Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Female characters should be allowed to engage in raunchy humor on the big screen; they already do on the small one with Sex and the City. But unlike that HBO series, The Sweetest Thing has no guts.

This picture is one of the flattest, stupidest, unfunniest sex comedies -- as well as one of the worst all-round pictures -- I've ever seen.

Seems to have been assembled (at short notice, with blindfolds on) by people who have never seen any movies outside of Cameron Diaz vehicles.

rotten:
Loses its sense of humor in a vat of failed jokes, twitchy acting, and general boorishness.

The Sweetest Thing has nothing insightful to say about relationships, and nothing funny to say about the singles scene.
