DVD Synopsis

This romantic melodrama reunites The Devil's Advocate (1997) co-stars Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron, and is directed by Irish filmmaker Pat O'Connor (Circle of Friends). Sara Deever (Theron) is a beautiful young woman who begins a new romantic relationship with a man each month, then helps him to evolve into a better and kinder human being before she moves on to the next partner. Although she's remained friendly with some of her former lovers, she's never broken her one-month rule. November's candidate is a particularly heartless business exec named Nelson Moss (Reeves), who takes a while to come around. Once he does, however, Nelson falls deeply in love, hoping to woo Sara for good; eventually, her resolve weakens. What Nelson doesn't know is the tragic secret behind the brevity of Sara's romances. A remake of a 1968 Sandy Dennis film by the same name, this contemporary version of Sweet November is less comedic and emphasizes more of its story's tearjerker qualities than the original. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Pat O'Connor's remake of Sweet November comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. Supplemental materials include a making-of featurette, the theatrical trailer, and profiles of the cast including Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron. This disc looks and sounds great and is a fine release from Warner Bros. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

I actually love this movie, it's not an "everyone lives happily ever afer" movie as some of you have noted, but the message lies in finding awareness of what the important things in life are. It is a "gotta have a box of tissues" movie, and sometimes, that's just what I want to watch. It reminds me that my life isn't as bad as it sometimes seems.
I recommend everyone watch this at least once and make up your own mind.

I was very disappointed with this movie. The storyline of the movie was depressing and boring. I kept thinking that the movie would get better but it never did.

I found this movie to be depressing, not something I would want to watch again.
