 "And people make fun of me for liking Showgirls."
-- Mark Adnum, MARKADNUM.COM
"[Screenwriter] Pimental took the Farrelly Brothers comedy and feminized it, but it is a rather poor imitation."
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM
 "A fast, funny, highly enjoyable movie."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Bad. Very bad. Stultifyingly, dumbfoundingly, mind-numbingly bad."
-- Todd Anthony, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"Every visual joke is milked, every set-up obvious and lengthy, every punchline predictable. There's no energy."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES
"The Sweetest Thing is expressly for idiots who don't care what kind of sewage they shovel into their mental gullets to simulate sustenance."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"The entire film is one big excuse to play one lewd scene after another. About half of them are funny, a few are sexy and none are useful in telling the story, which is paper-thin and decidedly unoriginal."
-- Tim Cogshell, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"A sour attempt at making a Farrelly Brothers-style, down-and-dirty laugher for the female set."
-- Michael Dequina, FILM THREAT
"To be oblivious to the existence of this film would be very sweet indeed."
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES
"The Sweetest Thing leaves an awful sour taste."
-- Dan Gross, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
"None of this is meaningful or memorable, but frosting isn't, either, and you wouldn't turn down a big bowl of that, would you?"
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"Despite the fact that this film wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, it's still not a good movie"
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM
"The Sweetest Thing leaves a bitter taste."
-- Fred Hong Joo Jung, KOREA TIMES

"The Sweetest Thing, a romantic comedy with outrageous tendencies, may be a mess in a lot of ways. But it does have one saving grace. A lot of its gags and observations reflect a woman's point-of-view."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"The sort of movie that gives tastelessness a bad rap."
-- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR
"Diaz wears out her welcome in her most charmless performance"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"...no charm, no laughs, no fun, no reason to watch."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"A sour attempt at making a Farrelly Brothers-style, down-and-dirty laugher for the female set."
-- Michael Dequina, MR. BROWN'S MOVIES
"Director Roger Kumble offers just enough sweet and traditional romantic comedy to counter the crudity. And there's the inimitable Diaz, holding it all together."
-- Jack Garner, ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE
"All right, so it's not a brilliant piece of filmmaking, but it is a funny (sometimes hilarious) comedy with a deft sense of humor about itself, a playful spirit and a game cast."
-- Ken Hanke, MOUNTAIN XPRESS (ASHEVILLE, NC)
"Diaz, Applegate, Blair and Posey are suitably kooky which should appeal to women and they strip down often enough to keep men alert, if not amused."
-- Louis B. Hobson, JAM! MOVIES
"Sewer rats could watch this movie and be so skeeved out that they'd need a shower."
-- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER
"A coarse and stupid gross-out."
-- Jim Lane, SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW

Avg. Rating: 4.4/10 |
"A movie with a real anarchic flair."
-- John Anderson, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Loses its sense of humor in a vat of failed jokes, twitchy acting, and general boorishness."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"It's deep-sixed by a compulsion to catalog every bodily fluids gag in There's Something About Mary and devise a parallel clone-gag."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"An awkward hybrid of genres that just doesn't work."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST
"A movie in which laughter and self-exploitation merge into jolly soft-porn 'empowerment.'"
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"It's refreshing to see a girl-power movie that doesn't feel it has to prove anything."
-- Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"[Diaz] can blunder into the crudest situations with such sweet innocence as to inspire giggles rather than groans."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Bound to appeal to women looking for a howlingly trashy time."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST
"Essentially a collection of bits -- and they're all naughty."
-- Peter Howell, TORONTO STAR
"Clever packaging of boy fantasy and girl fantasy."
-- Stephen Hunter, WASHINGTON POST

"Not everything works, but the average is higher than in Mary and most other recent comedies."
-- Jackie Loohauis, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
