Sweet November (2001)
Nothing like the original
This remake was an embarrassment. The film was weak in character and the female lead (Charlise Theron as Sara Deever) was great but written weak. As for her counter part Keaneau Reeves, I don't buy him as any romantic lead, except maybe in My Own Private Idaho. This film was a complete let down, they never even used the Poem"Sweet November" and the male character was no Charlie Blake! They should have left this one alone. The original is unique in it's own right.
Sweet November (1968)
A heartfelt romance
This film has so much heart. Charlie Blake is transformed from inside out into a lovable man by the eccentric and kookie Sara Deever. He learns life isn't about boxes 4 sides and dull His habits are conquered as he learns not to race thru like "hurry, hurry ding, ding". Sara is the woman of the future taking on her projects (men) each month another. All to forget what might be her sadest secret. There is a beautiful poem to the film with the same title and it is the closing song as well. I found this little gem of a film on the telly one night several years ago when I could no longer sleep. It is rather simple, unique and quippy. If you have a chance to catch it, it will be worth your while!
