September 26, 2011The idea forwarded here seems to be that cows can be just as stupid and lewd and backward as bulls (!!!). The result amazingly reaches the same conclusion: boring, and embarrassingly so. The cast, however brave, fails to lift the material. The groaning you will hear, that'd b... read more

June 23, 2011Hilarious! Some of the scenes were cringing but you couldn't help but laugh.

April 29, 2011This movie is one big hot mess, but it's so disastrously, disgustingly fun I don't even care.

August 2, 2010Unfunny, gross, and a little strange. Thomas Jane gives a good enough performance, but there's no excuse for Applegate, Blair, and Diaz.

May 17, 2010I don't think anyone in their right mind would call this a good movie, but it is a lot of fun and has a good cast. Some of it is so bad you don't know whether to laugh or cringe. Definitely falls into the guilty pleasure category.

March 22, 2009Generic romantic comedy with lots of pointless slapstick humor that falls flat. Decently entertaining, but that just isn't enough.

January 27, 2008Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate are excellent as best friends and career singles undertake a road trip in an effort to locate a specific guy who initiated more than a few sparks during a brief nightclub chat. This ribald sex farce, belying its name, is a tawdry little flick ... read more

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. Full Review

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

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Loses its sense of humor in a vat of failed jokes, twitchy acting, and general boorishness. Full Review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
The Sweetest Thing has nothing insightful to say about relationships, and nothing funny to say about the singles scene. Full Review

Joel Siegel, ABCNEWS.COM
Remember the movie critic Sony invented to give their films good reviews? Not even he would like this movie.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Bound to appeal to women looking for a howlingly trashy time.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Clever packaging of boy fantasy and girl fantasy.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Essentially a collection of bits -- and they're all naughty. Full Review

Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
A bunch of intermittently amusing sketches that collectively don't add up to much of a picture. Full Review
