Sweetest Thing I’ve Ever Known…

Do you believe in fate? I do.

So yesterday, a really great friend of mine was talking about the movie “The Sweetest Thing”. She was ranting and raving about how it’s THEE funniest “chick flick” she’s ever seen. She asked me if I’ve ever seen it and of course I scowled at her while shaking my head furiously “no”. She said that I was missing out, and I didn’t pay that ANY mind because this is the same person who told me the movie “Julie and Julia” was AWESOME…

So, today, I’m channel surfing and what a co-inky-dink…”The Sweetest Thing” is on HBO (it’s also on demand this month!!). I immediately call her and alert her. Of course she’s super excited because she’s queer that way, and she proceeds to invite me over her apt to watch WITH her while vegging out on white chocolate chip cookies and chocolate ice cream (diabetes here I come!). I oblige her, the whole time just knowing that this is going to be a very bad flick.

Boy was I wrong (and I’m NEVER wrong…I’m peeeerrrrrfect )

This was one of the funniest movies I have EVER seen in my entire 21 years….ok…26, but whatevs…

From the very beginning, I was laughing-out-loud! Christina Applegate was absolutely hilarious! Cameron Diaz was the main character, and she was funny as well, but Christina MADE this movie! Now, I know what you’re thinking, especially if you’re a guy. But PLEASE, I beg of you…if you enjoy stomach-hurting, doubled-over, teary-eyed laughter, then you must watch this movie. Everyone has HBO On Demand, just order and watch. If you don’t have HBO, kill yourself. Then revive your dead body and ORDER it in haste!

I promise, promise, promise, you will not regret it!
