I never write reviews, but i've seen this movie twice and it does the job of keeping you intrigued and shows how someone can take control of another's life/well being. I wasn't going to comment until I was reading the bad reviews, and it seems each of them is insulting the movie; but also each of them bring up J-Los body!!! what does her body have to do with the movie? just say it's bad and move on!! don't start insulting looks.

This movie struck a cord with me emotionally for sure.... I've been in crazy relationships (yes plural, I can pick them...) and it hurt to watch. Especially the little girl, I remember watching my mom get hit when I was that age... I can't stop watching it tho, and think that every woman who has been in an abusive relationship should...
The power of a determined woman!

There have been many movies like this that have come before, but this one was more inspiring as I felt that the protagonist took more responsibility for herself by learning to fight and learning self defense. That is an extremely empowering aspect we don't always see, it's usually more about hiding.
Extremely Enjoyable!!

First off...why does the fact that this movie deals with spousal abuse and a woman smart enough to run and hide automatically make it a ripoff of "Sleeping with the Enemy"? Because "The Count of Monte Cristo" has swordplay, does that make it a ripoff of all of the Zorro movies, or the Robin Hood movies? Does the fact that Spiderman is a Marvel Superhero make it a ripoff of "The X-Men"? Of course not. And only the very basic storylines make "Enough" and "Sleeping..." similar at all. Let me illustrate...
In "Sleeping with the Enemy", Julia Roberts plays a weak willed woman who stays with her mentally abusive husband until she finally has enough and leaves when she gets the chance to fake her death. Julia never changes...always the weak willed, scared out of her gourd hiding wife.
In "Enough", Jennifer Lopez plays a strong minded woman who decides to leave her abusive husband as soon as she finds out what he is really like. Jennifer never changes either...but in this case she maintains her strength, and although scared out of her gourd also, she sets out to confront him in a physical battle...his forte usually.
This movie was great entertainment. Anyone who says they felt this was a total yawner, with no tension at all is too critical. This is what entertainment is about. This was a great way to spend 2 hours as far as I am concerned.
Ms Lopez is becoming a better actress with each film. But, as far as the female actresses go in this flick...the little girl who portrayed Jennifer's daughter out-acted everyone else...male or female. Two thumbs UP for this little lady!!

Am I the only person who realizes how awful this movie is?
ozort12 September 2007
I appreciate a good "bad movie". If a movie is bad enough, it can be fun to watch. This movie, however, is SO bad that you can't even enjoy it's awfulness. I mean seriously. I'm *very* patient for bad movies, in many cases i love them, but this may very well be the absolute worst movie I've ever seen, and not just because of the terrible supporting actors.
In all sincerity, pornography typically has better writing and directing than this, and the plot makes more sense. The real paradox about this film; despite being disorganized and random, it somehow manages to be totally predictable.
For those who haven't seen it, the basic plot is that a WONDERFUL guy marries j-lo and gives her everything she wants. 5 years into the marriage, his pager goes off, and she looks at the number instantly comes to the conclusion that he's cheating on her. She decides to leave in the middle of the night while he's asleep in the room, rather than during the hours and hours he's away during the daytime. So he decides to kick j-lo in the face a bunch of times, which doesn't leave a scratch on her. The rest of the movie is basically him pursuing her.
So she runs away, and he chases after her, trying VERY visibly and publicly to kill her. By "publicly" i mean doing things like... knocking down total strangers to run up to a bus she's on, then pounding on the side of the bus while screaming something to the effect of "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU AS SOON AS I CATCH YOU BITCH"... or kicking in hotel room doors... or sending goons to vandalize the place she's living at, who delight us by delivering gripping and thrilling lines like "Hey Bitch, do you know what it feels like to die because you are so stupid?". In fact, i think the word "bitch" occurs once for every 3 spoken lines.
The characters fail to achieve even a meager 2 dimensions; even cartoon villains are more conflicted than these characters. The "bad guys" (i.e. men) are 100% evil and unremorseful, and the "good guys" (i.e. girls) are perfect and pure in their motivations.
If you enjoyed this movie, be sure to also catch Troll 2 and Panic Room and Road Rage. I enjoy terrible movies, but this was just above and beyond terrible.

