Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

That cameraderie is bound to appeal to women looking for a howlingly trashy time.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | John AndersonAdd Critic to Favorites

The trick is getting from a conclusion made five minutes into a movie to an ending 90 minutes away. It can be a scary prospect. In The Sweetest Thing it is mostly a hoot.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

This movie is to sweet as a dog is to a hydrant. But it's little things like that that keep someone like Diaz laughing all the way to the urinal.Read the full review

Washington Post | Stephen HunterAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie is neither good nor bad, but in its clever packaging of boy fantasy and girl fantasy, extremely cunning. As for Princess Diaz, no force on Earth can stop her now.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

A movie in which laughter and self-exploitation merge into jolly soft-porn ''empowerment.''Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

Aspires to be a cinematic "Sex and the City," but it's more like South Park Goes West.Read the full review

Variety | Robert KoehlerAdd Critic to Favorites

A comedy that starts the date in a frisky mood but sours before it's time to kiss goodnight.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

It knows the words but not the music; while the Farrelly brothers got away with murder, The Sweetest Thing commits suicide.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Has some promise as a throw-away, lighthearted romance. Unfortunately, once those elements are gone, what's left only has a running time of about 13 minutes.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

Diaz does what she can under adverse circumstances, but she doesn't come close to salvaging this ramshackle vehicle.Read the full review
