Movie Review: Enough Said – Starring James Gandolfini
How many of you went out to see ENOUGH SAID when it was playing in the movie theater? For those who saw it, what did you think about it? Unfortunately, I had just had hip surgery so we didn’t get to see it until now!!!
ENOUGH SAID was just released on blu-ray and DVD on January 14th, 2014 and I was sent a complimentary DVD to review for all of you. I love reviewing movies, so here we go!
This movie stars James Gandolfini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Catherine Keener as they shine in this heartwarming comedy that A.O. Scott of The New York Times calls “a small miracle of a movie.”
Synopsis: Divorced mom Eva (Louis-Dreyfus) may be falling for Albert (Gandolfini), a sweet, funny, like-minded divorcé. But as their relationship blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Keener), who’s always complaining about her ex-husband. When Eva realizes that Albert is the target of Marianne’s rants, she begins to question her own perceptions about first impressions and second chances.
My Thoughts: I admit upfront that I am NOT a huge fan of comedy in any sort of way. With that said, comedy is the genre of movies that my hubby prefers to watch. He is a BIG fan of James Gandolfini’s work so he was super excited to finally sit down and watch this movie with me.
I thought the movie had a “cute” story line but it was similar to some of those I used to read in romance novels back in the day. (I don’t read romance novels any more). James Gandolfini did an excellent job acting in this movie and I was surprised that he did so well in it considering it was comedy and I usually see him playing dramatic roles.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a comedy actress and she shines in those types of roles. However, I am not a fan of hers and didn’t really enjoy her in this movie to be honest with all of you. Hubby had a different opinion and that she was fantastic in the film.
The story line started out a little slow for me but about halfway through it picked up and I got more interested in it. There were a few parts for me that were really funny but there were other parts that I thought were just plain dumb and boring…predictable.
I won’t tell you if the two of them end up together or not as that would be a spoiler and I don’t do spoilers here on our blog. I will tell you that I personally didn’t get into this movie as much as my hubby did. Please remember though, comedy is just not my thing. He is a comedy lover and he gave the movie a big two-thumbs up.
