AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

how-64844 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.

Tammy Fitzgerald 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.

Python Hyena Sweet November (2001): Dir: Pat O'Connor / Cast: Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, Jason Isaacs, Liam Aiken, Lauren Graham: Dreary depressing pill romance about that faithful day in November when workaholic Keanu Reeves is forced to live with Charlize Theron for an entire month so that she may change his outlook on life. Soon her illness surfaces leading to a depraved ending. Directed by Pat O'Connor who also made the miserable Inventing the Abbotts. Who did he wrong in order to be stuck with those two awful titles on his resume? The ending is totally predictable so feel free to beat yourself over the head with a bag of rocks. The film also asks an age old question. What is Theron attempting here anyway? She could lug in Jack the Ripper for all she knows. Why doesn't she do a crossword puzzle on the back of a cereal box instead. She plays the biggest stupidest idiot of any romantic film while Reeves plays a complete moron who will predictably come to love this woman rather than pass time by firing darts at pictures of her. Jason Isaacs plays Theron's cross-dressing friend who is there for support. One might say she would need it after starring in trash such as this. This becomes an example as to why males often hate going to date movies because junk like this reduces one's intelligence. Great locations cannot save this pathetic and manipulative snot rag story. Score: 3 / 10

vintkd I don't even remember how many times I have looked this lovely movie and every time I'm experiencing a huge delight and flight of my soul. Charlize Theron is incredibly beautiful woman and startling actress, just to look at her it's already great delectation. "Sweet September" is prettily story about love, about life and cost of its every moment. Someone will think this film too sad, someone too sweet, but for me it's very life-asserting and inspiring story after which you just ready to fall in love to any stranger on the street and it's inexpressible feeling. I have seen a lot of similar films, such as "Autumn in New York", "Griffin & Phoenix", "The Notebook" and others, but in my opinion "Sweet September" is the best. Sara Deever changed my life too!!!
