Sweet November (DVD)

I remember going to see this film in the cinema years ago as i had seen a trailer for it one day on the tv and thought that it looked quite good. I am a real girly girl and love chick flicks so thought that i would give this film a go. If you have never seen Sweet November, it is an American romantic drama that hit our screens in 2001. It is directed by Pat O'Connor and is 119 minutes long altogether. It has a brilliant cast including Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron and Greg Germann.

I would love to be able to tell you that 'Sweet November' is the sweet, charming romantic feel-good film which we all want it to be.

Those of you who have been keeping up with my reviews (shame on those who haven’t) will know that I have been travelling lately and catching up on movies that I have missed. Well here comes another one of those “ fell asleep the first time” reviews. I was on my way to Australia last year with the lovely Ann and began to watch Sweet November. Yet again, exhaustion overtook me and I never got to see the ending. I put it on my list and decided to get the video when it came out. As luck would have it the movie is featuring on HBO this month and I was able to watch it from the comfort of my hotel bed. For those of you who have not encountered ...  Read the complete review
