Enough is a 2002 Hollywood movie. It could be argued that the movie is an attempt to demonstrate shortcomings in the law when it comes down to protecting victims of domestic violence. Jennifer Lopez recieved a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for worst actress for this movie. Enough starts when a man, Mitch, goes to a diner & defends a waitress, Slim, from a guy who had said some obscene comments to her. Eventually, Mitch & Slim fall in love. They get married & eventually, they have a baby girl, named Gracie. Mitch is a rich & powerful man, however & soon, Slim begins to discover a dark side to him. Mitch believes that his money & power will give him anything he wants & he believes that men are stronger than women. He starts to abuse Slim, beating her with his fist & threatening to kill her. When she goes to the cops for help, she finds out that the best thing cops can do on these cases is leave the crime committers in jail for a short period of time & let them go.

Many people hate to hear the words J-LO & FILM in the same sentence but this film proves that Ms Lopez can act just as well as she can sing & market her products!!!

Slim is a small town girl who suddenly meets Mr Right. In the heat of the moment they get married, buy the perfect house & have a baby. But when life seems to be getting too perfect she discovers her husband has been having an affair & when he discovers she knows he tells her to just deal with it because hes a man! After a while she refuses to take it so he starts hitting her & with some advice from her friends she realizes she has to take her child & leave but her husband wont let her get away that easily. He sends his guys after her who will go to any lengths to get Slim & the child back including murder. This forces Slim to realize the only way to get rid of her husband for good is to kill him before he kills her.

Jennifer Lopez really portrays the harsh reality of this situation many women throughout the world face. One reviewer said before that he would just leave & doesnt understand why all women who are abused dont just do that. Yeah well its a lot easier for you guys to get up & leave but for us this is the harsh reality. Sometimes a guy will let you go but many wont accept you leaving them because they get use to you looking after them. I have never been in Slims position but I was in her childs position when I was a teenager. My dad was identical to the husband & my mum was identical to Slim & believe me there were times when I was sure hed beaten her to death but she managed to get back up & protect me. Luckily hes now in jail.

A great film which appeals to everyone. Maybe some men will identify with Slims problems? After all I read the other day that the police dont take gay couples seriously, because most cops are homophobic idiots, but a lot of men run to them because theyre boyfriends are beating them up as well! And I hope some of the beaters are watching this because if it comes between choosing our own life between yours then it looks like well all be pulling a J-Lo on that one!
