Anyone in the market for a bittersweet romantic comedy could do worse. Read full review

Village VoiceMichael Atkinson
If the movie works on its own insipid level, it's because of high-gear star power -- 50 times the captivator Dennis ever was, Theron is terrific at creating adorable intimacy with little help from the script or director and exudes more guileless élan than any of the film's many puppies.

SlateDavid Edelstein
He's (Reeves) not as good as he was playing a menacing Georgia wife-beater in The Gift, but he's an awfully convincing jerk. Read full review

The sort of movie that seems to exist for no good reason except to keep the studio's pipeline filled with filmed product.

Does neither of its leads any favors. But they fill their roles admirably, and then some. Time and again, in a movie that repeatedly threatens mawkishness, you can sense them gently steering away just in the nick of time. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
It's all corny and contrived and usually sensitive. The filmmakers even dare to show the effects of illness--a subject frequently glamorized to the point of being insulting--in a love scene of rare honesty. Read full review

VarietyTodd McCarthy
A contrived but entirely workable premise is given a well-tooled treatment in Sweet November, a femme-slanted doomed romance with a heavily calculated feel to it. Read full review
