Nelson Moss (Keanu Reeves) and Sara Deever (Charlize Theron) have nothing in common except an hour spent in DMV hell. Intrigued by each other, but not quite ready to commit, they settle on a rather unconventional courtship: a one-month trial, after which they'll go their separate ways. No expectations. No pressure. No strings attached. What neither of them counts on is falling in love.

Critics Consensus

Schmaltzy and manipulative, Sweet November suffers from an implausible plot and non-existent chemistry between its leads.

Wall Street Journal

Reeves gets the cloddishness right. In a regression from his good performance in The Gift, he keeps waving his arms like a cop directing traffic.

Any movie in which a dying person dons a rainbow-colored fright wig is in serious trouble. But if it also stars Keanu Reeves, well, welcome to the 10-worst list.

Pat O'Connor's emotional drama is disappointingly contrived, and while Charlize Theron is decentm Keanu Reeves seems to be lost

Although this movie is old I got to watch it because I’ve been binge watching every movie with Keanu reeves in it. The movie was very good I loved the plot twist and the slow simmer of it all, the characters were written good and it’s a good movie to cry to. I really recommend it.

While the movie is a sugarcoated romance I deeply feel that this movie is made in such a way that it feels one dimensional, i have no doubt that this was meant to be exactly like that. The charachter that Charlize Theron portaits is enjoying her moment in the now, while she is ignoring any negative aspect in her life, its the only way possible to enjoy that life, those beautiful moments, in a bubble. To my opinion this movie is highly underrated and is a masterpiece, but only once you understand that deeper essence of this magnificent movie you will understand that.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's obvious Rotten Tomato critics are 85% Liberals. Yes, that is an accurate assessment.
