( Showing 1-35 of 122 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )
1/4  "Offensive in the way it exploits the hot-button issue of domestic abuse for cheap thrills and disgusting in the manner it repeatedly puts a small child in jeopardy, treating her as little more than a prop to be cruelly tormented."
-- Glenn Whipp, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS

1.5/4  "A pathetic exploitation film that tries to seem sincere, and just seems worse for the effort."
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC

2/4  "Enough is not a bad movie, just mediocre. The performances are so overstated, the effect comes off as self-parody."
-- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR

  "The plan to make Enough into ‘an inspiring tale of survival wrapped in the heart-pounding suspense of a stylish psychological thriller’ has flopped as surely as a soufflé gone wrong."
-- Urban Cinefile Critics, URBAN CINEFILE

  "J-Lo strikes back in a tense and thrilling revenge flick with the best fight scene so far this year. But I couldn't help feeling guilty over my delight at the brutal way 'Enough' ended."
-- Betty Jo Tucker, REELTALK MOVIE REVIEWS

1/4  "The film tries to touch on spousal abuse but veers off course and becomes just another revenge film."
-- Tony Toscano, TALKING PICTURES

2.5/4  "Enough may pander to our basest desires for payback, but unlike many revenge fantasies, it ultimately delivers."
-- Tor Thorsen, REEL.COM

2/4  "Despite the holes in the story and the somewhat predictable plot, moments of the movie caused me to jump in my chair..."
-- Michael Szymanski, ZAP2IT.COM

1.5/4  "This movie seems to have been written using Mad-libs. There can be no other explanation. Hilariously inept and ridiculous."
-- Collin Souter, EFILMCRITIC.COM

0/10  "Two hours of junk."
-- Chuck Schwartz, CRANKY CRITIC®

  "The movie's biggest shocks come from seeing former nymphette Juliette Lewis playing a salt-of-the-earth mommy named Minnie and watching Slim travel incognito in a ridiculous wig no respectable Halloween costume shop would ever try to sell."
-- James Sanford, KALAMAZOO GAZETTE

2/5  "The crassness of this reactionary thriller is matched only by the ridiculousness of its premise."
-- Jamie Russell, BBCI FILMS

  "Clumsy, obvious, preposterous, the movie will likely set the cause of woman warriors back decades."
-- Peter Rainer, NEW YORK MAGAZINE

2/5  "Bears about as much resemblance to the experiences of most battered women as Spider-Man does to the experiences of most teenagers."
-- Catharine Tunnacliffe, EYE WEEKLY

  "The film is strictly routine."
-- Doris Toumarkine, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

2/4  "This is the kind of movie where people who have never picked a lock do so easily after a few tries and become expert fighters after a few weeks."
-- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER

  "It's hard to hate the film. Even though it pushes all the familiar buttons, it does them well enough to make its target audience clap."
-- Luke Y. Thompson, NEW TIMES

D  "Grossly sensationalistic....Though it has a certain cheap visceral power, you'll probably leave it feeling about as abused as its battered but determined heroine."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION

C-  "Black-and-white and unrealistic."
-- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM

C-  "Believability wasn't one of the film's virtues."
-- Dennis Schwartz, OZUS' WORLD MOVIE REVIEWS

  "Entertaining, but extremely predictable."
-- Paul Salfen, SUPERCALA.COM

3/4  "If you're looking for an intelligent movie in which you can release your pent up anger, ENOUGH is just the ticket you need."
-- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS

2/4  "A manipulative feminist empowerment tale thinly posing as a serious drama about spousal abuse."
-- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM

Hot Pick
  "Definitely a crowd-pleaser, but then, so was the Roman Colosseum."
-- Scott Von Doviak, FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM

ROTTEN 11%
Avg. Rating: 4.1/10
C  "Spousal abuse is a major problem in contemporary society, but the film reduces this domestic tragedy to florid melodrama."
-- Philip Wuntch, DALLAS MORNING NEWS

1/5  "You expect more from director Michael Apted (Enigma) and screenwriter Nicholas Kazan (Reversal of Fortune) than this cliche pileup."
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

  "It appears to have been made by people to whom the idea of narrative logic or cohesion is an entirely foreign concept."
-- Charles Taylor, SALON.COM

1.5/4  "The ga-zillionth airhead movie about a wife in distress who resorts to desperate measures."
-- Jan Stuart, LOS ANGELES TIMES

2/4  "What begins as a seemingly brainless, bubbly romantic comedy becomes a cliche-drenched melodrama by mid-film and, by film's end, a feminist action fantasy."
-- Susan Stark, DETROIT NEWS

1.5/4  "You wonder why Enough wasn't just a music video rather than a full-length movie."
-- Steven Rosen, DENVER POST

  "It's a loathsome movie, it really is and it makes absolutely no sense."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER

  "Enough trivializes an important crisis, reduces it to an almost comic embarrassment."
-- Rex Reed, NEW YORK OBSERVER

2/4  "The film is flat."
-- Steven Rea, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

1.5/4  "The hackneyed story about an affluent damsel in distress who decides to fight her bully of a husband is simply too overdone."
-- Claudia Puig, USA TODAY

3/10  "The story is also as unoriginal as they come, already having been recycled more times than I'd care to count."
-- Jon Popick, PLANET SICK-BOY
