Critics Consensus

Wryly charming, impeccably acted, and ultimately quite bittersweet, Enough Said is a grown-up movie in the best possible way.

Enough Said is cute but restrained, despite the plethora of age jokes.

Cinema Scope

Enough Said, which is set in a Los Angeles so blandly lit that it barely seems to be playing itself, is a movie that seems made to be watched on On Demand (or on an airplane).

On its own, 'Enough Said' is a sweet and charming little movie - but there's no question the loss of its beloved leading man lends the picture extra, unexpected pathos.

Solzy at the Movies

Enough Said holds up as one of the best adult romantic comedies of the 21st century because of Nicole Holofcener's script and beautiful performances from Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini.

Rated: 4.5/5

The screwball situation becomes a springboard for an often bracingly honest portrait of love the second time around.

Finally got around to seeing this movie. Took me long enough right?! Well this was just the movie I needed to see. This movie had all the right cast members and the storyline was very realistic. This was a real touching movie about to adults who are just trying to figure life out and still grow up while raising kids at the same time. Love is the key word here, buy what you do with love is the effort. This movie is worth a shot if you want to be teleported back in to the ealry 2000s and see a great feel good movie

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Really enjoyable dialogue and dynamics, not a RomCom as in "laugh-out-loud", but as in not being too heavy-handed on the drama. Dreyfus and Gandolfini are so likable and there's no hiding that he, specifically, is overweight and large, but still wins of over the lady because of his good humor - except when he's upset (fortunately not violent).

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Enough Said was a very satisfying romantic comedy with our two leads having great chemistry together. The late great James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus really bring their A+ game here and that is no surprise because everything they are in they shine in. This romantic comedy is more for the mature crowd and has a very sharp and strong script. I loved how Gandolfini went outside the box with his character here and brought a lot of substance to Albert. The movie also speeds by at 1 hour and 33 minutes with never letting up. I think a lot of romantic comedies could take a thing or two from this movie. Enough Said gets a strong 4 stars out of 5 from me.

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and the late James Gandolfini in one of his last roles Sometimes enough said is enough Director Nicole Holofcener tells an adult romantic-comedy showing the sobering depiction of being middle-aged Dreyfuss plays Eva, a single mom who hasn’t dated in years She then meets Albert, who’s quite handsome and charming But it gets messy when one of Eva’s massage clients Marianne is actually Albert’s ex-wife This woman confides in her explaining why the marriage fell apart and Eva unfortunately starts to pick up her bad habits It starts to affect her relationship with Albert This movie succeeds being approachable with its treatment of mid-life crisis with humor and tenderness It helps this will resonate with many adult viewers Eva deals with the crossroads of reaching this point in her life while also facing the reality of her daughter packing up and leaving for college It’s both Eva and Albert that are past their prime forced to overcome their own cynical views Parents don’t have to lose touch with their inner selves raising a child, duplicity is what can cause a rift in a relationship, cynicism can tear its ugly head, the dark side of mid life crisis is the bitterness and viewing life and people around you through pettiness, facing your middle years is another facet of life The two leads have never been better in this kind of dramedy even of this script is very shallow Some of the line readings are awkward and stilted plus it feels restrained considering the age jokes present Still Holofcener makes the appeal of Dreyfus and Gandolfini sparkle looking at dating in real life as the years pass Even the ending I was getting a bit teary eyed
