Drama; starring Charlize Theron, Keanu Reeves, and Frank Langella;
directed by Pat O’Connor
Release Date: February 16 (Warner Bros.)
Yeah, well, October Sky wasn’t released in October, either.
Anyway, in this remake of the 1968 Sandy Dennis dramedy, Sara Deever
(Theron) takes in a different man each month in order to help heal
his emotional wounds. The man of the titular month, Nelson Moss
(Reeves), falls hard for her but eventually discovers the sad secret
behind her brief romances. Interestingly, Theron, who worked with
Reeves on The Devil’s Advocate, chose this quiet, bittersweet
role over the heroine part in the upcoming epic Pearl Harbor.