An enjoyably tense watch
winkust22 June 2020
I enjoyed this movie, its not perfect but so what, some parts of the film are not typical of most real life situations but this is a movie, movies are made to entertain and entertain this did. Jennifer Lopez plays Slim who thinks she is married to the perfect husband until one night he reveals his violent side, she then has to try and get her and her child away from him, a fast pace and hefty dose of tension make this an entertaining watch
half way through you'll scream "enough!"
imprinted8 February 2006
I'll start with the tagline on the front of the DVD. "Everyone has a limit." This makes it seem like Jenny put up with abuse for a long time.... but nope, she got hit once and that was her limit. Misleading already. I have many qualms with this movie but i'll just point out a couple because it's not worth watching again to pick them all out. First, J-Lo's name is Slim.... misleading again. The second half of the movie is where it gets really frustrating. Jennifer trains for what seems to be a week or two (with a billy blanks impersonator) and is suddenly G.I. Jane. / Super Ninja / 007. She now can block cell phones, pick locks, hide in rafters / scale walls / use gadgets to find guns / beat up a large man / plant evidence to stage her master scheme. If you want a fantasy watch the passion or this one. If you want a quality suspense movie, pass on it.
Better than i expected
mjw23051 January 2007
Made in the same vein as 'Sleeping with the Enemy' Enough actually manages to entertain and be its own film quite easily. Slim (Jennifer Lopez) thought she was entering domestic bliss when she married Mitch (Billy Campbell), but after the birth of their first child; Mitch reveals his darker side and Slim goes on the run with their daughter.
Now hunted by her spouse, she finally has enough, and engages Mitch in a battle of wits and physical ability.
'Enough' is good entertainment and despite some minor flaws it has plenty of action, thrills and tension.
OK it's nowhere near the best thriller around, but its worth a look 6/10

sonicsilversiren29 January 2005
Putting my opinion on Jennifer Lopez's acting aside, my intelligence and tolerance for the Hollywood film industry has been brutally offended.
This film trivialized the trouble faced by abused women. The characters are stereotyped and dull, the plot predictable and possibly worst of all, TITLE CARDS. Because the audience is stupid enough to have no idea that he's the ideal husband until he slaps her and sleeps around, they have to tell us in tall white text on a black background. The movie was beneath the talent of Juliette Lewis, and most of the rest of the cast.
In conclusion, watching this made me feel physically ill. Don't waste the minutes you could spend doing something more valuable, like changing the cat litter.

Outstanding Performance for JLO!
revba18 October 2021
This is only the 3rd time I have viewed this film and feel that is one of JLO's finest performances! She is excellent in the way she approaches what she had to do with the psycho husband she married. Those type of men are relentless and very dangerous so she defended herself and her child. Leading male and supporting performances from Juliette Lewis and others were very good performances as well.
I don't understand the bad reviews but I'm glad she has enough good reviews to outweigh the bad ones.

"I Don't Think You're That Slim!"
gwnightscream4 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Jennifer Lopez, Bill Campbell, Dan Futterman and Juliette Lewis star in this 2002 drama-thriller based on the novel. Lopez (Selena) plays Slim, a waitress who finds romance with stranger, Mitch (Campbell). Soon, they move in together, get married and have a daughter, Gracie (Tessa Allen). Slim learns that Mitch isn't the charming guy she thought, when he not only cheats on her, but physically abuses her. Slim finds herself in a nightmare of desperately trying to get away from him with Gracie. Futterman (The Birdcage) plays Slim's ex-boyfriend, Joe, Lewis (Natural Born Killers) plays Slim's best friend, Ginny and Fred Ward (The Right Stuff) briefly appears as Slim's father, Jupiter. This is a pretty good film similar to "Sleeping with the Enemy" with tense and dramatic moments and Lopez & Campbell are great in it. I recommend this.
Hilarious
Rudy Poot3 January 2004
I love bad movies, I grew up on them. Only a certain type of bad movie though, some of them are just boring but "Enough" has "it". Bad acting, ridiculous situations, cheesy music, characters that do things that make no sense, etc. There is one problem w/ this movie though, it bothered me the 1st time I saw it because it deals w/ a serious subject and it sends some very bad messages to women in "Slim's" situation. A very exploitive movie. You would like to think that a battered woman would be offended w/ this cheap manipulative garbage but apparently, they're aloud to have bad taste in movies just like most of the people in the world. Anyway, Jennifer Lopez gives a terrible, terrible performance and shows absolutely no range whatsoever. Billy Campbell comes off as some kind of comic book super villain and makes you wonder, how could he hide the fact that he's such a bast@rd from her for as long as he did? But who cares, there's tons of laughs in this flick. The scene where Slim receives her first beatdown is a riot from start to finish. There's just too many funny sequences in this movie to list them all. A must see for any fan of bad movies. I make sure to catch it every time it's on and I'm thinking about buying the DVD. Anaconda was a classic bad movie, add Enough to that classic list & I think I might have to check out Maid In Manhattan, Angel Eyes, Wedding Planner & Gigli and have a J Lo festival.
Tense and intense

This film is about a woman who finds out that her husband is not the great man he appears to be. She refuses to accept her fate as an abused housewife, and does everything she can to change her destiny.
"Enough" wastes no time beating around the bush. Right from the beginning, we already see how abusive the cheating husband is. Slim, the determined wife, fights back. She appears helpless at first, creating much sympathy for her. She lives in threat and danger every day. There is much suspense and thrill throughout the film. As the film progress, we see the satisfying finale. I hope all spouses who are battered can stand up against the terror like Slim does.

