Show UlilMlltilMrtimiUHi THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2001 THE SUN L Sweet November is a terrific romantic drama By Carjly Cash Feature Editor jcash37email msn com Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves star in the hopelessly romantic chick flick, Sweet November. This PG-1- 3 film tells story of Sara (Theron) and Nelson (Reeves); two seemingly opposite personalities who end up spending a painful hour at the D.M.V. together. Sara is fun spirited, while Nelson is a workaholic executive. They appear to be a wrong fit from the start, but as they say, opposites attract. Intrigued by each other, the pair decides upon an informal trial relationship, consisting of a one month courtship, no strings attached. The tears begin to spill as the couple finds the one thing they didnt expect to find: love. However, the sugar sweet relationship goes on trial when the couple is hit with hard times. Will Sara and Nelson survive? Despite some tactless remarks from Keanu Reeves and a few slow moments, Sweet November takes sappy romance to new levels and puts love to the ultimate test. So leave the boyfriend home, grab the girls, a box of tissues and check out quite possibly one of this years best romantic dramas, Sweet November. the looking glass: Through A collection of bizarre news stories By Tribune Media Services A LITTLE SNOW WONT STOP ME: Undeterred by a major snowstorm that hit Nebraska, a man in dire need of a drink stole a snowplow from a storage facility in Hastings and drove it 20 miles to a liquor store where he bought a case of beer.
