Summary: J-Lo's best movie yet
Review: This was the best movie I have seen in a long time! I liked how the beginning started off, showing what Slim and Mitch had in the beginning. A picture perfect wedding and life that one could only wish for. ... She learns her husbands fidelity and his abusive behavior. This movie is all about how she needs to get away before her husband really kills her or her child. So she escapes for a little while, but she still cant get past Mitch, he always finds a way to find her, ... So she finally takes matters into her own hands, and gets back at Mitch.

This movie shows how we can all fight back and dont always have to be on the defensive side. I love this movie, and i am going to see it again as soon as I can, I've already read the book in a couple hours and seen the website and watch the scenes about a million times, but thats cause i cant get ENOUGH of this great movie. I understand why it didnt do too well in the box office...you have spider man and star wars coming out 1 or 2 weeks before. ... and of course i will buy the DVD when it comes out, and i hope it's really soon.

Oh yea, I also loved the all star cast. ...

See the movie, it's the best!!!!!!!

Summary: Jennifer Lopez Is THE Lead
Review: What is quality entertainment? Oscar-worthy performances? Long, drawn-out storylines that make the movie last 2.5-3 hours long? Big bombs blowing up thirty cars in row? Sure, most of that is entertaining, but there's something else to be added to that list. Any movie with Jennifer Lopez. Some people - well, a lot of people - will laugh at the opinionated statement, but I thoroughly agree with it. I believe the lady can fulfill the shoes of any lead character and be great at it. And it's seen in her most recent movie, Enough.

Enough is the story about Slim, who marries whom she thinks to be the most perfect man on earth. A couple of years into their relationship, she finds out she was wrong. He begins to beat her and threaten her, while having an affair which she knows about. After finally having "enough", Slim goes on the run with her daughter and the help of some friends.

In addition to my first paragraph up there, I'm not saying that Enough doesn't have its flaws, because it does. First off, the acting. Lopez, Bill Campbell, Dan Futterman, and Noah Wyle were all great. But Juliette Lewis? I dunno, she just didn't seem to fit into the part. It took me a while to get into her character. I also keep seeing her in The Other Sister, so that didn't help me get into her character much either. I'm not stereotyping though. And the little girl who played Gracie, Slim's daughter, was too cute! She annoyed me at first, but after she began to become the humour part of the movie, she grew on me. Another flaw, I believe, were the subtitle like messages that appeared every now and then in the movie. In the beginning, I liked them. They foretold of the upcoming segment of the movie. But at the end, it's just like they disappeared. And oooo, the ending. The showdown between Slim and Mitch (Billy Campbell). The whole movie was worth the ending, which I actually found to be powerful, in relation that Slim actually got to pay back her terrorizing husband for all that he put her and her daughter through.

Enough may be laughable to some, but I found it quiet entertaining and it never bored me. There were even big reactions to some of the things that happened onscreen by people who were in the theatre that I was in. If you're up for a power-chick flick with many surprises, catch Enough.

Summary: Another Mediocre Movie From Another Mediocre Actress
Review: If you saw ``Sleeping With the Enemy,'' you may have seen enough of ``Enough.''

The 1991 movie starred Julia Roberts as the wife of a wealthy, abusive husband who flees her palatial Los Angeles home, moves to a small town in the Midwest, and changes her name and her looks. And yet, he hunts her down and tries to kill her.

``Enough'' stars Jennifer Lopez as the wife of a wealthy, abusive husband who flees her palatial Los Angeles home, moves to a small town in the Midwest, and changes her name and her looks. He hunts her down and tries to kill her, too.

The main variable here is that Lopez's character, Slim, is a mother, and she grabs the couple's young daughter, Gracie (Tessa Allen), on her way out the door.

Say what you will about J.Lo -- that she can't sing, that she's ubiquitous. The woman has an undeniable presence. And watching her transform herself from pampered, betrayed housewife to one-woman wrecking machine makes ``Enough'' function on a visceral, you-go-girl level.

The third act -- in which she exacts her revenge with the elaborate skill of James Bond and the brute strength of Rocky Balboa -- is pretty ridiculous if you stop to think about it. But it's entertaining enough that it almost makes up for the inconsistencies in plot and character development that preceded it.

For a thriller, the movie begins more like a romantic comedy, with Slim and Mitch (Billy Campbell of ``Once and Again'') meeting cute at the diner where she's a waitress, and title cards like ``How they met'' and ``Conquering hero'' connecting their early stages.

In no time, they've fallen in love, gotten married, moved into a beautiful house together and had a baby. Mitch, a contractor, seems like the ideal husband, if a bit distant at times.

Then Slim discovers Mitch is having an affair, and when she confronts him, his personality changes completely. He becomes so cold-hearted and cruel so abruptly, it's difficult to accept -- almost comic.

The script from Nicholas Kazan explains his behavior with vague throwaway lines such as: ``I am and always will be a person who gets what he wants'' and ``If I can't have you, nobody else will.''

