Movie Info
A divorced and single parent, Eva (Julia Louis Dreyfus) spends her days enjoying work as a masseuse but dreading her daughter's impending departure for college. She meets Albert (James Gandolfini) - a sweet, funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest. As their romance quickly blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), her new massage client. Marianne is a beautiful poet who seems "almost perfect" except for one prominent quality: she rags on her ex-husband way too much.

Enough Said is Nicole Holofcener's best yet - it's what we wanted from the new Bridget Jones book, a smart comedy about dating in your 50s.
Top CriticEnough Said is a romantic comedy about hurting the people you love, who you want to love - and making mistakes that may be impossible to recover from.
In the terse space film provides, Holofcener capturing her characters deftly. We know their fears, needs, lonesomeness. We trust the cars they drive, the food they eat, the rooms they keep tidy, or not.
The easy chemistry between Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini is wonderfully charming - you're rooting for them even as the falsehoods pile up and the poison begins to flow.
The jarring shifts between effective drama and failed humor make watching Enough Said a bumpy and sometimes frustrating journey.
For all of us who've been waiting way too long for a smart, funny, snappy romantic comedy for grown-ups - here it is.
The poignant relationship story is a gem.
Enough Said is an adult comedy to savour, a wonderfully sharp and humorous exploration of the muddy path of growing older and looking for love. Gandolfini is great as the reluctant romantic lead, effortlessly sliding from calamity into comedy.
Dreyfus and Gandolfini show there is romance and problems with romance at every age
Just the type of movie fans have come to expect from writer-director Nicole Holofcener, who emerges every few years from the economic security of episodic television to deliver another wry, acutely observed, character-based comedy-drama.
A typically astute and funny reading of the foibles of human relationships, spiced up with a forgivably contrived comedic plot twist.
With a cheeky grin never far from Albert's [James Gandolfini] lips, fellow stars might well find this almost unbearably hard to watch just four months after his death.
Aside from the script's lightness of touch, it's the characters' small quirks and tics that bring the film to such vibrant life.
With a strikingly against-type performance from the late Gandolfini, this film gives the romantic-comedy formula a welcome adult spin.
A superb middle-age rom-com about the need to accept change and the wisdom to resist it.
It is a slight romantic comedy given heft by the excellence of the two leads, and smartly scripted by writer-director Nicole Holofcener.
A delightful, warm-hearted and frequently funny comedy with an emotionally engaging, sharply observed script and a pair of wonderful performances from Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini.
Some films are a cold shower, others a warm bath. Enough Said is mainly a warm bath but bracing morality gives the romantic comedy an anchor in common relationship reality.
Too depressing.
Enough Said is a lovely coda to an actor whose career was cut short to soon.
As Etta James might say: at last. A romantic comedy that is romantic and funny and not simply an insult to the intelligence of all carbon-based life forms.
The joyous thrust of this thoroughly entertaining - and often poignant - comedy thrives on the sparkling chemistry between Gandolfini and Louis-Dreyfus, a romance pitched at that often overlooked demographic - the middle-aged divorcee.
Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini are especially wonderful.
A charming, big-hearted movie and a fitting valediction to a much-mourned actor.
Enough Said is a match made in romantic comedy heaven - heart-warming and frequently hilarious.

That is precisely what Eva tries to do - piece together why her present perception of her ex-husband is so alien compared to her earlier desire to spend the rest of her life and make children with him. After at least a few years of being a single mom and with her daughter about to leave for college, she has started dating again, and she doesn't want to go through another crushing blindside. This film doesn't sugarcoat the resolution, and I greatly appreciate this. There is no guaranteed "happily ever after." Of all things, as our modern life has afforded men and women the choice of independence and individuality, a marriage is now mankind's most delicate creation. The lesson learned in this early relationship is that each person should be accepted and appreciated for their uniqueness - go with the flow, and enjoy the surprise and comedy of it all.
