The Sweetest Thing

As the spotlight falls on Christina Walters, a 28-year-old interior designer with a reputation for being a shrewd player in San Francisco's swinging singles scene, a chorus of opinions emerges. Her acquaintances describe her as a cunning manipulator who effortlessly weaves her way through the city's social fabric, leaving a trail of broken hearts and bruised egos in her wake.

Christina's close friend and fellow free spirit Courtney Rockcliffe, a divorce lawyer with a knack for reading between the lines, is privy to Christina's inner workings. The two women console their shared acquaintance Jane, who has recently parted ways with her beau, by treating her to an evening of revelry at a popular dance club in North Beach. As they dance the night away, Christina takes it upon herself to play matchmaker, pairing Jane with Peter, a charismatic stranger. However, when Peter turns out to be a harsh critic of Christina's tactics, he abandons her mid-conversation, leaving her feeling deflated.

As she processes the encounter with Courtney in the ladies' room, Christina reveals a vulnerability that suggests Peter may have unwittingly pierced her defenses, stirring up long-dormant feelings. Though she vehemently denies any romantic inclinations, her friends remain skeptical of her claims.

The following night, Christina and Peter cross paths once more, this time over drinks at the same club where they first met. As they converse, he reveals plans to attend his brother Roger's wedding on Saturday, accompanied by a bevy of beautiful women. He extends an invitation for Christina and Courtney to join them for an after-party at their hotel suite, but Christina ultimately declines, later regretting her decision.

The next day, as Christina and Courtney enjoy a leisurely lunch together, the topic of Peter dominates their conversation. Meanwhile, Jane pays an embarrassing visit to the dry cleaner's, where she runs into her boyfriend once more. In a bold move, Courtney books flights for herself and Christina to Somerset, where Peter's brother is tying the knot, and they meet Jane's beau at the ceremony.

As they depart in Courtney's trusty Saab 9-5, the trio embarks on a series of misadventures that include an exploding toilet, the discovery of a hidden glory hole, and a motorcyclist who mistakenly assumes Courtney is receiving oral pleasure from Christina while driving.

As Jane navigates her illicit tryst with her boyfriend (actor name) in the cramped confines of a retail store changing room, unaware that their clandestine encounter is about to be exposed, two friends, Christina and Courtney, find themselves in Somerset, struggling to recover from the torrential downpour that has left them drenched and bedraggled. Seeking solace and a fresh wardrobe, they stumble upon a store, only to emerge in attire that is as loud as it is unflattering.

Upon arriving at the wedding, Christina's initial doubts are assuaged by a series of serendipitous events, including a chance encounter with the bride herself, which ultimately convinces her to attend the ceremony. However, their presence is short-lived, as they soon discover that Peter, not Roger, is the groom-to-be, and in their frantic bid to escape, they nearly disrupt the proceedings.

The wedding is called off, and Christina and Courtney return home, where they play a crucial role in extracting Jane from a precarious situation with her boyfriend, who has unwittingly summoned the emergency services. Months later, Christina finds herself pining for love once more, while Courtney has seemingly found happiness with her doctor beau.

Meanwhile, Peter embarks on a journey of self-discovery, tracking down Christina's whereabouts through a logbook from their ill-fated shopping expedition. With a newfound determination to confront his fears and commit to the idea of love, he professes his undying passion for Christina, only to be met with rejection. Undeterred, Peter shares his version of events in an interview, painting Christina as a heartless player who has left him battered and bruised.

In a stunning twist, however, Peter reveals that despite their tumultuous past, Christina and he have eventually found common ground, exchanging vows and building a life together with Jane, Courtney, and Roger, the latter now happily ensconced in his own domestic bliss.
