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.
