This one is really fun to watch. I like the light-hearted and stupidly funny tone of the movie and that is what makes a comedy appealing for me.This sort of comedy doesn't have to make sense to be a good watch for the audience and it is possible that some folks find it "not good" because of that.I am watching this sort of movies to switch off and have a laugh; because I know I am not watching a documentary or a movie aspiring for the Academy Awards.All in all an enjoyable ride for me!
... View MoreIs it just me, or is Cameron Diaz the most nauseating actress...ever? Lately it seems that every movie she is in that shows her grinning into the camera should insert a sparkling gleam like a gum or toothpaste commercial. That sickening sweet smile and cutesy looks are getting OLD!!!! Honestly, I see no acting talent. All I see is cute smiles and looks into the camera that screams, "Look at me! I'm pretty!". Think I'm kidding? Watch The Holiday with her and Kate Winslet. In fact, Cameron Diaz AND Jude Law are too sugary sweet in that movie that I could do without either one of them and just have the movie with Kate Winslet and Jack Black only featured and it would be a far better movie with far better actors. Also......Cameron Diaz seems to have developed John Travolta's issue of having to dance in almost every movie she is in or that I have seen her in. Honestly, she doesn't dance that great. Does she know it, though? I think she should be told.
... View MoreChristina (Cameron Diaz) is a real heart breaker. She and her friend Courtney (Christina Applegate) are party girls who want to steer Jane (Selma Blair) away from the futile search for open and honest love. While partying with Jane at a bar, Christina meets Peter (Thomas Jane) who could turn out to be the love of her life.It's a age old question. Can hot girls be funny? They can definitely play dumb. Selma Blair has a couple of setups for her to shine. The funniest has to be the dry cleaner. The BJ scene isn't as funny as it could be. They could never show the actual BJ in a movie. So it only could ever be half funny. Selma has the funniest two scenes.The fact is Diaz and Applegate are smart, great actors with good comedic skills. But that's not their best assets. They're hot. The brains come second. The hot-girl default punchline to most jokes is the classic girlie squeal. It's never been a funny punchline to me.The girls aside, Thomas Jane is a blank in this movie. He's not funny, and he has no heat with Diaz. If this was a regular rom-com, he would need more screen time, and it would need somebody other than Thomas Jane.This is still relatively early on for the gross out humor era. Both Diaz and Applegate have done better in other comedies. They're too much alike. They don't make for a compelling comedy duo.
... View MoreThere are very few films I have ever seen (And I have seen thousands of them) that are without a single redeemable factor: "Jewel Robbery" 'The Adventures Of Pluto Nash", "Teenage Catgirls In Heat", "Walk On the Wild Side" and "The Sweetest Thing" make up the list (Even a Tera Patrick porn film is better, at least she is hot to look at (Unlike Cameron or Christina in this movie)). It is so bad, it actually makes the other Columbia Pictures "chick flick " turkey from 2002 ("Maid In Manhattan") look like "Citizen Kane". Simply put, this is a film to avoid like the plague, and as far as "Spoilers" are concerned, this film is a spoiler in and of itself.... It spoiled my meal because it made me sick to my stomach (Particular Ms. Applegate in the Men's Room, which was gross without being funny). I can't even vote to give it ONE star. Instead, from me....ZERO Stars.
