Enough Said (2013)
6/10
A grown up movie? Maybe if you're an enormous child.

OK, so I normally hate romantic comedies, but I thought I would give this one a solid chance, as I like Juila Dreyfus and James Gandolfini.

I couldn't finish. I made it more than halfway through, which is an accomplishment, I guess. This is a pretty typical movie about a bunch of -frankly self absorbed- middle aged divorcees who are overwhelmed by parenthood and modern life, and are looking for a blissful relationship.

The dialogue is intended to be "adult" but really comes off as whiny and entitled. These characters think that life owes them something. Their discussions seem petty and trivial.

(I realize that's the whole point. If you enjoy this sort of thing then you will probably like "Enough Said".)

I hate to be that guy, but Catherine Keener plays the same frumpy, typecast best friend that she plays in almost every movie. The other stars do a solid job, but ultimately portray insufferable characters, and it's irritating.