Again, someone doesn't like J-Lo, so they trash her films. GET OFF IT! If you don't like her, don't see her friggin' movies and waste our time here with your pointless character assassination. This movie is better than "Sleeping with the Enemy," even if it is of the same genre. It's more compelling, because there's a child involved. I'm a parent, so this film really struck home. As for Campbell's character changing midstream, "without warning," - it
happens. Totally believable. I sat through this film with my gut in knots.
I loved the ending- a real crowd pleaser, no doubt. My only complaint- they tried to use Washington exteriors as a substitute for upper Michigan in the outdoor scenes. I know upper Michigan way too well to
have been fooled in the slightest- but I'm being picky. Most people won't notice. J-Lo's best performance to date. Billy Campbell is great, and I always love to see Fred Ward. 7 outta 10- You go girl.

I'm not sure why some viewers compare this with "Sleeping with the Enemy", although there are some similarities, however small.
This is a a story that starts with a fairy-tale wedding, then a birth and all seems to go well. But then Slim finds out that her husband is seeing someone else. Of course, he reassures her that she's the only one that matters.
Then, when physical abuse starts, you know she's got to get out. Which she does, with some difficulty. And she starts to run from place to place, always knowing he's somehow tracking her.
The part I most enjoyed was seeing Noah Wyle play a creepy guy, so different from the roles he usually plays.
And then the end, with Slim getting martial arts training and sneaking into his home to prepare to "finish him", which she does by happenstance. I don't usually enjoy that type of violence, but was happy to see a woman stand up for herself and her child.
Enjoyed it a lot!

Retitle it "Screenplay from Hell"
thundrmi21 July 2002
Awful. Perhaps one of the worst movies I have seen in the last two years, "Enough" was doomed from the opening titles, mostly due to an incredibly inane, unbelievable script. One of the sure signs that a film has been poorly written is apparent when good actors (Lopez, Campbell) look like they cannot act. The dialogue is so shoddy that it lends no credibility to their characters.
Irritating sequence titles "Our Wedding," "The Conquering Hero," etc., are used to paste together badly paced events in the first half of this story, then are abandoned in the worsening second half. Major plot developments (relationships, telltale violent behavior, murders, cross-country travel) are curiously omitted.
The first sign that Lopez's hubby is wacko strangely does not happen until they have been married for five years. Upon his confession of an affair and refusal to end it, the wronged wife is immediately forgiving and accepting.. much more than most spouses would be for a forgotten anniversary. When he first assaults her, rather than showing fear and revulsion, she wipes a small (already clotted) trickle of blood from her cheek and continues a philosophical conversation with him about their relationship.
The plot, dialogue, editing and continuity are a mess. This was a true waste of talent including Lopez, Campbell, Noah Wylie (who has made a bad misstep in choosing a first major screen role) and Juliet Lewis (who once AGAIN exhibits facial expressions that convey a character with mental illness or some emotional disturbance).
Enough already.

Good Enough for our family
David_Howard1 June 2003
"Enough" in my opinion was worth the time. I sometimes use the expression, "It was a good ride." Our family thought that maybe we were watching a light comedy by the way it started out. But by the "house purchasing scene" we all went "Oh oh!!...this doesn't feel right!" I have watched well over 10,000 movies and I heard some real original dialogue. Yes, it was over the top and full of holes in some respects watching Slim morph into Jane Bond, but it WAS a fun ride. Out of ****, I gave it ***, my wife ***, my daughter ***, her husband **
Worthless!

Warning: Spoilers
*LOTS OF SPOILERS* Do you hate men? I mean, really REALLY hate men? If so, this movie is for you! JLo (in her worst role ever) plays Slim, a woman that has been slapped around by her husband a couple times. Does she make an effort to get the police involved? Does she file for divorce? Of course not... she instead flees with her daughter, creates an assumed name, and takes boxing lessons. Why get a restraining order when you can take the law into your own hands? JLo begins her training, and in a month's time, has evolved from a suburban housewife into a prizefighter. Hurray! Let the ass-kicking begin! But why stop at beating the husband half to death, why not kill him as well? That sounds reasonable, right? And, to top it all off, after completing the premeditated murder, the police just give JLo a reassuring smile and deem her "one of the lucky ones". What a happy ending! What a ridiculous piece of garbage.
A movie that empowers women and goes against abuse.

