The 1968 version of Sweet November was a frothy fable that worked, for the most part, due to the charmingly offbeat chemistry of costars Sandy Dennis and Anthony Newley. For this turn-of-the-millennium remake, Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron do their best to ground the fable in a more sophisticated reality, but that's just what this movie doesn't need. The premise is preposterous to begin with, so we need credible fantasy to leap over chasms of logic and ease into what should be a tear-jerking variation of Love Story. It's certainly possible to get suckered into the movie's sticky-sweet romance, but you'll need extra effort to suspend your disbelief. Theron is Sara, who pathologically lures men into romance for one month at a time, "helping" them before moving onto the next month's catch. She's avoiding long-term commitments because she's deathly ill--a fact revealed by hundreds of prescription bottles hidden in her medicine cabinet. Reeves is Nelson, the fast-lane advertising executive who reluctantly becomes Sara's Mr. November. He's insulting and callous until he learns the truth, at which point director Pat O'Connor makes a 180-degree tone shift that cannot possibly succeed. Theron makes the most of her movie-sickness routine, but Reeves is out of his depth, and not one but two romantic montages (set to the music of Enya, no less) only emphasize the movie's abundant clichés (the most obvious being The Patriot's Jason Isaacs as Theron's supportive gay neighbor). Cry if you must, but don't let anyone catch you. --Jeff Shannon

 sweet March 1, 2010
Richard Schulman (Bristol)
Don't pass on this sweet, sentimental chick flick.
It got all the goods: good acting, charming, sad mysterious
story. Lost love, found love, search for meaning.
Scenic location San Francisco. Don't forget the tissues.
 Sweet November January 8, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Each month free-spirited Sara Deever starts a new relationship. Her task is to take a month to make one man become a better person, and then she moves on. When November rolls around and Sara targets the busy tycoon, Nelson Moss, she does not plan on falling in love. But they do, and as a result, Nelson learns the painful secret behind the brevity of Sara's romances. This movie is extremely original and creative from start to finish. Keaunu Reeves and Charlize Theron have excellent chemistry and work extremely well together. I enjoyed this movie and I highly recommend it.

Probably one of the sweetest and saddest love stories I have seen in a long time. Loved watching it 4 times. Will watch 4 more. You will laugh and cry.

So San Francisco October 23, 2008
Michelle Twain (East Coast)
This is not just about two people in love, it is about San Francisco at its best. It is about making the most of every day. So what if it is a little too "chickflicky". Way to go, Charlize!
