We rate J. Lo’s performance in ”Enough”

PREMISE Lopez is a waitress who learns that her wealthy husband is a Sleeping With the Enemy-like abusive control freak and that the only way she can escape him is by taking self-defense classes and fighting her way out.

LOVE INTEREST Once and Again sensitive guy Billy Campbell, playing very much against type as the husband from hell

OVERBEARING FATHER FIGURE Estranged dad Fred Ward

HER CHARACTER’S ANCESTRY Unspecified

MEMORABLE MOMENT The most unforgettable thing here is Lopez’s unfortunate mop-like hairdo

WHAT EW SAID Lopez fails to ”come alive as an actress” and ”looks bored throughout most of the picture,” which is ”a bogeyman horror film in sociological drag — I Know You Married an Abusive Creep Last Summer.”
