Nicole Holofcener’s Enough Said begins so promisingly with abundant charm and humor and wit that one feels almost betrayed when it begins to deteriorate about halfway through into a conventional middle-aged romantic comedy with its secrets and lies masquerading as inventive plotting. With a central character who is old enough and wise enough to know better behaving so idiotically, the movie loses viewer empathy and thus feels incomplete by the end. It’s a shame since there are first-rate components here which could have made the movie something really special.
