A Story of Love and Funny Timing

From acclaimed writer-director Nicole Holofcener (Friends with Money), here comes Enough Said, a.k.a. one of the late James Gandolfini’s last completed films.

I gotta say the movie – quite possibly the filmmaker’s most blatant attempt at a rom-com – looks like a hella good time.

And Im not saying so because Gandolfini is no longer with us and I want you to consider watching it but because Enough Said seems to be more of that which Holofcener does best (if not on the surface): an insightful observation wrapped in the (biting) funny.

The story centers on the unlikely relationship that forms between a divorced massage therapist (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and a schlub-ish man (Gandolfini) she meets at a party who happens to be the ex of a new client (Holofcener habituĂ©e Catherine Keener).

A comedy of errors ensues.

See how it all plays out when Enough Said opens on Sept. 20.
