Sweet November Customer Reviews (22 - 24 of 26 Reviews)

Almost good
I don't usually write reviews, cause my bad English, but here I go.
The story is good, interesting and nice to follow. Charlize's character is beautiful and well acted. I liked the plot a lot, and although some said the ending was bad, I really think it was a good ending, not the usual cliche (I won't write any spoiler, but you'll see)
I give the movie only 3 stars, cause I don't know what was wrong with the director, choosing Keanu Reeves for this story. This guy is good on action flicks only. He can't show ANY emotion, and what about his arm mannerisms? Is that acting? I can truly say that I saw so many of his "Bill & Ted Excellent Adventures" character that I was shocked.
Charlize did great though.
Good movie. But not better than "A Walk to Remember" Rent that one instead, really touching.

"Sweet November" Is One Sweet Movie!
It's hard to imagine the premise of this film happening in real life...a young woman devotes an entire month of her life to helping the lives of complete strangers. Or, to put it mildly, she takes a new lover every month. Nelson (Keanu Reeves) is, at the start of the film, obsessed with one thing...himself. He's selfish, arrogant, and a workaholic. Sara (Charlize Theron) is a free spirit who decides that Nelson needs her "help." Over the course of the month, we see Nelson transformed into a lovesick sweetie (he even sings for Sara, and I was blown away...Keanu Reeves can sing, and sing well!) The month ends, but Nelson doesn't want the relationship to. He tries his hardest to win Sara over and make her forget about her "one month only" rule, but Sara has a secret that forces her to stick to her rule, and it's this secret that is the most devastating to Nelson. Keanu & Charlize are good together, and the film has some tender moments, but the end was a letdown for me. As far as Keanu's role goes, he seemed more comfortable in the role of laid-back nice guy instead of the arrogant person that he started out as. Of course, I will never have anything bad to say about him, as I worship the ground he walks on. Charlize gives a fine performance, as well. Frank Langella has a juicy bit part as a man who is so nasty and cold, it gave me chills, and he must have given Nelson the chills, too, because we see in his eyes a slight change as he sees in Langella what he doesn't want to become. Also, look for the lovely Lauren Graham (TV's "Gilmore Girls) as Nelson's girlfriend, Angelica. All in all, a very sweet, touching, and sad film with wonderful performances.

Laughable -- Another Keanu Comedy Classic!!!
As in The Devil's Advocate, Keanu Reeves in Sweet November tries to play a talented professional who has reached the top of his profession, in this case a successful but heartless advertising executive. To suggest that Reeves is in over his head is to understate the situation. The man simply cannot make me believe that he has anything like an I.Q. His big Hot Dog Advertising Campaign Presentation is one of the funniest scenes in movie history, mainly because one can sense that Keanu is working so very very hard and is failing so very very badly. It is hysterically funny, just like Elizabeth Berkley's big dramatic tantrums in Showgirls. It should be common knowledge by now: Keanu Reeves cannot act. He cannot act. He cannot act.
Sweet November is a silly little bit of romance that is lifted straight into high-camp heaven, just by casting the inept Keanu Reeves.
