    • Trivia
      The leather-coat guy that picks up Christina Applegate in the bar is her ex-husband, Johnathon Schaech.
    • Goofs
      When Courtney goes to talk to leather coat guy in the bar, she never runs out of olives in her drink even though she has been eating them for several minutes.
    • Quotes

      Courtney: How could you not know what a glory hole is?

      Christina: Well unlike my WHORE friend Courtney Rockcliff, I don't usually spend much time in men's public bathrooms.

    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits show a montage of scenes, outtakes and the five main cast members are sitting on a couch talking directly to the audience. After the credits roll, the cast tells the audience that the movie is over, and to go home.
    • Alternate versions
      The scene where Roger tells Peter about cheap prostitutes in Costa Rica was cut from all theater versions in that country. The DVD version however, shows the complete sequence.

    Devastatingly Dumb---and Fun ^_^
    While not meant to be taken at all seriously, The Sweetest Thing is a great movie to watch with the gals when you're looking for something light and funny. It's almost like the female There's Something About Mary; it has a lot of bathroom humor, which I usually am not really amused by, but this works, and it's basically just about three best friends just being happy, which is a nice message for a change. I couldn't believe the things in it, though, since I thought the movie was PG-13 the first time I watched it. O_o The best touch is that it's slightly absurd, like Wet Hot American Summer, which brings in more attention and unparalleled amusement. Highly recommended for girls--they'd enjoy it a lot more than guys...it's the Rated R Chick Flick.

    7/10--rather silly, but cute and feel good all the same ^_^
