The Sweetest Thing

Movie Insight

This chic flick was running on HBO last week. The cast includes Cameron Diaz as the lead named Christina Walter with her love interest played by Thomas Jane as Peter Donahue. The other casts include Christina Applegate as Courtney Rockcliffe and Selma Blair as Jane Burns, both friends with Cameron Diaz's character.

The story is light and funny, and if you're looking for a movie that's deep and intellectual..well better switch to something else. Christina was a girl who loved to party along with her best friends on clubs most nights and is almost always afraid to commit herself in a relationship until she met Peter. The main highlights and laughs of the movie was during Christina's quest to run after Peter and finally realize that he was the one that got away, thus forcing her to face the inevitable truth.

I recommend this movie to watch with your girlfriends who just want to chill out and relax. The storyline might not be award winning but the antics and the jokes more than makes up for it.
