The Sweetest Thing (DVD)

I like girly films, and when I spotted this on VHS in a pound shop about a year ago, I decided to buy it - after all for £1 it's a cheap night in! ~The Plot~ Christina Walters (Cameron Diaz) is a single girl who loves life, and loves men, but has no plans to settle down any time soon.
