Enough Said

Enough Said

Rating 7 out of 10

When I look at what is playing at most of the theaters in my area I find it a shame that there are so many crappy movies paying yet a well written, well acted movie like Enough Said can only make it in limited release in very few theaters.  I like a shoot 'em up-bang bang movie as well as the next manly man.  I also like a good "chick flick" every now and then too.  This is a relationship movie where the two leads are not extremely good looking hard bodies.

Eva (Julia Louise Dreyfus) is a divorced masseuse with a teenage daughter about to graduate high school and go off to college.  She is barely getting by with the clients she has now and always looking for more.  She has mostly given up on dating and any type of social life.   When she goes to a dinner party she is mostly interested in passing out business cards to pick up new clients.  She meets Albert (James Gandolfini) and while she is not attracted to him at all she agrees to a date.  He is overweight and not her "type".  Amazingly enough he is a great guy and they hit it off.  They begin dating and she falls for the guy.  He also has a daughter leaving for college.

One of the new clients she picked up at the party is a woman with a bad shoulder.  She needs several massages and in doing so they become good friends.  Spending time when not working together.  As luck would have it her new good friend is Alberts ex-wife.  When she figures it out she wants to tell them but does not want to loose either.

As I said the movie is well written.  Dreyfus is as funny as you'd expect and does a good job with the emotional parts.  Gandolfini is also very good at the overweight lovable lug. He almost makes you forget Tony Soprano. Good supporting cast also.

This is a good likable movie that you should seek out.  It's playing in a few theaters around town.  Otherwise make sure to rent it and get a large bucket of popcorn.
