Summary: If You Like Tear-Jerkers...
Review: If you like sad movies then this is the best one yet. Not only is it one of the saddest movies I've ever seen but also one of the best. It has a little comedy in it and it it almost reminds me of Dharma & Greg except for this is a much more realistic, emotional version. Charlize Theron is fantastic but I dont think Keanu Reeves and her really match up. But, in other matters this is a must-see for anyone who has a tissue box on hand.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: realy sweet!
Review: maybe 5 stars, but before I saw the movie a stupid magazine wrote how it ended. So not cool!
Great acting by Keanu reeves! And don't listen to the bad reviews in magazines, because everybody has his own opinion. If you don't like romantic movies, don't buy this one

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: TOTAL CHIC FLICK!!!!!!!
Review: Why would anyone put themselves through a depressing movie like this?? And why do ALL women love these types of movies?? And I'm giving it one star instead of zero because the chic is HOT!!! My wife loved it though...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A story better left to be...
Review: I have heard a lot about this movie... so I expected a lot from it. Can't say it is not worth watching! It is a very nice movie, the setting is very catchy but I am not sure how can I describe what is missing... maybe I'd call the movie hallow! Maybe the story ought to have been left to be read in a book not acted!

Keanu Reeves & sweet Charlize Theron did a great acting job. Great sound track of course as well as great settings.

Again I must stress that such a story better left to be read than filmed. But still don't miss watching this movie to be the judge of that.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like ---Autumn in SF (San Francisco)------!
Review: Beautiful movie!

And I like Sara's way of Life.
So smart, so cute...
Keanu is acting the same as the "Matrix", however,
I never care it.

You can also enjoy the autumn in S.F!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Surprisingly good romantic goo
Review: For a Keanu Reeves movie this one actually has a lot of heart. Charlize Theron gives an excellent lead performance as a free-spirited young woman who unlocks the guarded heart of a cold and selfish advertising executive (Reeves), getting him to leave his job behind and awaken to his real emotions. She shows him the best parts of life and then goes all terminal illness on us--yup, we've all seen it a thousand times before. The spin here is that Theron's performance is so warmhearted that the lesser moments of the film (like all the scenes involving Liam Aiken, a poster child for planned parenthood if ever I've seen one) maybe won't be forgiven but at least they can be cheerfully ignored. Reeves' performance, unfortunately, is so very wooden even by his standards that his scenes without his leading lady will make you turn green (watch the part where he pitches an account to a hot dog company: it's the clearest case I've ever seen of an actor who has absolutely no idea what the scene is about).

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Sorry: Can't relate to it...
Review: When we got this movie, my initial thought was: "Let's get ready to watch a 'chick-flick'," if you know what I mean. So I set myself in the "Bounce" or "Automn in New York" type-of-mode. For a while, I have to say, it caught my attention, and I was even happy to see Keanu Reeves deliver such a performance (improving on some of his dramatic performances from before). But, I couldn't relate to the concept of the movie as a whole: there's not a clear point as to why she has decided to face life the way she does (this, in my opinion, is one of the biggest flaws of the movie), but worst even, is the incomprehensible ending... I will not ruin it, but believe me: when you're done watching it, you'll go like: "OK... What on earth just happened??"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good movie...worth seeing
Review: I thought this movie was very good, very well done. I am not a big Keanu fan, however, and found him to be out of his league in some parts. By the end of the movie I liked him in it, though. Charlize is a goddess...great for the movie. I have liked her in everything I've seen her in.
I disagree with the person that said this movie was too much like "Autumn in New York", and then proceeded to say that it was better than this movie. I thought "Autumn" was ridiculous from the start and this movie was way more believable. On the other hand, I agree with the person that said that the drag queen neighbors were out in left field and of no use to the story as a subplot. Also, Keanu singing was really dumb too. Besides that, I liked it a lot.
I always try to watch movies with an open mind and see where they take me, and this one moved me more than I was expecting. The theme of celebrating life and not taking it for granted should be emphasized more. I was a bit disappointed that the trailer gave away Sara's illness...if I hadn't known that I probably would have enjoyed the movie more.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Who can tell.......
Review: I have actually watched this film 6 straight times! Because the storyline and performances were so great? NO WAY!! Just the opposite! I watched it so many times so I could see the music credits at the end! I knew that Enia sang a number that the lyrics contained the title of this review. I guess I'll have to stop this review and watch the movie a SEVENTH time, because I still haven't nailed down the title of the song. One thing that Sweet November did accomplish though was that it preempted a 2005 remake of Love Story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's the best movie I ever seen
Review: Well I saw the movie and it was grate and it was really the
best that I saw Keanu Reeves in besides the matrix and speed!!
Also I like movies like this but it was sad at the end and I don't think that it should of ended up like it did. But it had to for the movie I guess that's what made it good!!
