Plot-wise it's already a little dumb. So this girl "helps" guys every month by sleeping with them and making them fall in love? All because she's dying? What help is that supposed to do? She squeezes herself into one's life, tries to change it in drastic ways, and then when he falls in love she drops the bomb? I think that's selfish. Nelson's transition from being all "get away from me" to "I wanna be with you forever" felt all too sudden and unrealistic. Also, the fact that he gave up a big opportunity for a girl he just met is crazy! Hey, love isn't gonna feed you. Wasn't he fired already? So he actually kinda swallowed his pride and tried to suck it up to get a meeting with this big guy and he just throws it away for what? Because Mr. Big guy got pissed and he politely told the waitress how he felt? And that waitress crying where the customers can see? That's weird and unprofessional unless, well, she's asking for attention and I won't feel bad for that.Another weird thing is if Sarah stopped chemo over a year ago and her cancer's in a late stage, she would have more physical symptoms that Nelson would have noticed and questioned. They were together 24/7! Keanu's acting was not that good. When he's not talking he looks alright.I don't like the movie overall but I'm not giving it a 1/10 because the ending scene was actually quite cute. It's got me a bit of goosebumps going on. Too bad the story didn't build up so well.

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.

I haven't seen this movie in along time but I do remember most of it.The film stars Keanu Reeves who meets a young woman named Sara(played by Charlize Theron) who is working on a project about men where she would date them and then break up with them. So Sara ends up falling for Nelson(Reeves)and they live together all through the month of November. But Sara of course is hiding a terrible secret....and like in almost every Nicholas Sparks movies(seriously this film should have been created by him)as get this Sara is dying of cancer and that is why she breaks up with men as Keanu's charcther spots her taking pills and he had no idea that she was dying of cancer. So will Nelson help Sara with her illness.Bottom line like I have said I haven't seen this movie in years and I just thought I write a short review on it. I always like Keanu Reeves since Speed so it was nice to see him star in a tearjerker like this. Whenever its on TV again I will check it out if its on a early time.

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
