'Enough Said' is Full of Wit and Humor

I loved Nicole Holofcener's witty and wise romantic comedy "Enough Said" for many reasons. Here are the top three:

1. It recognizes that in relationships, people are neither good nor bad, but a combination of positive and negative attributes. There are, however, good and bad combinations of people, and romantic chemistry remains one of the great unexplained mysteries of the universe.

2. It contains my favorite dialogue of 2013 so far.
The main characters — two middle-aged divorced parents with daughters about to leave for college — talk the way two real middle-aged divorced parents with daughters about to leave for college talk. A little wittier perhaps, but direct and unguarded. These adults don't have time to hide their feelings and second-guess themselves the way younger dating couples do.

3. After a long career playing gangsters, thugs and heavies, the late James Gandolfini finally gets to play his most endearing character: a regular guy named Albert, a slightly overweight, self-admitted slob with no pretenses or hidden agendas.
