Enough (2002)
Much much better than expected.
Anyone who saw the trailer of "Enough" would have easily guessed the whole plot and pre-rated it as a no more than 1 and a half star better- made-for-TV movie. I for one, couldn't help laughing at the idea of having J Lo practising martial art to avenge the psychotic husband (Jennifer Jason Leigh would have been a better choice).
After watching however, I must admit that it was unexpectedly well made, powerful and entertaining. We enjoyed every minute of it.
Certainly, there were many irrational loopholes to catch without any effort. ie: Why J Lo looked much slimmer after married especially when she changed her name from "Slim" (to hide her identity) and 5 time more attractive than the waitress who was courted some 5 year earlier? Why a sudden change of personality of Mitch (her husband)? (he preferred the chubby version, perhaps.) How possible that his police friend never showed up during her 4-5 years of happy marriage and didn't attend such big glamourous wedding?
Ignore all those and you'll find "Enough" worth every cent of the ticket.
I give it 3 stars.
Journey of the Heart (1997)
A modern version of "My Left Foot"
I watched it yesterday on Hallmark Channel as I am No.1 fan of Cybill Shepherd. (If not, I wouldn't bother for I hate to see any story about the misfortunate or handicapped.)
All in all, it's a well-made film and the story was well told though couldn't help reminding viewers of the award-winning "My Left Foot", the ingredients were the same. Jeremy Lelliott as Young Tony was marvellos.
I give it 2 and a half star.
