2/10
Pretty Trash
30 August 2002
I can't believe some viewers actually liked this! I love "There's Something About Mary", which this movie is trying to one-up, and does a lousy job of it. Is this supposed to be a "chick-flick" version of the Farrelly brothers? If so, it bombed. About the only good things about it were, from my male point of view, the gorgeous women playing the leads, especially Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate. They made it a little easier to watch, but face it, this is brainless and not funny! So what we have, then, is pretty trash.

Even the brazen attempt to be even grosser than "Something About Mary"'s zipper versus the "beans and frank", with an even more unbelievable oral sex turned into a neighborhood carnival by "getting stuck", is so crude and so ridiculous, it reminded me of "Deep Throat", not "Something About Mary". "Mary" was sidesplittingly funny. "Throat" was stupid and trashy, and so is "The Sweetest Thing" (most misleading title ever).

2/10, a high vote compared to the 1/10 I wanted to give it, simply because of Diaz and Applegate, who were always good to look at.
