"Enough Said" is a Great Film for James Gandolfini's Last

"Enough Said" is a great film for James Gandolfini's last. Eva, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, is a divorced woman living with her daughter Ellen, played by Tracey Fairaway. After getting divorced, it has just been Eva and Ellen and Eva has been lonely. And Ellen is going away to college at the end of the summer, and Eva is looking for someone. Eva is a masseuse and after plenty of clients talking about their lives, she wants to have one again, when she becomes an empty nester.  She goes to a party, with her friends Sarah, played by Toni Collette, and Will, played by Ben Falcone. She meets a new client named Marianne, played by Catherine Keener, and a heavyset man but also appealing man named Albert, played by James Gandolfini. Albert asks for Eva's number because like Eva, he is divorced and looking for a relationship after his daughter leaves for college. Eva starts to date Albert and she really starts to like him. And she is also liking spending time with Marianne, the only problem is that Albert is Marianne's ex-husband. Eva has to figure out what she really wants.

This film was incredibly hilarious and it was very simple and heartwarming just like the relationship they portrayed in this film. This is very entertaining to watch, and throughout the film you want to know how their relationship will end up. Julia Louis-Dreyfus does a fantastic job as the lead. She was funny, and a very strong independent woman. She is a legendary actress because of her amazing role on "Seinfeld" and it is great to see her in films also and still be around in Hollywood. Some great supporting roles in this film included, Toni Collette, Catherine Keener, and Ben Falcone. James Gandolfini was amazing in this film, and it is a travesty that he is gone so soon. This film can be apart of his legacy.

Grade = 86/100 = B
