Our exit today has us crashing the wedding of our new crush. This week, we are talking about The Sweetest Thing , written by Nancy Pimental and directed by Roger Kumble.A lot of our focus is on whether this early female-raunch comedy really works, and we can't help but talk about a lot of later examples. But we also talk Cameron Diaz, tonsils, Christina Applegate, San Francisco, Greta Gerwig, background gags, montages, Ben Affleck, men behaving badly, and some questionable reviews.
