 SPLICEDwire | "Sweet November" review (2001)
"Sweet November" may be a work of romantic hokum about a savage power-yuppie who learns to slow down and discover love in the arms of a quirky, perky girl with a tragic secret -- but as such sappy movies go, this is one that hits all the right notes.
Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron proved they have couples chemistry as husband and wife in "The Devil's Advocate." Here they do the opposites-attract thing with great success and use their charisma to overcome what by all rights should be a script full of romantic clichés.
"Sweet November" (which, by the way, is a remake of a 1968 movie of the same name) may have an obvious story arc.

 Review: Sweet November (2001)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Let me begin by admitting that, although I have seen the original Sweet November (which was released in 1968), it has been more than a decade since I sat in front of a TV to watch it, and my recollections are dim at best.
Sweet November is a bad idea brought to life on the big screen.
Sweet November is an especially unpalatable example, because the manipulation is inept.

 Sweet November Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
Based on the 1968 film of the same name, "Sweet November" is the story of a quirky and free-spirited San Franciscan named Sara Deever (Theron) who invites a different man to live with her every month in order to 'help' them-- 'long enough to be meaningful, but short enough to stay out of trouble'.
Like the 1968 predecessor, the story of "Sweet November" is terribly contrived as it implausibly brings its two romantic leads together and then tries to ante the emotional quotient with a cliché plot twist straight out of "Autumn in New York".
This 'artificial sweetness' is further exacerbated by the lack of chemistry between the two leads, as well as the limited dramatic range of Reeves, whose stilted and insincere line recitals border on the abrasive.

 Sweet November (2001): Reviews
The sweetest thing about Sweet November (a remake of the 1968 movie) is the on-screen magic between Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves.
A contrived but entirely workable premise is given a well-tooled treatment in Sweet November, a femme-slanted doomed romance with a heavily calculated feel to it.
November is when we eat turkey, and Sweet November is pretty much a fat, juicy gobbler passed off as Valentine's Day date bait.

 Sweet November (2001) - Ninth Symphony Films Review
But that is not the case with Sweet November, Keanu's latest outing with Charlize Theron.The pair made their first film together a few years ago with The Devil's Advocate, though that film was an more successful endeavor.
And although Sweet November has a decent supporting cast, this film is nothing short of laughable in many areas.
Sweet November would be more aptly described as a gelatinous mass that covers the entire screen with weepy and soggy melodrama that would definitely benefit from a wringing out.

 Sweet November
"Sweet November" has more in common with last year's ill-fated (if you'll pardon the expression!) "Autumn in New York" than it does with the original 1968 Sandy Dennis movie that inspired it.
There's no doubt that his best films are the ones where he doesn't have to act too much (witness "The Matrix" and "Speed"), but with a film as emotionally rooted as "Sweet November," he just doesn't have the acting chops to nail the heart on the board and bring it all together.
As with 1997's "The Devil's Advocate," Theron and Reeves certainly look good together, but "Sweet November" is far from being the effective tear-jerker that it set out to be.

 Sweet November
The film opens with a shot of a naked Nelson getting up out of bed with his current live-in girlfriend (her bare backside is shown before she dons panties and a bra).
Sweet November succeeds in communicating the idea that a cold, ruthless, soulless existence is no way to live.
Neither has any clue of what true love is. I have to ruin part of the ending here and deal with the way Sara and Nelson give up the possibility of lifelong "true love" in favor of keeping the memory of early passions untarnished.

 Amazon.com: Sweet November (1968) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Like Somewhere in Time on a modest scale, Sweet November was a well-kept secret among hopeless romantics until a remake in 2001 (starring Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron) made it ripe for rediscovery.
Rarely have sweet schmaltz and tear-jerking melodrama been so delicately employed, and the whole thing would be utterly ridiculous if it weren't for the delightful casting of Sandy Dennis and Anthony Newley--both at the height of their popularity, and both irresistible in their fairy-tale roles.
It is impossible not to weep when Charlie so desperately wants Sweet November to stay, to capture the fleeting time, and to make a calander with only that month forever on it, caught in amber.
