Such an amazing movie, great story but what makes it so great is James Gandolfini and the way he made you feel about the storyline, the character he was playing... he made it all feel so real, and you just feel every emotion that the character is feeling. One of the best actors. Cried so much at the end because he has left us too soon. Rest in peace beautiful soul and thank you.

What is it about American movies? Ten minutes into this movie, I knew it was directed by a woman. Female directors of Hollywood comedy/dramas don't seem to understand that if this is your target audience, it should by definition contain some semblance of both comedy and drama maybe?A one and a half hour movie should contain more than purely the 'emotions' of the characters involved. Things like an interesting story-line maybe, or snappy dialogue, quirky characters or a sub-plot? There were maybe three lines of dialogue in this movie which could be classed as mildly humorous, and ditto for the 'drama' content. The rest was just fluff.Toni Collette is a very watchable actress as evidenced in movies like 'About a Boy' and 'Little Miss Sunshine', but here she struggled like the rest of the cast. A dialogue driven movie should have good dialogue....and yes I do recognise good dialogue...from 'His Girl Friday' to 'The Sunshine Boys' to 'Sideways' and many more.James Gandolfini is the only reason I'd give this movie more than a three. In spite of the story-line and script, he manages to transcend those limitations to create a character of warmth and vulnerability.Another reviewer waxed lyrical about this being a fitting end to James Gandolfini's career.....They're wrong because it wasn't this touchy-feely mess thankfully! His last movie was 'The Drop', an excellent movie and a fitting finale to a fine actor.

There are a number of key components that make a script or movie appealing. This movie was missing perhaps the most important element. If there isn't at least one character likable enough to make the watcher interested in finding out what happens to them, then what's the point of continuing watching.This movie not only didn't have a single stand out character, but it contained an endless series of painful emotional scenes, followed by a ho hum ending. The divorcée, who the movie centered around, behaved poorly consistently throughout the core of the movie. She possessed inadequate personal charm or redeeming characteristics to make the watcher want to forgive her poor choices.We watched it because of the ratings it received and a recommendation.When it finally, painfully, ended, we felt that we had more than wasted our time.Obviously, people who enjoy this sort of time filler are fundamentally different than us.

As a young man, I love my romantic comedies to be raucous and sex-crazy, but however I do like my mature romantic comedies every once in awhile and Enough Said is well-suited for that category. Not only I became interested due to the hype, this is James Gandolfini's second-to-last-role, which he completely nailed. The movie reaches sitcom territory at times, but the movie is undeniably charming and even bittersweet. The dialog feels very natural and the chemistry between the two main leads is through the roof.This film is essentially about two middle-aged people falling in love. There is Eva who is divorced and is worried about sending her only child away to college. Then there is the like-minded Albert who is a little round, but seems to be a very laidback gentleman. When Eva becomes a masseuse and a friend of Albert's ex-wife, Eva begins to question her decisions.The acting is unquestionably fantastic. Julia-Louis Dreyfus really need more film roles because she killed it as the quirky Eva who is trying to find some love. James Gandolfini plays a man outside of his type. Instead of a toughened, gangster-like character, his character is more likable and more curmudgeonly. Toni Collette does a good job as Eva's friend and Catherine Keener delivers a fine performance as Albert's ex-wife who always complains to Eva about him.Overall, Enough Said is a charming and surprisingly original entry in the field of romantic comedies. A rom com that is universally loved is a rare sight and this film happens to be one. It's charming, poignant, and even bittersweet. The realistic feeling and natural dialog is also what further enhances the film. I was checking out this film mainly because of James Gandolfini, but I'm glad I was able to watch this beautiful film about middle-aged romance. I rate this film 9/10.
