Thoughts on "Enough Said?"

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone seen the James Gandolfini movie "Enough Said?" If so, what did you think of it? Is it funny, sweet, or just really sad? I really like James Gandolfini, and really want to watch this movie with him in it, but from the look of the middle and end of the trailer, it just looks like it would make me really sad...during the scenes where she playfully nags him (read: fat-shames him) about the calorie book and when he asks, "Why do I get the feeling I just spent the night with my ex-wife?" I just want to give him a hug. As someone who tends to get fat-shamed a lot by well-meaning and not-so-well-meaning people, I feel like this sort of thing in a movie would trigger me. The plot angle of Catherine Keener's character trying to turn Julia Louise-Dreyfus's character against Albert (Gandolfini) by constantly bad-mouthing him kinda makes me cringe, too.

I know, I know....if I think a movie's going to make me feel bad, I shouldn't watch it....but I just want to know if this movie actually is really sweet and funny, and all the fat-shaming and bad-mouthing of Albert only happens in just one or two scenes. I'd love to see it; since I've been a fan of James Gandolfini since I saw Where the Wild Things Are.

saw it last weekend. the sweet bits outnumber the brutal bits.

I've never seen him in anything but the Sopranos, but I tend to be a little obsessed with the Sopranos.

Last thing he will ever star in or physically be in for that matter.

He's dead.

I liked it. I saw it because it had James Gandolfini in it. Sorry to see him go.
