Enough

           

The MM - "Jennifer Lopez (caution: link may contain nudity) goes from waitress to blushing bride to battered wife to nomad to vigilante in direct reverse juxtaposition to Billy Campbell's journey from Mr. Right to Mr. Suspicious to Mr. Horrible. After being the victim of several assaults at the hand (and fist) of her cheating spouse, Jennifer decides the police can't help and life on the run is the only solution. Eventually, J Lo changes her mind and, armed with her new martial arts prowess and new found philosophy of "self defense isn't murder" she confronts her husband for a head to head showdown. When a movie reveals its entire storyline in its trailer the Movie Man can't feel guilty about doing the same and it's a good bet that plot isn't an important part of this movie anyway. In this case, neither is logic. Enough wants you to "root for revenge" and relies totally on emotion and sympathy for audience appeal."
