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]

Enough may pander to our basest desires for payback, but unlike many revenge fantasies, it ultimately delivers.

The film is flat.

Taking the film as a thriller, it's neither exciting nor scary, hampered by a middle that plays much too long.

The script is like a worn piece of rope -- little by little the strands begin to split and unravel.

When it comes to making bad movies, for Lopez, Enough is enough.

Marred by a worthless script, meandering performances and leaden direction. And a worthless script.

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

This is revenge fantasy, and as such it works perfectly.

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.

You wonder why Enough wasn't just a music video rather than a full-length movie.

Offensive in the way it exploits the hot-button issue of domestic abuse for cheap thrills and disgusting in the manner it repeatedly puts a small child in jeopardy, treating her as little more than a prop to be cruelly tormented.

A surprisingly effective thriller, outdistancing similar hooey like Sleeping with the Enemy and Double Jeopardy by miles.

Shamelessly exploits the horror of domestic violence for melodramatic, cheap thrills.

Manages to take the serious subject of spousal abuse and transform it into a lame, cheesy, J.Lo-kicks-butt revenge fantasy.

Michael Apted's 'self defense isn't murder' thriller may reek of familiarity like yesterday's garbage, but the intense chemistry between the leading actors actually makes the film work.

Is it worth sitting through a bad film for a good fight? Not really.
