Former South Park
writer and Win Ben Stein's Money sidekick Nancy Pimental makes her feature
screenwriting debut with this relationship comedy. Cameron Diaz stars as
Christina Walters, a jaded, club-hopping single woman in San Francisco who
has given up trying to find the perfect mate to focus on "Mr. Right Now."
Her equally cynical friend, Courtney (Christina Applegate), a divorce
attorney, shares much the same attitude, while their pal, Jane (Selma
Blair), is more starry-eyed and naïve. Christina's attitude gets an
unexpected makeover one evening at a nightclub when she meets Peter Donahue
(Thomas Jane), a real estate agent she finds adorable and just about
perfect. Unfortunately, Peter leaves and all Christina knows about him is
that his brother, Roger (Jason Bateman), is getting married soon in their
small hometown. Recognizing her friend's romantic distress, Courtney
suggests they road trip to the wedding and Christina agrees, leading to
encounters with a series of obstacles, including some funky leftovers, a
filthy service station restroom, and a rather unpleasant revelation once the
women arrive at the nuptials. The Sweetest Thing co-stars Parker Posey.

Selma
says
"That banana gave me some of the best memories of my life. No, having
Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate and a whole crowd of extras behind me
with my head in a beautiful guy’s lap, it’s not that bad. No, I’m just being
silly. It was okay."
"I’m lucky I got to work with Christina and Cameron, such amazing girls to
work at a friendship with."
"knew Cameron two years before this movie. I think she hangs the moon.
Christina too, these are girls that I’ve known before the movie and they’re
my pals; I’ll be friends with them forever."
