Movies: The Sweetest Thing

In real life, do heterosexual women paw and kiss each other as much as they do in this huffing comedy of sisterhood? Or is so much touchy-feely just a way to sell a girls' dish movie to male voyeurs? Cameron Diaz, determined to give J. Lo a run for her booty, shakes her thang and vigorously bonds with gal friends Christina Applegate and Selma Blair. The guys are just plot ornaments for the oral-sex gags and changes of clothes. Randy and giggly, this is a femme version of The Man Show.