Warning: Spoilers
Enough, a movie that tries to portray domestic abuse faced by women around the world. This movie involves an abusive husband, a clever, protective mother and an innocent, frightened daughter. This movie showcases how powerful a mother's love can be, as can be seen by Jennifer Lopez's performance as she is seen to go so far as to train to be able to defend herself and protect her daughter from her dangerous husband.
The movie was good because it was tense and did not waste any time. This movie had some exciting car chases and a few pretty good plot twists and jump scares.
Overall, it is a movie that I would recommend to watch to raise awareness against abuse.

This movie is beyond awful. The only movie Jennifer Lopez was somewhat good in was "Selina" and that is not really a compliment. It is a story of a waitress who meets the guy of her dreams and marries him. A few years and an annoying little girl later, JLO finds out that her husband is cheating on her with some French woman and confronts him about it, but instead of stopping the cheating he gives JLO a punch in the jaw, and acts like a total skitzo through out the movie. One minute he is a the nice guy, next he is this wife beating, chauvinist jerk. "OH BROTHER", can this movie get anymore comicbooky with this man's character changing in a blink of an eye with NO EXPLANATION WHAT SO EVER, wait, it can. After she escapes the man with her daughter, she looks for her rich father who abandoned her and her mother years ago because her husband is after her and his daughter. She finds him, and some after-school-special crap happens.Daddy dearest feels sorry for JLO and instead of getting her some security guards and high priced lawyers for a divorce, he high tech's her up with watches that spray some sort of mace, and have her trained in Krav Maga which she becomes an expert in about 3 weeks, "GIVE ME A BREAK". Then she realizes she can't take anymore crap from her husband, so she sets him up by breaking into his house, getting rid of his guns and knifes, and placing letters around the house saying some crap about him beating her, or some foolishness like that. She waits until he comes home, and the end turns into the climax of Jet Li's film, "The One" with all these combat moves and junk like that, and she kills him. After "Sleeping with the Enemy" oh excuse me, "Eye for an Eye" oh excuse me again, "Enough" ended, I realized I just wasted 115 minutes of my life with this stupid crap. JLO if you aren't going to do a proper movie, don't act. I know you acted before you sang, but face it, you are worse than Freddie Prinze Jr. in picking out a good script. Stick with singing and dancing.

OH, GOD! ENOUGH!!! YUCHHHHHHH!!!!
Is it actually possible to spoil this movie for anyone? I don't think so. Not really. Anyone with a working brain cell can pretty much figure out exactly how this one is gonna go. And one working brain cell is a lot more than this one has. Technically, if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie. I saw the trailer, so... yeah, I pretty much saw this one coming from space. I saw the movie (my father rented it on a slow work night).
Yeah, I was right.
What audience is this for really? Women? Young girls? J-Lo fans? Stupid ones? Females who wanna see a woman kick a guy's ass, after he tortures here implausibly throughout the the whole f*****g flick?
Oh s**t, I answered my own question.
I was screaming the title out at the screen less than halfway through. And not in a good way. This movie represents cinematic s**t in it's purest form. This movie does not have viewers, only survivors.
It's a stupid movie for stupid people. Very stupid. People who wouldn't be able to count to 10 if they didn't have that many fingers. For this movie to be worth watching, it should have been as short as it's trailer. J-Lo takes ten steps back.
I mean, even "Gigli" was better than this crap. The movie is like watery broth with a single piece of meat floating in it... like a loan survivor lost at sea with no hope. To watch this putrid filth (or to at least enjoy it), you must love J-Lo (and I mean to the point where you'll gobble up anything she so much as peed on), you must be easily duped, preferably a woman... no, a young teenage girl who gets moist at the sight of watching a woman kick a guy's *ss... There are a lot of women out there like that... watching some chick kick a guy in the nuts. They'll see it and squeal, "Right on, sister!"
You know what? To save you the trouble, here, let me just tell you the entire plot. Like the villain when everything has fallen in his favor: They fall in love (he pulls something of a con), they get married. He cheats on her... he beats on her (although it's so spoon-fed, anybody with more than one brain-cell will feel insulted). He beats and cheats and beats and cheats... "I'm a man who always gets what I want..." he says right before he decks her for complaining about unfaithful he is. She goes to a gym and gets in shape... then kicks HIS *ss. Movie's over.
Not soon ENOUGH, though.
I know that the women out there looking for a positive female influence. A leader. Someone they can look up to. But to deal with themes like stalking and spousal abuse so routine... he tortures her to no end... just so she can beat the s**t out of him in the last couple minutes... I felt not so much sympathy for J-Lo's character Slim (by the way, it's J-Lo, so WHY would she honestly be named that??) as much as I felt hate for J-Lo herself and the rest of the filmmakers. This movie insulted my intelligence. And the intelligence of a lot of others.
But some people's I.Q's were not insulted. Like my sister's and her friends.
If you met them, you'd know why.
Enough, J-Lo. Good luck with "Jersey Girl." I know you and Ben will do great. Kevin Smith's name alone "great movie."
No where to go but up, right?
