Starring: Charlize Theron, Keanu Reeves

Summary: Nelson (Reeves) and Sara (Theron) have nothing in common except an hour spent in DMV hell. Intrigued by each other, but not quite ready to commit, they settle on a rather unconventional courtship: a one-month trial, after which they'll go their separate ways. No expectations. No pressure. No strings attached. What neither of them counts onNelson (Reeves) and Sara (Theron) have nothing in common except an hour spent in DMV hell.

Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle

Neither a masterpiece nor a remake of one, but its wistfulness is infectious, and its melancholy mood lingers for days. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold

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

New York Post - Lou Lumenick

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

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas

A film that means to be seductive but merely progresses from the contrived to the manipulative. Read full review

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert

Passes off pathological behavior as romantic bliss. It's about two sick and twisted people playing mind games and calling it love. Read full review

Miami Herald - Curtis Morgan

The enigma of Reeves, sort of a human black hole on screen, works well in "The Matrix" but it drains the life from weepy romance. Read full review

Washington Post - Stephen Hunter

Shamelessly manipulative in a crude, bullying way. Read full review

The movie was ok, not something I would admire nor would recommend someone to watch.well, I felt Reeves overacted in few sections though he is a good actor.I could not digest series of events that followed since their first encounter. It was totally Illogical.

Yes,it had emotions,but movie lacked balance of emotions and drama.Well, Nelson Moss (Keanu Reeves) should have called the police when Sara Deever (Charlize Theron) was irritating him.… Expand

This is one of the best movie ever written and acted. You may not like it but it is the best movie for any "Human" being. Before anything else we are human beings. so being Human is being"with " love. always giving always caring always forgiving, No demanding etc etc. rest is the movie.

I think director spoiled it due to time limitation....Love infact does not know time. etc etc.....anyway take care and love you.… Expand

After looking through "professional" critic reviews, I finally understood why I like Chicago Tribune so much over other periodicals. The thing is that those guys at CT do have hearts and do understand that there is more to life than what you expect in an average, credit-backed, bubble-life.

Great, great, great. I liked the beginning-it was needed to appreciate the ending.
