This
romantic melodrama reunites
The Devil's Advocate (1997) co-stars
Keanu Reeves and
Charlize Theron, and is directed by Irish filmmaker
Pat O'Connor (
Circle of Friends).
Sara Deever (
Theron) is a beautiful young woman who begins a new romantic relationship with a man each month, then helps him to evolve into a better and kinder human being before she moves on to the next partner. Although she's remained friendly with some of her former lovers, she's never broken her one-month rule. November's candidate is a particularly heartless business exec named
Nelson Moss (
Reeves), who takes a while to come around. Once he does, however,
Nelson falls deeply in love, hoping to woo
Sara for good; eventually, her resolve weakens. What
Nelson doesn't know is the tragic secret behind the brevity of
Sara's romances. A remake of a 1968
Sandy Dennis film by the same name, this contemporary version of
Sweet November is less comedic and emphasizes more of its story's tearjerker qualities than the original.
