How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:29

Fresh:4

Rotten:25

Average Rating:3.8/10

Consensus: Enough exploits the serious issue of spousal abuse to make an illogical, unintelligent thriller.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for intense scenes of domestic violence, some sensuality and language

Runtime: 1 hr 56 mins

Genre: Dramas

Theatrical Release:May 24, 2002 Wide

Box Office: $39,177,215

Synopsis: A diner waitress, Slim (Jennifer Lopez), meets Mitch (Bill Campbell), a handsome rich man who defends her in the diner. They marry and have a child, but Slim's happiness is soon lost when she... A diner waitress, Slim (Jennifer Lopez), meets Mitch (Bill Campbell), a handsome rich man who defends her in the diner. They marry and have a child, but Slim's happiness is soon lost when she discovers that her husband has a mistress. When confronted, Mitch becomes abusive and proceeds to lay down controlling laws for Slim. As the abuse grows worse, Slim realizes that fleeing is her only path to freedom. Mitch's determination becomes evident as he tracks Slim down, terrorizes her, and uses the legal system to his advantage, scheduling a custody hearing. Realizing that flight and the law are not her strongest allies, Slim takes intensive combat classes, preparing to meet Mitch one last time, intending to kill him in apparent self defense. ENOUGH wisely spins typical gender roles beyond the training of its protagonist. Slim is aided by a sensitive male admirer (Dan Futterman), who has stamina problems, and her daughter Grace (Tessa Allen), who has admirable basketball skills. When it comes time for the climactic last battle, ENOUGH doesn't get bogged down with politics, sexual or otherwise. Instead, it gleefully delivers an elaborate, bloody, final brawl. [More]

Despite a story that starts off convincingly, this movie turns into melodramatic, revenge-crazy Hollywood mush.

It's a loathsome movie, it really is and it makes absolutely no sense.

Enough trivializes an important crisis, reduces it to an almost comic embarrassment.

Works as long as it faces the horror of extreme male privilege, but dissipates quickly once Lopez begins over-preparing for a face-off with hand-to-hand combat training and calibrated techno-gadgetry.

Clumsy, obvious, preposterous, the movie will likely set the cause of woman warriors back decades.

At best, this should have been a bad made-for-TV movie.

In terms of actual social conscience, the movie gets a demagogic, rabble-rousing F.

Apted has paced Enough with the required amount of snap, keeping the whammies coming at regular and increasingly terrifying intervals.

The picture should really have been titled Uncle, because that's what many men will feel like crying out after enduring this estrogen-fuelled freakout.

It's the most tension-producing movie out there right now -- in the best way, it's almost unbearable.

It appears to have been made by people to whom the idea of narrative logic or cohesion is an entirely foreign concept.

You expect more from director Michael Apted (Enigma) and screenwriter Nicholas Kazan (Reversal of Fortune) than this cliche pileup.

Rivals Showgirls and old Ed Wood movies from the 1950s in the so-bad-it's-fun category.

As gaudy and manipulative entertainments go, there's just not enough in Enough.

What begins as a seemingly brainless, bubbly romantic comedy becomes a cliche-drenched melodrama by mid-film and, by film's end, a feminist action fantasy.
