Enough is the kind of movie that I guess was supposed to be Jennifer Lopez' "serious" film. In it she plays a battered wife named "Slim", who proceeds to flee with her child in order to start a new life. Of course what ensues is a sort of cat and mouse game that involves a few other minute characters like Juliette Lewis and some other "regular" actor whose name I can't recall at the moment. Anyway, I really didn't buy any of this story. From the opening diner scene all the way to the BIG CLIMAX, I felt like the acting was just under par. The big fight scene between Slim and her abusive husband is certainly entertaining, but no believable at all. The are a few holes in the plot that just seem really obvious, like the ease with which Slim was able to memorize every piece of footspace in her husband's new condo. Juliette Lewis plays her best friend whom she used to work with at the diner. Juliette and Jennifer have virtually no chemistry onscreen. And their little "piece of cake"/ "piece of pie" inside joke references seemed a little contrived for such a fluffy film. This is a movie that you might want to watch if you're EXTREMELY bored. It's the kind of DVD you pop in while you're doing other things--because there aren't too many memorable scenes in this one.
