Extra-thick vanilla schmalted with just the right amount of raw sugar to summon the awwwws of high school girls.

Should have been called Cloying November.

Who on earth could resist Charlize Theron? Well, if she's imitating Sandy Dennis, it's not all that hard.

If Sweet November were a valentine, it would end up in the dead-letter office.

There's just too much fantasy here to swallow or take seriously.
