... View MoreThe Sweetest Thing (2002): Dir: Roger Kumble / Cast: Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Selma Blair, Thomas Jane, Jason Bateman: Comedy about the need to be loved but the title observes it correctly when it is seen as a small thing. Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair play best friends who cruise the clubs in search of male stimulation. Lame plot regards a road trip where Diaz hopes to connect with a male she encountered at a club. Gross comedy in a predictable flow of senseless sexual orientation. Diaz and Christina Applegate enter a men's washroom where a peep hole produces a penis. Why it came from the girl's washroom is something director Roger Kumble never figured on. He loses focus pulling from Diaz and Applegate back to Selma Blair for no real purpose. He previously made Cruel Intentions but here the cruelty feels far more intentional. Diaz and Applegate travel road movie formula with no payoff. Blair is caught in a pitifully filmed oral sex scene where police are summoned. Thomas Jane plays the forgettable love interest with the personality of an oven mitt . Jason Bateman plays Jane's womanizing brother and even that fails to add humour to this piece of crap excuse for a comedy. Easily one of the worst films of the year with talent that is far beyond it. It presents women in male oriented humour but it is hardly a sweet thing. Score: 1 / 10
... View MoreGood comedy. It went full romantic in the end, but lots of laughs before that.Can't understand why people are down on this. It goes for love at first sight and sets as many obstacles as possible, with a good twist at the wedding.The three actresses create a good set of characters, and it's interesting to see the different personalities. Diaz carries it (although she can't dance), Applegate is razor sharp, and Blair is the beauty needing more screen time.The San Fran gay side goes over the top with the medical emergency blowjob, but anyone complaining about the vulgarity needs brain surgery. Through the eye. With a ... And the glory hole scene should have been trashier.
... View MoreChristina (Cameron Diaz) is a real heart breaker. She and her friend Courtney (Christina Applegate) are party girls who want to steer Jane (Selma Blair) away from the futile search for open and honest love. While partying with Jane at a bar, Christina meets Peter (Thomas Jane) who could turn out to be the love of her life.It's a age old question. Can hot girls be funny? They can definitely play dumb. Selma Blair has a couple of setups for her to shine. The funniest has to be the dry cleaner. The BJ scene isn't as funny as it could be. They could never show the actual BJ in a movie. So it only could ever be half funny. Selma has the funniest two scenes.The fact is Diaz and Applegate are smart, great actors with good comedic skills. But that's not their best assets. They're hot. The brains come second. The hot-girl default punchline to most jokes is the classic girlie squeal. It's never been a funny punchline to me.The girls aside, Thomas Jane is a blank in this movie. He's not funny, and he has no heat with Diaz. If this was a regular rom-com, he would need more screen time, and it would need somebody other than Thomas Jane.This is still relatively early on for the gross out humor era. Both Diaz and Applegate have done better in other comedies. They're too much alike. They don't make for a compelling comedy duo.
... View MoreThis is the movie that really made Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate really unattractive. And I don't even know why Selma Blair decided to be part of this craptastic flick. It has this message of sometimes you have to jump and take risks for love. But the whole journey is one dumb, immature and unfunny segment after another. The chemistry is just plain weak and absolutely not believable. It's just about how many crude, rude, dumb, and gross stuff a trio of girls can do along the journey. This one is a waste of time and a absolute pass. It just gave me a headache all around.1.6/10
