What critics compared Sweet November to
While Sweet November is actually a remake of a 1968 film, it plays more like a two-hour episode of that oh-so-quirky-but-loveable TV show Dharma and Greg.
A remake of a 1968 Sandy Dennis tearjerker that no one really remembers (and for good reason), Sweet November is a grotesquely maudlin bit of unforgivable tripe that has as its only surprise the shocking fact that it was directed by Pat O'Connor (Circle of Friends) and not Nora Ephron or Chris Columbus.
A remake of the same-titled 1968 film starring Sandy Dennis and Anthony Newley, "Sweet November" meanders for much of its length, yet never so much that it doesn't have time to recover for an excellent final half-hour.
Let me begin by admitting that, although I have seen the original Sweet November (which was released in 1968), it has been more than a decade since I sat in front of a TV to watch it, and my recollections are dim at best.
"Sweet November" is a remake of the 1968 drama starring Anthony Newley and Sandy Dennis, though the location (originally Greenwich Village) and at least one character have been changed.
