Sympathetic remark not good enough? (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

too bad

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enough?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'sympathetic remark not good' is the wordplay.
'sympathetic remark' becomes 'too' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'not good' becomes 'bad' (bad is the opposite of good).
'too'+'bad'='TOO BAD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for too bad that I've seen before include "regrettably" , "Informally regrettable - excessively wicked" , "Informally regrettable, a pity" , "What a pity, hard luck" , "I have no sympathy" .)
