Rahul Seth is a dashing young millionaire who believes he is "western" enough to rebel against his mother and grandmother. They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly who, to make matters worse, is a pop star. Before you can say "karmic intervention," Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul's mother sees the opportunity she's been waiting for. She threatens to call off his sister's wedding unless he finds himself a "nice Indian girl." Rahul enlists the services of Sue, a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not "married" to the conventions taught to young Indian women. With a wink in her eye, Sue accepts the deal to pose as his Indian bride-to-be. She needs the money and having never been a fan of the typical Indian male, she feels her heart is safe. The charade begins....

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!

A slapstick comedy for those who prefer their slapstick in poor taste. Admittedly, the funniest sequence is that with Charlie Dell as the delightfully fazed Christian priest who attempts to tie the knot in the wedding scene. But come on, boys, play fair! What's the name of the Hollywood movie in which a likably cute but totally ineffectual Jewish rabbi is set up and satirized? Maybe I'm wrong, but off hand, I can't think of any such scenes in any Hollywood movies at all, although there are such interludes in German and Russian movies of the 1930s and early 1940s. However, getting back to The Sweetest Thing, the movie tends to focus all its attention on the ladies. Like the minister, the men are all ineffectual and make little impression. In fact, the movie is virtually an extension of locked-in-the-toilet gags that mostly vary from sickening to indigestible. The Columbia DVD describes the movie as a totally fresh twist. What rubbish! Toilet gags have been with us since at least 5,000 B.C.

Good comedy. It went full romantic in the end, but lots of laughs before that.Can't understand why people are down on this. It goes for love at first sight and sets as many obstacles as possible, with a good twist at the wedding.The three actresses create a good set of characters, and it's interesting to see the different personalities. Diaz carries it (although she can't dance), Applegate is razor sharp, and Blair is the beauty needing more screen time.The San Fran gay side goes over the top with the medical emergency blowjob, but anyone complaining about the vulgarity needs brain surgery. Through the eye. With a ... And the glory hole scene should have been trashier.

Is 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.
