Top CriticExtra-thick vanilla schmalted with just the right amount of raw sugar to summon the awwwws of high school girls.

Top CriticShould have been called Cloying November.
02/20/01
Top CriticWho on earth could resist Charlize Theron? Well, if she's imitating Sandy Dennis, it's not all that hard.

Top CriticIf Sweet November were a valentine, it would end up in the dead-letter office.

Top CriticO'Connor shamelessly lays on the schmaltz and cliches.

Top CriticBeware all male viewers who enter here, you are in chick-movie hell.

Top CriticIt nearly qualifies as a guilty pleasure. But blame Keanu Reeves for ruining its chances for so- bad- it's- good status.
02/16/01
Top CriticTo quote Reeves when Theron tries to bolt suddenly from his car: 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA!'

Top CriticSweet November is neither a masterpiece nor a remake of one, but its wistfulness is infectious, and its melancholy mood lingers for days.
02/16/01
Top CriticSweet November does neither of its leads any favors. But they fill their roles admirably, and then some.
02/16/01
Top CriticDumb enough to make The Wedding Planner seem like an Ingmar Bergman film.
02/16/01
Top CriticDefies all comprehension.
02/16/01
Top CriticThe sort of movie that seems to exist for no good reason except to keep the studio's pipeline filled with filmed product.
02/16/01
Top CriticThis is a film that means to be seductive but merely progresses from the contrived to the manipulative.
02/16/01
Top CriticIf the women's movement meant anything, it should mean no more movies like this one.
02/16/01
Top Critic"What are you doing that for?" he asks as she undoes his top button. "Taking it off. It smells like puppy pee." That's a metaphor for the evening's experience.
02/16/01
Top CriticA guilty pleasure for more than a few ticket buyers who rarely get a chance to indulge their weakness for this sort of story.
02/16/01
Top CriticEvery once in a while, a movie comes along that reminds you how wonderful life can be. Unfortunately, Sweet November does this by reminding you how terrible a movie can be.
