Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Instant Favorite.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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.

I've heard this didn't get the best reviews and I'm puzzled... Honestly, this is one of the greatest movies I've ever watched. It's not just some sappy love story. It's a story about learning to live, the little things that give our lives meaning. And it gives us a good look at a very touchy subject, that being terminal illness and how those facing it as well as how their loved ones deal with death, which is just as important as how we face life. Now, I'm not one that cries at movies. There are very few that can bring a few tears to my eyes. "Sweet November" had me literally SOBBING uncontrollably for the last 10-15 minutes of the movie. I still cry and I've seen it more than a dozen times. Never in my life have I seen a movie so moving. It caught me off guard. I can't give props to any of the actors specifically as they all did a phenomenal job telling this tale. I've never found Keanu Reeves as being the type of actor to play emotional roles, he normally seems a bit stoic and those are the roles that best suit him. But I have to say, he surprised me in this movie. It's a must see!

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.

Keanu Reeves is what every man dreams of being: successful, good-looking, in good health, in shape, with money, with a good job, with a nice apartment. This movie then tries to make viewers believe--as ridiculous as this may sound--that this is not enough. That Reeves' character is somehow not only NOT what he seems to be (a successful man) but that he is somehow lonely. Dissatisfied. That he suffers from the pathology of being too "normal."The solution?This stable guy is just so sick of his good job and good life (boohoo, he's so normal and boring) that, when he meets some weirdo chick whose life is completely out of control and who offers him random sex (for personal, heart-tugging reasons we are to discover later), he gets sucked into her world. And what a world it is!Chaos, instability, insanity, sexual deviants, homosexuals, cross dressers (who can also run successful companies too, didn't you know), and eventually they just, you know, like...touch his heart and make him a not so uptight guy, but an enlightened '90s skirtboy; the kind of superior man who has dinner with his insane girlfriend and her pervert neighbours and doesn't even bat an eyelash at the freakishness surrounding him.Without meaning to give away the plot, the reason for the woman offering him random sex is a clever plot device to make the mentally ill liberal world she represents immune to reproach. It tricks gullible viewers into feeling that putting down sick left-wing extremist liberal TRASH makes the viewer himself morally suspect. Nice touch.This movie is a pathetic piece of turd scrap. Cultural Marxist propaganda of the most revolting sort.