Slim cooks up a scheme to escape with the help of Ginny (Juliette Lewis), a waitress at the diner; Phil (Christopher Maher), who's a father figure in the absence of her real dad; and ex-boyfriend Joe (Dan Futterman), who provides refuge at his home in Seattle.

Michael Apted, who directed the most recent Bond movie, ``The World Is Not Enough,'' and another female empowerment movie, ``Coal Miner's Daughter,'' knows how to keep the pace moving during the action sequences. But the midsection of the film -- the cat-and-mouse chase, with its requisite cheap scares -- gets a bit repetitive.

The plot problems pop up as Slim and Gracie move from city to city. For a contractor, Mitch has the computer skills of a sophisticated hacker; he immediately freezes Slim's access to her cash and credit, and he tracks her moves effortlessly, with a squad of thugs in every city available to pounce on her and the little girl.

Mitch even has a police officer buddy at his disposal (``ER's'' Noah Wyle, like Campbell, playing against type) who tries to ram Slim's car from behind, even though Gracie is sitting in the back seat. Um, isn't he supposed to bring the girl back ... alive?

As if Gracie hasn't been through enough, Slim sends her away for a month to stay with Ginny and her two kids while she prepares for a showdown with Mitch. She learns Krav Maga -- a fighting form originally developed for women in the Israeli army -- and her eyeliner and lip gloss are perfect during every punch and kick.

Summary: I liked it
Review: Yes, I enjoyed this movie and I'm not embarrassed to say it. I know it's been getting some bad reviews, but I liked it. I do, however, see where some people are coming from when they say bad stuff about it. As much as I liked it, I do understand where some flaws were. Some of the acting was a little overdone (with the exception of Jennifer Lopez; she was strong and believable in her role) and the plot was not brand-new material, but it still has the potential to be a good movie. Another reviewer on here was talking about how this is a great film for women. I totally agree. Women don't always have to take a back seat to everything, and Jennifer Lopez's character really had something worthwhile to say. If you don't already know that the plot consists of, the movie is about Slim, a woman who marries Mitch, the typical "no-good" character who lures Slim into thinking he's perfect long enough for her to marry him and have a child with him. After the little girl is born, it all starts going down the tubes. Mitch starts showing what a scumbag he is, Slim tries to run with the daughter, but she is unable to find a route he won't follow. Finally, she decides to hand temporary care of her daughter over to a good friend while she takes martial arts classes and goes after Mitch for the sake of her own safety and the safety of the child. It's a pretty engaging plot that grabs your attention--sometimes it goes slowly and sometimes it starts rolling, but it REALLY picks up in the final scene. Hmm...considering this movie has not gotten all good reviews, I'm trying to figure out who would enjoy it...well, for starters, it is certainly not a disappointment for Jennifer Lopez fans, so there's a group of people who would like it. You might also enjoy it if you like a blend of values and horror. Yes, this movie has both of those things. Not very many films do, but this one does. It's not a 100% thriller, which is why I liked it. I don't do well with many horror movies, but I liked seeing the sweet relationship between Slim and her young daughter. If any of this sounds like anything you would like, then by all means go and see it. I personally like that formula, so I loved it. If that's what you like too, then your opinion of the movie will probably be similar.

Summary: J-LO AT HER BEST!
Review: Jennifer Lopez shows the world again what a great actress she really is. J-LO plays the role of "Slim", a waitress in a diner. After literally bumping into her husband there she suddenly finds herself living in a mansion and eating shrimp scampi for dinner instead of the $1.99 chinese take-out she was used to. The marriage is great for the first couple of years. They have a baby and everyone seems happy. J-Lo plays the typical "soccer mom", running errands and making sure her husband has a warm meal waiting when he gets home from work. However, after a while things start spinning on J-Lo. She finds out her husband is cheating on her and is not ashamed to admit it. He says that "guys have different needs than women." This is when the movie takes off. J-Lo gets beat up by her husband and in a frantic scene takes the baby and herself out of the house. She then relocates to Seattle and assumes a different identity and look. Don't worry guys J-Lo still looks awesome! What follows next is true cinema magic. Frantic car chasing scenes,games of cat and mouse, and some good natured humor follow. Without spoiling the movie I encoorage everybody to see this thriller and give J-Lo a wink of the eye. She deserves it!

Summary: PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!! Excellent thriller.
Review: I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. The storyline is great and the husband's acting is terrific. Even Jennifer Lopez played her role quite well. If you liked Unlawful Entry with Ray Liota & Kurt Russell (on dvd now) and Unfaithful with Richard Gere, you'll enjoy this just as much. I'll definately be buying this on DVD when it comes out. I just hope it's not barebones & has lots of supplements.

Summary: One Star Is More Than Enough!
Review: If there is a movie to skip this summer, please make sure it is enough! Nothing about the movie will impress you. j. lopez marries a man realizing that he is pure trouble. After being abused constantly she seeks revenge. lopez's acting seemed fake and made me and the audience laugh bigtime at the thearter when she tried to act serious about being afraid of her husband in the movie. I mean this movie was an absolute joke basically of lopez's cheesy acting. It did poor at the box office in it's first weekend, and everybody should expect that the movie continues to do poorly at the box office.
