Enough is a 2002 American thriller film starring Jennifer Lopez as Slim, an abused wife who learns to fight back.
The film begins in a Los Angeles restaurant, where the main character, a waitress named Slim, works there with her best friend, Ginny. Slim receives unwelcome romantic advances from a customer who complemented her on her slim figure, but is rescued by a guy named Mitch Hiller. They later marry and have a daughter named Gracie. A few years later, Slim finds out that Mitch is unfaithful and was cheating on her with another woman named Darcelle (who is slimmer than Slim). When she confronts him, he tells her the other women meant nothing. But Slim's sadness turns to anger and she threatens to leave. Mitch becomes violent, slapping and punching her in the face. He tells her that since he makes the money, he gets to do what he wants. He says he will not break the affair off and she has to deal with that, unless she was to fight. When he leaves, she picks up the phone to call his mother. He taps on the window when he catches her, asking her who she's calling, and why. She says she's calling his mother, but lies when she gives her reasons. He believes her, and leaves. When Slim approaches her mother-in-law about the incident, she asks Slim what she had done to make Mitch angry, indicating that Mitch's behavior isn't a surprise to her. Slim then goes and talks to Ginny. Ginny tells her she should leave, but Slim isn't sure. When she goes to pick Gracie up from school, her teacher says that Gracie was already picked up by her father. She panics and goes home. The house is empty. She calls Mitch, who tells her that Gracie is with him at the zoo. He hints to her that he can get to Gracie as easy as she can. At dinner that night, he tells her he knew she told his mother, but he stays civil on the count of Gracie being present. Slim decides that enough is enough, and plans to escape.
