Keanu Reeves -- misunderstood
or made of plastic? This movie offers a few clues
to the mystery, but no definitive answer. I'm leaning towards plastic.
Call up Mattel, perhaps they can use a new boyfriend for Barbie. Hey, he's got the looks.
No
major complaints about Charlize Theron, either. I don't know what it is about me and movie-starlet hairstyles
lately, but I loved her 'do in this movie
(note: movie, not film). She did what she could with the story,
and she is likeable in an inherent
way. Her character's actions, however, are like
a little bug walking all over your freshly unwrapped piece of candy.
As the
title promises, "Sweet November" offers some moments that are,
well, sweet. Unfortunately,
they are surrounded by a world of utter frustration.
KR: "You're
weird."
CT: "I want to help you
be weird like me...you can befriend my latchkey-kid neighbor
and my other neighbor, the transvestite."
KR: "OK, I love
you."
CT: "I love you too.
Goodbye forever."
KR: "Goodbye
forever."
That's
pretty much how it goes. Weirdness is fine with me, in fact I
search for it, but it's not enough to
make a movie good. That goes double when the main
constituent of said weirdo's weirdness is her affinity for the same scarf, which she wears in about ten
different colors.
To quote
the ever-insightful brothers Hanson: "Where's the love?"
Don't ask me, I was too busy trying
to answer the question "Why?"
