Enough Said (2013)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Such a frustrating disappointment

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I had put off seeing this film for far too long. Initially the trailer looked great, with an amazing cast, and great director. Something just kept me from seeing it all these years. Likely culprit: ROMCOM. After seeing every episode of VEEP, and most of The Sopranos. I finally geared up to watch this film, on HBOgo. But, I failed to do so once again, always thinking I'd put it on when I couldn't decide what else to watch. Failed two times. Now I did finally watch this film, this past week in fact, on a flight. This says nothing to the quality of the film, as it was among some amazing film choices. What does speak to the quality of the film is how engaged I was throughout, on a ten inch screen. The acting and casting in this film is impeccable, to say nothing of the script and direction. I found myself tearing up a few times in fact. I won't bore you more with plot synopsis, except to say how refreshing it was to get a film about second romances, all the while losing the fantasy aspect of most romantic comedies. Having Julia Louis-Dreyfus assuming the "male" character I thought was genius. She and James have great chemistry that builds throughout the film. Everything works in the film, above all the honesty throughout. The title of the film perfectly sums up this review.

I really connected with this movie. It wasn't about two really hot good looking people in their 20's or 30's. Although I don't have children, as they were part of the plot, can relate to not being attracted to anyone. Lol. It gave you a sense of hope and very realistic about life and how other people's perceptions can affect our relationships. Overall it was surprisingly a feel good movie for me. Very realistic!

I was really looking forward to this film, mainly because I really liked director Holofcener's previous efforts, Walking & Talking & Please Give. However this to me came off as a trite, predictable sitcom episode guest-starring Dreyfus & Gandalfino doing their usual shticks. Hahaha.Particularly irritating are Dreyfus's constant mugging & over-acting to every situation in every scene in order,I guess, to please to her fams. Gandolfino mostly shrugs his way through his part, looking bored & maybe even a little embarrassed & never upstaging his co- star but never being very funny, either. This is like a contemporary vesion of those awful Bob Hope comedies they cranked out in the 60s & 70s when the star was far too old for his parts but his routines were still bankable with an ever-gullible public.

Omg, this was the most boring movie that I have seen in a very long time. Nothing happens, it's ridiculous! Thank goodness I saw it for free on HBOgo because I would have been so mad if I had actually paid money to see this unbelievable slow movie. Silly, silly, silly. The main characters are dumb smiling idiots, the one daughter of Eva is so wooden faced, they could have gotten a mannequin that looked more real. I mean this is worse than a high school play. I think that anyone that is entertained by this movie must have a very boring life. Yawn, jeez these two main actors are so above making a movie that says nothing, and I mean "nothing" Watching grass grow would have been more exciting!
