The Sweetest Thing Movie Review 2002

Girls can be just as sex-obsessed and disgusting as boys as this raunchy comedy sets out to prove. San Francisco party girl Christina Walters (Diaz) isn't looking for Mr. Right--just Mr. Right Now. And she thinks she's met him when Christina and gal pal Courtney (Applegate) take the third of their Musketeer trio--the just-dumped Jane (Blair)--out to a dance club to drink and flirt. Christina meets cute with Peter (Jane) but doesn't follow through. After getting ragged on by Courtney, the babe duo decide to track him down at the oh-so-genteel wedding he's attending. Havoc ensues. Film's both giddy and sleazy but if you like Diaz at her daffiest, you'll sit through the tacky situations.
