Some reviewer called it unrealistic. They think that because its so different. Jasmine isn't endearing, but she isn't meant to be. However, you begin to care for her just as Arliss does, against your will and with a feeling of doom.... Full review

I urge anyone who cannot sit through a Meg Ryan film without wanting to scream "the world is not like this!" at the top of their lungs to watch this film. Sweethearts is an absolutely fantastic film, with a pair of... Full review

This film has a wonderful blend of comedians inside, Janeane Garafalo, Margret Cho and Bobcat Golthwait. The mystery here is, this isn't REALLY a comedy. It is a fairly serious tale of a woman meeting a man for the first time.... Full review

I saw a trailer for this movie last night and feel compelled to comment on it. In short, the trailer makes this film look like a sweet, quirky, romantic comedy. It isn't. Janeane Garafalo plays a suicidal loner who tricks a... Full review

Given the straight-to-video release, the tricky subject matter, and the B-list celebrities that make up the cast, Sweethearts turned out to be much better than I expected.
Luckily, everyone in Sweethearts gives a first-class performance, including Margaret Cho and Bob Goldthwait, in significant supporting roles as the coffeehouse baristas.
