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!

Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep star as estranged Exs in a bitter custody battle over their son. But what makes this Academy-Award winning heartbreaker the gold-standard for divorce flicks, says Tracy, a divorcee I spoke with in New Mexico, is that it gives you hope people are going to come together to do the right thing.

Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are incandescent in this classic romantic comedy about a divorced couple who are still crazy about each other despite their legal split. One barrier to them working it out: Hepburn’s impending nuptials to another man. Two divorced men in a book group in Northern California explained that watching Grant try to get Hepburn back is a lovely reminder that true love works out in the end.

Robin Williams is winning as an unemployed voice actor whose world is upended when his wife (Sally Field) divorces him, separating him from his three beloved children. In an attempt to spend time with them, he disguises himself as Mrs. Doubtfire—a 60-year-old British housekeeper that Field hires to watch over the brood. A woman I spoke with in Los Angeles compares it to Tootsie (the divorced dad version). Added bonus: it has you rooting for a new kind of happily-ever-after.

Michael Douglas has never been better than as the pot-smoking, writer-blocked, deeply indecisive professor who over one weekend not only has to contend with his wife leaving him, but also with an ultimatum from his married and pregnant lover (the magical Frances McDormand.) Based on the novel by Michael Chabon, Wonder Boys takes a look at what happens when you lose everything. A friend, newly separated, adds that it also helps you find yourself.

Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas are the Roses: a couple who fell in love while bidding on the same antique. Now they are willing to kill each other for it. Too many people to count listed this black comedy as their favorite divorce flick. Sometimes a little fight over a chandelier soothes the soul…

Former HBO Exec Chris Albrecht: James Gandolfini 'Changed My Life'

Tony Soprano was a TV game changer.

Without "The Sopranos," there would arguably be no "Breaking Bad," no "Mad Men," no "Dexter" and no "Game of Thrones." The HBO mob drama, fronted by the late James Gandolfini, raised the bar, leading the entertainment industry to see that small screen content could be as good as if not better than the more prestigious movie medium.

Current Starz CEO Chris Albrecht was a big part of that transformative stage of TV at HBO as the cable network's former chairman and CEO. His leadership ushered in a wide-range of critically acclaimed series for HBO like "Sex and the City," "Six Feet Under," "Band of Brothers," "The Wire" and, of course, "The Sopranos."

While at the Television Critics Association Summer 2013 press tour on Friday, Albrecht opened up about the actor who died in June and was a big part of his HBO glory days. "James Gandolfini was part of years and an experience that changed my life and changed the life of everyone intimately involved in it," Albrecht told the press during a Starz panel. "I remember the first time I saw him -- I will never forget it. He was extremely talented. I have said it before -- nobody will ever be better at anything than James was in 'The Sopranos.' He will be missed. He was a very nice man."

Michael C. Hall -- who currently plays the titular character on Showtime's "Dexter" and who also was part of "Six Feet Under's" ensemble cast on HBO during "The Sopranos" era -- opened up about his connection to Gandolfini in a recent interview with The Huffington Post. "I certainly was really saddened and rocked to hear that James Gandolfini had died. ['The Sopranos'] meant such a great deal to me, and it really did signify what some people are calling the Golden Age of serialized cable programming," he noted. "I felt like 'The Sopranos' was like the big firstborn high achieving child, and 'Six Feet Under' felt like we were sort of the artistic black sheep. But I certainly admired him, and part of the thrill of working on 'Six Feet Under' was that I was going to work on the network that produced 'The Sopranos,' because I was a huge fan of that show."
