Movie Review

The Sweetest Thing (2002)

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Release Date: Apr 12, 2002; Rated: R; Lengths: 84 Minutes, 85 Minutes; Genres: Comedy, Romance; With: Christina Applegate and Cameron Diaz; Distributor: Columbia Pictures

Cameron Diaz teases, flirts, and dares to act the fool, all as a way of declaring her love for the most desirable person on screen: herself. The movie, a girls-rule! gross-out comedy pretending to be a romantic comedy, is full of gags that are more tasteless than funny. In this case, though, the grunge jokes become the backdrop for an exercise in Extreme Screwball. C+
