I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

She Just Needed A Month To Change His Life For Ever. Very good movie and great acting from Keanu and Theron. The story is very original, romantic and melancholic. "The meaning of life, is to give life meaning." I think that is the message of this movie. Too many times people get wrapped up in stuff and glitz and all technology and everything else we have in this life that we forget that in the end... all we have is each other. For romantic suckers this is a must see movie, enjoy! 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.

Yes the movie discusses somewhat 'normal' story-line. But the presentation made it different. Kudos to the director, editor and the actors. It shares situations like a fairy tale.surely romance is the only thing that you can make you unreal. eyes talk a lot. even the pets have a role to prove the existence of love. illogical world of love is there always. at some point the character has to ask "have you been in sales?". what a dodging which is normally cannot be fit in romancing movies. but factually it is always there in real romance. power of eyes. what else.Being a pro, those 'professional values' to 'life values' made me to think. Time, dollar all have been touched nicely. even the way things are being presented in career are nicely portrayed. And how badly a professional confidence is disproved. there comes the different dimensions of pro and love. Love which is not mixed with $ or time can have a lot of confidence There are points which will make your eyes wet. its okay. life values are worth for a cry. there could have more connects with his childhood stories. may be then he can find himself in more natural way. also the obvious skin tone changes must have made more gradual. am i missed it? is that really great? !! anyway I think the dark circles could have lighten. slow means more natural.So briefly, good romance. good ending. good course for 'professionals' from 'life'. Kudos to the creators

I haven't seen this movie in along time but I do remember most of it.The film stars Keanu Reeves who meets a young woman named Sara(played by Charlize Theron) who is working on a project about men where she would date them and then break up with them. So Sara ends up falling for Nelson(Reeves)and they live together all through the month of November. But Sara of course is hiding a terrible secret....and like in almost every Nicholas Sparks movies(seriously this film should have been created by him)as get this Sara is dying of cancer and that is why she breaks up with men as Keanu's charcther spots her taking pills and he had no idea that she was dying of cancer. So will Nelson help Sara with her illness.Bottom line like I have said I haven't seen this movie in years and I just thought I write a short review on it. I always like Keanu Reeves since Speed so it was nice to see him star in a tearjerker like this. Whenever its on TV again I will check it out if its on a early time.

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.
