Storyline: Nelson (Keanu Reeves) is a high-flying, cold, way-too-confident advertising executive who bumps into the free spirited Sara (Charlize Theron) in a DMV test. Sara judges Nelson as an overworked jerk offers him to stay with her for a month as her ‘November’, to teach him the ‘lesser’ lessons in life. Although reluctant initially, Nelson is pestered into living with Sara after losing a campaign, his job and his wife in a fit of rage. Gradually Nelson begins to fall for Sara, but unlike her other ‘months’, Sara falls for ‘November’ Nelson too. A startling discovery changes everything that Nelson had begun to believe in, and everything Sara stood for.
Will this ‘Sweet’ November last, or will it wither away like the pages of a calendar? What lessons life has in store for Nelson, and Sara as well? Can love and sacrifice coexist, or love and success dwell together?
Go watch the movie for the answers..

Climax Handling: The climax is beautiful, tearful and thought-provoking.

Points: Charlize Theron stands out and so does the use of myriad colors and characters, in this story which deserved better treatment

Rating: 7/10

Comment: A good movie for the love-lorn and the still-in-love both, a must however for overworked, self-obsessed people who are too occupied to discover life!
