February
23, 2002 - Entertainment Tonight will premiere the trailer to 'Enough'
tonight and they spoke with Jennifer Lopez from the set of the film to
talk about her character. J.Lo said of the role about a woman in an abusive
relationship, "It's so funny because one of the things I found in doing
research is women say, 'I can't believe this is happening to me, this can
happen to anybody, you can be in a situation and fall in love and just
give yourself away and be so enamored with someone, and then you find yourself
in this pattern where you can't get out.' It becomes this type of thing
where you start hating yourself in a way and you can't break the pattern.
It becomes something more internal. That is what this movie is about, letting
people know it can be done ... it takes a lot of hard work emotionally
and in this case physically but it's about giving hope and that is why
I wanted to even do this film." Read more.
