A different way of telling a story

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

There are very few romantic drama/comedies where the two characters part in anything like this way, nor does the illness of the Theron character get revealed until the middle of the film. Certainly, the approach of the Theron character to her life is very unusual. Charlize Theron brings on her charm, and Keanu Reeves turns in a surprisingly worthy performance in a movie that's as light as a fall breeze. Yes, the way in which the two develop their romance is a bit tough to swallow at first, but if you can ignore that and allow their growing relationship to touch your heart, then the movie succeeds on those terms. It seems preposterous, but with a movie like this, the events come in such an order that you can forgive these little pitfalls. Their budding romance really does have a kick to it, and despite the outside criticism, Theron and Reeves do have some good on screen chemistry that lights up the screen in moments and provides for some very touching moments.The film also has a lot of warm-hearted laughs. A scene in which Sara stands outside Nelson's apartment and begins shouting risqué comments at people in order to gain his attention will have you chuckling, while her neighbors, two homosexuals who host a dinner party for the four of them in drag, are a riot. And the overall sweet nature of the relationship between the two is something to smile about, as well as shed a few tears over. In one of his better roles, Keanu Reeves is convincingly emotional as Nelson. In the beginning, her perfectly portrays the egotistical attitude and outlook of his character, and then makes a very believable segue to someone who is so in love he is willing to change his whole life. Charlize Theron is, as always, a gem, bringing a touch of warmth and cheerfulness to her role as Sara. Her acting embodies her character with the zest for life needed to sell us on Sara's motives, and Theron captures that completely. It met all of my expectations, which were few, but the fact that it met them is enough to recommend the film! Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

I really had never, seen, heard, or even had a hint of this movie since 2001. I have about 300 channels, Kindle Video etc. The only reason it probably was off my radar was that my son was only six months old at the time. I am a sucker for love stories, and believe me I've seen my share of rotten eggs masquerading as a love story, and paid for expensive theater tickets because critics said it was a good movie, and then got disappointed. I saw this as a suggestion on my kindle and it intrigued me so I watched it. I can't understand WHY THE CRITICS DISLIKED THIS MOVIE. Chaz (Keaneau), acted the part exactly as it was supposed to be. An insensitive workaholic who never got a mirror shoved in his face. The Character Sara, (Charleze), Showed just as much compassion as desperation, to make a change in someone's life as well as trying to live her life to the fullest. I don't think I'd blame her because I think a lot of people would do the same, knowing the percentage of the cure of her diagnosis. Her choice was to stay in a hospital bed and hope for a miracle or try to live her life without remorse right up to the end. I worked in a nursing home once and saw people being kept alive much longer then their quality of life, which was drug induced pain induced machine extended time machine, as they waited for their lives to end. I wept like a baby at the end. I think the critics hated it because it didn't have a Disney ending like most love stories do, (ie: The Notebook, the Time Traveler, You've got mail "which I thought the premise of that plot to be entirely ridiculous", etc). There was some awkwardness in a couple of scenes but in the entirety of the movie I really didn't consider it important. I LOVED THIS MOVIE AND BOUGHT IT THE DAY AFTER I RENTED IT. If you like love stories like "Somewhere in Time". You'll love Sweet November.

the movie made no sense the plot was boring & to mention in addition there was absolutely nothing to watch. Lemme tell me the plot in my way, there was a man living his own life and suddenly some day a girl out of nowhere starts telling him that you are not living life to fullest and same old crap and then girls like wants the man to come live with him and i don't know f**k him and cause he too wants it so bad he goes to her. So now they live with each other happy and some day girl goes crazy and suddenly she is sick and no surprise she has a cancer and as she has mad rules and stuff she leaves the man and THE END. Ending is just so Boo man. Wasted my 2hours and 1 min on the movie. Seriously DON'T watch the movie until u need a reason to be depressed ... LOL !!

After some time, I just got few tears on a movie. I am a guy and I am not ashamed of it. Its a beautiful romantic story.The movie looked very real for me and acting of the lead character's Nelson and Sara was very perfect.Nelson is a smart workaholic guy working for an advertising company,who doesn't know how life is really aside of work. But Sara is straight opposite to him and what happens when these two cross their roads forms the crux of the story.Don't have any prejudice and watch the movie for how ever it is, you'll love it for sure. It is indeed a 'sweet' NovemberPS: Love is what life is all about. With little tears ~ Sweet November
