AppId is over the quota
The trailer for "Enough Said," which features James Gandolfini in his final role before his death in June, hit the web earlier this week and we have to say -- we're excited.
Gandolfini stars as a divorced dad opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays a divorced massage therapist and his love interest. However, their courtship hits a bump in the road after Louis-Dreyfus realizes that one of her clients is Gandolfini's ex-wife. Talk about drama!
The film's writer and director, Nicole Holofcener, issued a statement about Gandolfini's performance in the film following his death.
"He played a divorced dad who doted on his daughter and was crazy about Julia's character," Holofcener told The Hollywood Reporter. "He didn't believe he could play a romantic lead, even though everyone on the set thought he was sexy and hilarious. He was charming and self-effacing and incredibly talented. Not only did he pull off playing a leading man, his performance is subtle and moving and very, very lovely."
The film premiers in limited release on Sept. 20. Do you plan to see it? Let us know in the comments!
