cover Movie: The Sweetest Thing
Type: romantic comedy
Original Release Date: 2002
Rating: R

Starring: Cameron Diaz, Selma Blair, Christina Applegate
Directed by: Roger Kumble

Synopsis:
Christina Walters (played by Diaz) is a player and commitment-phobe. Then she meets Mr. Right while out dancing with her friends Courtney and Jane (Applegate and Blair). When she tries to call him the next day, he is already gone. She and Courtney travel across the state to find him.

I might recommend this movie.

Why?
This movie left me with a feeling of "eh." I wasn't overly fond of it, finding some of the humor a little too gross for my tastes, and some of the plot a little "too much" for my liking. There are some very funny parts, but I feel like these actors can do a lot better quality films.

For most of the film, my husband and I were trying to figure out who the character of Roger Donahue was played by (Justin Bateman).

Additional Comments:

Justin Bateman and Parker Posey also have roles in this movie.
