Sweet November (2001)

Oh please! No more Love stories ending with an uncurable disease!
I first saw this movie when it first came out with a friend--she had free tickets--I am very glad she did, because after watching it, I am glad I did not pay $10.00 bucks to see this movie. Okay, being a sucker for romances, I decided to watch it again.....

First, I would like to say, I love, love Charlize Theron as an actor, she is excellent, when placed in the right roles and her agent is not on some kind of "let's make a quick buck, fix!" But hey, she did make Mr. Reeves look good, okay not really.

But Keanu Reeves in a romances is like someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard, HUH! actually he is just an awfully, awful actor, it's like watching a robot trying to have emotions, especially in an romantic movie. Keanu is better in movies that does not require using the human heart to express emotions!

Now on to the Scenes in the Sweet November. I'm from SF and know for certain, at least I am 99.9% certain that you cannot walk out of your house in Potrero Hill and 5 minutes later be scrolling down Dolores Park, eating an ice cream cone, nor can you be in Chinatown with one skip and a hop from Potrero Hill. Unless you have a car or you have a very special route from Potrero to Dolores Park to Chinatown, in which case could someone please let me Know! Just had to mention this, because it really bugged me....

But hey, this is hollywood and I guess they figured us folks in the Bay Area would not catch this one.

Basically, if the acting on Keanu's part had been believable, heartfelt and real, I would have enjoyed this movie more. Plus, what is up with the Movies about dying woman, with some unknown disease!

Sweet november (not Spanish Subtitled)
I liked the expedited serviced, but what I didnt like was that this movie wasn't well described in all of their features. I ordered the movie as a gift for someone else, hoping that it included subtitles in Spanish, but that wasn't specified in the general review at Amazon's (in fact, it didn't specified what the languajes of the subtitles were, as all of the movies reviewed at Amazon's).

I really would like to know, for future purchases, that the movies listed were rated at all of their features, specifically of the languajes of their subtitles.

I LOVE IT, THINK YOU WILL TOO!
This movie has a sweetness and softness that I love but it still has some laughs and irony. It is a nice mixture which also includes tears and as a whole it is a movie that I do recommend. Romanticism is definitely the main ingredient. Charlize Theron has a wonderful portrayal, not usual with her.
