Sweet November (2001)

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This film is warm and sorrowful. I do not see much love story but, the lead that I watched this movie was that my favorite actor, Keanu Reeves, played the main character. However, as I watched it actually, it fixed my attention and I have watched it many times.The charming point in this film is that the relation between Sara Deever and Nelson Moss is not usual. They do not know each other. Especially, Sara unexpectedly appears at Nelson. Who is she? Nelson never knows and mistrust her at first, but he is gradually attracted to the woman yet she has a secret. Although Sara appears to be Nelson's girlfriend for a few time, she notices she has truly loved him. Then she decides to go away him because of her being reluctant to show her weakness him. There are pros and cons in her thought, but I disagree with it. She is selfish. Love can overcome some plights. Love can lead our good ways to live. I think so. Also, the soundtrack improves the quality of this movie. The music fits in it. It doubles the impression of the audience. Though I cannot agree with Sara's behavior, I like this film as one work.

One of the best on screen love story. Keanu and Charlize were both good in their parts. The story line-up was nice. The pace of the movie was also nice. The location set-up was all in place and it deserve a good rating. Charlize looks damn pretty as always. This movie will make you cry and you will fall for the movie without doubt. It is a must see for Charlize fans. Music soundtrack was good. Had few cheesy lines but overall the script was good. Oh, and since I used to be someone exactly like the Reeves character is the start of the movie, I can relate to what it is to discover that there is more to life. His character is real alright, but in the surreal sort of way that only those who have actually been there and escaped, truly understand. Now, if only I had had someone as charming as Ms. Theron to show me.

Sweet November (2001): Dir: Pat O'Connor / Cast: Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, Jason Isaacs, Liam Aiken, Lauren Graham: Dreary depressing pill romance about that faithful day in November when workaholic Keanu Reeves is forced to live with Charlize Theron for an entire month so that she may change his outlook on life. Soon her illness surfaces leading to a depraved ending. Directed by Pat O'Connor who also made the miserable Inventing the Abbotts. Who did he wrong in order to be stuck with those two awful titles on his resume? The ending is totally predictable so feel free to beat yourself over the head with a bag of rocks. The film also asks an age old question. What is Theron attempting here anyway? She could lug in Jack the Ripper for all she knows. Why doesn't she do a crossword puzzle on the back of a cereal box instead. She plays the biggest stupidest idiot of any romantic film while Reeves plays a complete moron who will predictably come to love this woman rather than pass time by firing darts at pictures of her. Jason Isaacs plays Theron's cross-dressing friend who is there for support. One might say she would need it after starring in trash such as this. This becomes an example as to why males often hate going to date movies because junk like this reduces one's intelligence. Great locations cannot save this pathetic and manipulative snot rag story. Score: 3 / 10

I don't even remember how many times I have looked this lovely movie and every time I'm experiencing a huge delight and flight of my soul. Charlize Theron is incredibly beautiful woman and startling actress, just to look at her it's already great delectation. "Sweet September" is prettily story about love, about life and cost of its every moment. Someone will think this film too sad, someone too sweet, but for me it's very life-asserting and inspiring story after which you just ready to fall in love to any stranger on the street and it's inexpressible feeling. I have seen a lot of similar films, such as "Autumn in New York", "Griffin & Phoenix", "The Notebook" and others, but in my opinion "Sweet September" is the best. Sara Deever changed my life too!!!
