When James Gandolfini died suddenly earlier this year, the "Sopranos" actor still had unreleased movies. Enough Said is one of them, and from the trailer, it looks like a work worthy to remember the great actor. The astute observer of the upper middle class Nicole Holofcener (Please Give, Friends with Money) wrote the script and directs, and it looks on par with her best work.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays a masseuse struggling with being an empty nester as her daughter prepares to enroll in college. Then she meets Gandolfini, and they quickly fall for each other. Then, it turns out one of her clients (Catherine Keener) is his ex-wife. They become friends, and Keener unloads all the things that used to annoy her about her husband, from his eating habits to his clumsiness. And it turns out that dissatisfaction is catchy. "She's like a human TripAdvisor!" Louis-Dreyfus says to another friend in a trailer, one of my favorite lines. As one of those people who immediately knows what she's talking about (TripAdvisor has an odd ability to make you choose a well-reviewed place, then become hypersensitive to all the things you have been warned about, like late-night noise or the perceived rudeness of the staff), I know Enough Said will definitely be a movie with some razor-sharp laughs. See for yourself, below, or wait until the movie comes out on October 10.
