Sweet November (2001)

One month?! Nah! I can't eat just one slice of cheesecake or just one bag of organic sour beans. I have to have more than one month! At the end, In real life, the dude would've said "You're going to have to kill me. I'm not leaving." She said he should live a life. Dying is a part of life. Great movie. Very painful to watch. Charlize is easy to love. I was crying a lot. I'm a dude. I was alone. I bet The dude ended up working at the same firm as his competitor. I want to be like Keanu Reeves. Great actor and is able to keep a low profile in private life. That's rare. I envy that self control. Great Film.

I think she was just a playful fake woman. And I feel really sorry for Nelson. He was just an innocent victim ''or one of her victims''. But anyway this story is a perfect description for a relationship between a playful ENFP woman with a honest INTJ guy .. Ps: INTJ and ENFP are 2 types from the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types (MBTI).

Nelson is consumed by his career and leads a shallow and materialistic life. But then he meets Sara, an "alternative" woman who takes on a new man every month, using sex and fortune cookie philosophy to change their perspective on life. Will Nelson change and turn into a peace loving vegan? Will Sara finally keep a man for longer than a month?Tired cliché after tired cliché makes Sweet November the worst movie I've watched in a good long while. Here you are enlightened and told that money cannot buy happiness, you should - every once in awhile - slow down and smell the roses, people are more important than your career, cross dressers are people too and - wait for it - women like foreplay. Shocker! One positive though. Usually, Keanu's acting is the worst thing about any movie he's in. In Sweet November he fits right in.

After browsing through critic reviews, and seeing the low 6.6/10 stars at first glance, I was starting to think this movie would be a failure and that Keanu Reeves might disappoint me for the first time after all the amazing movies I've seen of his.This movie is one I watched along with many other heartfelt romance movies (you know, the kind that ties your heart into knots and all you can do is cry and suck your thumb), them being A Walk to Remember (2002), The Lake House (2006), The Fault in Our Stars (2014), and of course, Sweet November (2001), with Sweet November topping the list.I've got to admit, the beginning was a little funky and not exactly promising, but it gets warmer and warmer just like the colors of the leaves in November. Keanu once again gets together with Charlize after their previous project Devil's Advocate (1997) and play a lovely couple. The smooth transition, yet maintaining its' eccentric, staccato, little surprises of the main character Nelson, a fatherly, manly, and full of potential character, teaches the valuable lesson also taught in other romance films. The lesson and art of being able to wait, and being able to let go. Every type of romance film in this area expresses it differently, this was a full on bittersweet tale with two lovers, both with great character and very diverse personalities (hey, opposites attract)I was drowning in tears like I've never drowned before (well I haven't, but... yeah) because Keanu is born with the natural gift of portraying a loving gentleman, with many different variations of course, but this film is when he uses his gift to its extremity.The beauty and romance of this film is truly unbearable. Be sure to have a mountain of tissues... maybe an 5 inches smaller than Mt. Everest height. It ties your heart into knots, and teaches you lessons that have never occurred to you before, and shows you how much you really care about things you never thought of as cared for before.
