About this movie

Nelson is a man devoted to his advertising career in San Francisco. One day, while taking a driving test at the DMV, he meets Sara. She is very different from the other women in his life. Nelson causes her to miss out on taking the test and later that day she tracks him down. One thing leads to another and Nelson ends up living with her through a November that will change his life forever. 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.

Ratings and reviews

A lousy movie that stole scenes from "Pretty Woman" (bathtub scene, etc.). Lousy acting. Boring. Yes sad at the end but a stupid story.

A woman who is living her last days, gets into a relationship with people who are workaholics. Trying to get them to see, there's more to life than money and jobs.

A wonderful movie that everyone should see. Then try & live it. Keanu and Charlize are superb in enacting something we should all thrive to accomplish in life. To love our life, ourselves & realize that this life is short, fleeting & to not be happy in this life is a tragedy. Realize what is important in life & strive to achieve a life to be remembered. Be the best person, the best of yourself. It is the simplest things in life that we should strive for. To love unconditionally, deeply & totally
