Enough Said: I’m a romantic fool. I should hang my head in shame for having let this particular movie stay under my personal radar last year. And you should hang your head in shame for falling asleep watching this movie, Mr. Bowie! This melancholy movie will make you laugh and leave you in tears. Enough Said is a romantic comedy about middle-aged parents with broken relationships and kids about to leave home. It’s a romantic comedy that is romantic and funny and I mean really funny. The film stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, James Gandolfini (in one of his final roles), Toni Collette, Catherine Keener, Ben Falcone, and Toby Huss. The film is written and directed by Nicole Holofcener. I loved Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes in Seinfeld, and James Gandolfini for everything he’s been in.
Enough Said happens to be the second-to-last film with James Gandolfini in the cast. He died in June 19, 2013 from a heart attack at age 51. James Gandolfini will appear next September in the film The Drop, adapted from a Dennis Lehane story. The film is directed by Michaël R. Roskam, a Belgian film director known for Bullhead (2011). Bullhead was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2012.
Now excuse me, there’s someone knocking on my door. Could that be Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Okay, I’m a romantic fool…
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
Thanks for the review, Herman! Looks like a good one to watch on a lackluster Saturday night.
You’re welcome, Mary J. I’m going to watch it for a second time…
Do you think Mr Bowie will enjoy it more the second time around?
I fell asleep, again… But I think it’s a good movie, though!:-)
I liked the movie. Gandolfini had quite the range as an actor.
Loved this movie too, Jennifer. Gandolfini’s performance was so great that it moved me to tears.
Yes, he was perfect in the role. Now you’re making me want to see it again! Such a loss.
But — but — Elaine couldn’t dance! You can’t love her!
Ha ha ha… How could I have forgotten that?
Such a great cast……it just had to be good.
Pam
Oh yes! You got to see this one…
A charming movie, I agree. We were just wondering what to watch tonight – think we’ll watch this one again! Thanks for reminding me of this movie.
You’re welcome, Letizia. Enjoy the movie…
I will rent the movie “Enough Said” – “The Green Mile” was a good recommendation from you earlier, and this looks like one too. Have a good day, Herman and Mr. Bowie!
Thank you, Lavinia. I’m sure you’re going to like the movie…
Yes, Enough Said was a wonderful film…
Oh yes, it moved me and made me feel good afterwards…
Thanks Herman for the heads up, I look forward to watching this movie. Are you saying Mr. Bowie’s not the romantic type? He can play the leading cat role anytime. ♥
No doubt about that! But please, don’t tell him… 🙂
I haven’t seen it, but I heard it was good. You reminded me that I wanted to see it!
Please do! I promise you won’t regret it…
I love Gandolfini but don’t usually like love stories (even though I am a HUGE fan of love <3)
After your recommendation I will definitely watch it.
I’m sure you’re going to like this movie. You don’t need to take account of Mr. Bowie’s opinion…
Thanks for the recommendation, I just put is on my Netflix list. I hope you had stocked up enough dark chocolate to get you through movie times! Mr. Bowie looks a bit doped with catnip in this picture?
For every tear and smile a piece of dark chocolate…
Guess Mr. Bowie was exhausted of all the naps…
PS: enjoy the movie!
We’re all romantic fools at one time or another. Except, perhaps, for Mr. Bowie.
Oh, but he can be romantic too, especially when he wants treats…
We loved this film..cried our eyes out. Partly because we mourn the loss of a great actor….a house of passionate sweepers, are we 🙂
I was watching the movie with the same thoughts…
Make that WEEPERS, although we do sweep on occasion…
Ha ha ha…
Wasn’t that just the most wonderful movie? The fact that Julia’s character is becoming a confidant/masseuse to Jame’s ex made for great laughs. Gandolfini gave a touching performance, I’m so going to miss him. He was such a talented actor. Do you get the show ‘VEEP’ in Belgium? It’s Julia Louis Dreyfus playing the Vice President of the USA and her very dysfunctional team of support people helping her run for President. OMG, it’s outrageously funny 😀 Mr Bowie wouldn’t be able to sleep because you’d be laughing so hard.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus won an Emmy Award last night: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep”!
I haven’t seen ‘Veep’ but it seems to be on a local movie channel. Thanks for this information, Boomdee. I’m sure going to watch this show.
Lovely review, Herman. Looks like Mr. Bowie is also feeling romantic 🙂
Thank you, Miwako! Well, it seems we were all in a romantic mood…
Agree!
