Synopsis
Based on the screenplay by Herman Raucher for the 1968 film of the same title, SWEET NOVEMBER stars Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves in the story of an experimental love affair. Theron is Sara, a free-spirited woman who runs across tight-laced ad executive Nelson (Reeves) at the DMV. Nelson wants only to be left alone to continue on the fast track of his career, but Sara is drawn to him. She makes him an offer: to be her November, the man who will live with her for one month only, during which she will "help" him. Not sure why, Nelson accepts, finding that Sara appeals to something he didn't even know was inside him. As she begins to change his life, Nelson realizes what he's been missing in his career-centered world--but just as he begins to reach out to her, Nelson finds that Sara has secrets of her own.

5.0 out of 5 stars One for the girls!, 25 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This is a "Love Story" style of romance, with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron as the loving couple. Keanu has a chance to show his skills in areas other than stunts and weaponry - this film includes him singing (in a pleasant baritone) and dancing. Charlize looks good and there's also a cuddly dog!
This is unlikely to appeal to macho man (anyone expecting a Matrix-type gunfight will be disappointed) but most females will love it.
Highly recommended for Valentine's night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet November, 28 Aug 2006
I LOVE this film. It represents the summary of life. Either live it or die. Theron is the embodiment of a rapturous life-lover and you can not help but fall in love with her as she embraces every day as if it is her last. Maybe it is. Reeves portrays his rigid, mechanical advertiser's role quite well, but I can not help but think that there was something missing there. Can't quite put my finger on it. However, cast aside, this is a bitter sweet glimpse in to 'life as you want to live it'. WARNING!!!Grab your tissues now! It's a heart-breaker!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a chick flick, 8 Sep 2004
By Keira (London) - See all my reviews
As far as titles in the "chick flick" genre go, this film is a lot more deep and meaningful than others. Casting Keanu Reeves (Nelson) and Charlize Theron (Sarah) as the leading characters was a stroke of genius, providing welcome eye candy for all viewers and brilliant acting skills to boot.

While some people may complain that Keanu's acting appears wooden in efforts such as this, I would tend to disagree. He not only plays the distanced workaholic to perfection at the beginning of the film, but develops the character into an amusing, warm, reawakened and happy individual as it progresses. He has been partnered with Charlize Theron for the second time since The Devil's Advocate - when you have found a winning casting combination, why change?

Charlize is stunning as ever, injecting a certain light and enthusiasm into the title from the start.

The soundtrack of this film is just beautiful and includes the haunting tune "Only Time" by Enya.

City slicker Nelson (Reeves) is so busy thinking about his career and achievements that he neglects to focus his energies on his personal life. A chance meeting with the unconventional Sarah (Theron), who invites him to spend the month of November living with her in her tiny apartment so she can "help" him, sends him on the path towards true love and personal fullfilment.
