Rating: Summary: I want a rematch. Review: Boy howdy, the fems are getting pretty rough these days. I suppose after generations of being dominated by the male sub-species that once the ladies decided to strike back they meant just that: strike back. A perfect example of estrogen TNT in a can is Jennifer Lopez swingin', sweatin', and kickin' in ENOUGH.Let's face it, we all know where ENOUGH is headed. J-Lo plays a greasy spoon waitress (yeah, like that's believable) who happens to fall for a smooth-talking swell (Bill Campbell) who turns out not to be the nicest guy on the block. Er, the planet. And when J-Lo confronts Hubby about his flagrant infidelity, Hubby responds with some fisticuffs and then refuses to let his wife out of the marriage. Granted, Campbell is ultra-creepy to watch. . .he's so revolting and disgusting that even my dog knew he was going to get the ultimate comeuppance at the end of this flick. With the help of friends, J-Lo and young daughter flee and relocate thousands of miles away, yet Hubby is relentless in his pursuit. Once it becomes obvious that a custody showdown is inevitable, J-Lo does the only logical thing: She enlists the aid of a martial arts dude and learns how to fight like a tiger. Tigress? Then, it's back to California to sneak into Hubby's new flat and extract a pound of posterior. And, of course, predictability reigns supreme as the film rolls to its conclusion. I've had the luxury of viewing this film with other ladies, and their reaction has been somewhat universal. Not a one of them would have put up with the guff J-Lo did; in fact, the first time a punch was thrown Hubby would have first been looking at the floor to find his mountain oysters, just before he would feel the piercing pain of buckshot. But, perhaps justice is swifer in my neck of the woods. Anyway, in ENOUGH J-Lo kind of blindsides her husband during their kung fu match. Ain't fair. I demand a best two-out-of-three. --D. Mikels
Rating: Summary: Female Empowerment Review: Jennifer Lopez stars as Slim in this thriller about an abused woman who flees her rich and well-connected husband Mitch (Bill Campbell). At stake is not only Slim's well-being but also the psychological and physical protection of their young daughter Gracie (played adorably by little Tessa Allen). Although this flick has the trappings of a feminist fight-back story with its theme of domestic violence and custody laws, make no mistake: this is a thriller through and through, with twists and violence and personal peril at every turn. Women will delight in the training scenes where J-Lo prepares to fight back, and men will hardly mind the sight of the buff actress learning to defend herself. Yeah, the premise as it unfolds is a little ridiculous, especially as Mitch seems to have a GPS system to track his fleeing wife, but the escapism is pure adrenaline-rushing fun. Jennifer Lopez is naturally appealing and solid in her performance, although the emotional range of the role seems to demand only fierceness and fright. Still, the chemistry between her and young co-star Allen is unmistakable, even poignant. Noah Wylie does a fantastic turn as Robbie, a character I won't describe for fear of spoiling the plot. Juliette Lewis has her usual on-screen charisma even though she's not given much to work with. This film was much better than I expected. Viewers hoping for something new or even substantial on the theme of domestic violence will be disappointed since it only serves as a plot device to put Lopez's character in danger. This would make a great date flick since men will appreciate the constant action (not to mention the lead actress) and women will be drawn to the subject matter.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie Review: Enough is one of Jennifer Lopez's best movies. The movie is great and the acting is great. This is just one great movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes suspense and Jennifer Lopez. If not rent, you'll still think this is a great movie!
Rating: Summary: "You're one of the lucky ones" Review: I usually don't watch movies with violence in it, but I watched this one because J Lo was in it. While the plot may or may not have been realistic, it does show how horrible domestic abuse can be. Many women face this reality everyday. Women, be safe, and Everyone, do what you can to help end violence against women and children. Peace.
Rating: Summary: good for those who love and hate Jennifer Lopez Review: If you love Jennifer Lopez, then you will like this movie. Although not a masterpiece, its one of her few films that wont put you to sleep. Seriously, I saw her other movie "the wedding planner" and it put me in a coma.
If you hate Jennifer Lopez (like me), then you have to buy this DVD. This is your chance to see this egotistical J-Lo get the shiznel beat out of her. When Britney Spears makes a movie where she gets beat up, I will be first in line to buy a ticket.
Me and my friend saw this movie in the theater. J-Lo gets beat up bad several times and we laughed our asses off! So make your popcorn and enjoy the movie I call "Im still annoying Jenny, knock my block off"!
I bought my copy new for $5.50 at Walmart. Only $5.50 to see Jennifer Lopez get beat up... Sounds like 5 stars to me!
Rating: Summary: Jenny from the block gets knocked off her block Review: This movie was far-fetched. All Lopez's movies are so. You might want to overlook my biased review because I can't stand J-Lo. She's one of those people whose very existence makes me despise them. She cannot sing nor can she act. But she can wait tables superbly. Jennifer Lopez, waitressing is your one true calling in life. Take my hint and die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Giving it a one star is being too kind.... Review: Seeing a movie where Lopez acts and then does a music video for it, is like trying to keep your` food down when the meat was not cooked right...To say that this movie was stupid and both poorly written and casted would just be the begining of the long list of things wrong with it. It's also a sad relflection of the times we live in when we hear about how relationships like this turn to wife beatings and child abandonment. You never see or read a story on CNN or the Internet, of those husbands and fathers who love their wives and kids and would go out of their way to make their livs happy. No, just tragic stories like the one seen in this piece of celliod garbage that is nothing more then shock value entertainmet done with MTV editing and poor taste viewpoints. Bleech.
Rating: Summary: Too Far Fetched! Review: Lopez as a battered wife who escapes her abusive husband with her daughter and goes into hiding. With huge financial resources and a bunch of mafia like goons behind him it is only a matter of time before the husband tracks Lopez down.
As a last resort, Lopez goes to train with a martial artist who trains her to be able to fight back against whatever attack her husband may throw at her. When her training is complete Lopez goes with the intention of actually beating him to death but later learns that her humanity will not let her do it.
I felt a lot of the movie is a little far-fetched to rate it higher, otherwise I would have given it four stars. Lopez does toughen up in the movie (a la Linda Hamilton in Terminator II) and gives a totally different persona than she normally shows.
Rating: Summary: The best Review: I absolutely love this movie, and watch it every chance i get. I am a HUGE jlo fan and this movie really portrays her amazing ability to act. It was a wonderfully plotted movie, with all the suspense it needed. Jlo was great in it and one of my favorite parts are : 'I can smell her!!!! her purfume!!!'- jlo 'Slim we just had a drink!'-mitch. 'STOP IT! OK? I CAUGHT YOU! YOUR CAUGHT! AND YOUR NOT GONNA TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF IT!!!!' then of course it goes on, and he hits her. -OOHHHH- jlo, as she hits the floor.... I know that scene by heart and it is my ultimate favorite. IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY SEEN THIS MOVIE, RENT IT OR BUY IT!!!! you will not regret it! My review is by far the most accurate on this entire site, and i mean it, this movie literrally ROCKED!!!!! At the end, it was so heartfelt when she held her daugher in her arms away from harms way. It was awesome! it features her song she wrote with her 'then' husband chris judd. SEE IT!!!
Rating: Summary: Flawless Review: I love JLO and this movie just showcase the talent that she has. I really don't want to go into details about this movie because if one have not seen this action pack movie they would really enjoy it. Its basically a woman that ended up with a abusive/controlling/dog husband but the movie goes much further than that. I highly recommend this movie
