How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:121

Fresh:26

Rotten:95

Average Rating:4/10

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]

A sleazy exploitation flick disguised as a serious message movie about a nutcase who beats his wife, this ultimately has as much to do with spousal abuse as The Wizard of Oz does with agriculture in Kansas.

it is as predictable as that fifth bite of liver you hate to eat: you know what it’s going to taste like, and you know that it’s going to suck.

Jennifer Lopez's character finally said "Enough" an hour later in the movie than I did.

It's a lot like a bad movie once removed, which is to say that it's exactly the kind of bad movie that characters in a movie sometimes go to see.

It's one of those pictures where all the characters are idiots and the plot would be resolved in five minutes if any of them had half a brain.

The movie's biggest shocks come from seeing former nymphette Juliette Lewis playing a salt-of-the-earth mommy named Minnie and watching Slim travel incognito in a ridiculous wig no respectable Halloween costume shop would ever try to sell.

At the point Slim decides to run with her little Gracie you may wish to run, too -- from the theater.

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

Bears about as much resemblance to the experiences of most battered women as Spider-Man does to the experiences of most teenagers.

The film is strictly routine.

A very mechanical revenge fantasy that skirts every serious issue it raises along a slick, cynical trajectory.

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

J-Lo strikes back in a tense and thrilling revenge flick with the best fight scene so far this year. But I couldn't help feeling guilty over my delight at the brutal way 'Enough' ended.

Believability wasn't one of the film's virtues.

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.

All the while I wondered why Slim hasn't checked into a shelter for battered women.
