Summary: JLo and Affleck Fans Only Need to Watch
Review: I've heard many bad things about "Gigli" including countless jokes, but I decided to give it a try. The first hour was plain awful. A true story line seemed to be missing. In the second hour it picks up a bit. Larry Gigli (Ben Affleck) is an LA gangster who is given orders to kidnap a mentally challenge man. Since his boss does not completely trust in his abilities, he hires Ricki (Jennifer Lopez) another contract gangster to keep an eye on Larry. After the kidnapping, the two find that the kidnapped man (Justin Bartha) is the younger brother of a Federal Prosecutor which translates to real hot water for them. Larry who believes himself to be the epitome of a man is disappointed to find out that Ricki is a lesbian. Regardless, he tries his best to impress her. The best scene is when Ricki doing yoga and Larry are discussing what is more desirable the male or female form. During their time together, Larry and Ricki due develop a relationship. In addition, Larry develops an affection for the mentally disabled man. If you are strictly a Ben Affleck or Jennifer Lopez fan or both, you will like this film. Justin Bartha's performance is wonderful. There are even cameos by Christopher Walkin and Al Pacino.

Summary: Gigli- Whoa! (Not in a Good Way)
Review: Gigli, the highly unsuccessful film of 2003 has been called so many horrible things, there is no need for me to list them. I honestly had some hope for this film when I saw trailers for it, because I never pictured it to be this bad. Also the film had a fine director, Martin Brest who made such critically acclaimed films as Scent of a Woman and Midnight Run along with Beverly Hills Cop. Ben Affleck amazingly gave a watchable performance as Larry Gigli, a mobster. Jennifer Lopez plays Ricki, Larry's love interest who turns out to be a lesbian. The plot of this film could actually be called original but it just isn't a bit appealling. It was also very boring and not at all entertaining.
Gigli rated R for Pervasive Language, Sexual Content and Brief Strong Violence. The film contains non-stop profanity, infact according to People magazine, the f-word is used 75 times. The sexuality is reasonable, mainly one semi-explict sexual situation and sexual innuendo but no nudity. The violence includes a point-blank shooting and a cut off thumb.
Not at all worth seeing, I sadly saw it in theatres in addition to 3 other people. I wonder what will become of Martin Brest's reputation as a film director, it looks like he should make a movie based on a bestseller instead of writing something from the top of his head or maybe he should've casted other actors besides Ben & Jen. In a way I feel bad for him but I feel more disappointed in myself having lost a precious 2 hours of my life. Definetly winner of worst film of 2003 or at least a solid nominee. Funny this is there were other films in 2003 which did worst then Gigli and no one even noticied them. These films include, Marci X, which only made $900,000. Grind which made $2.6 million. The Order also performed at the box-office taking in about $4.3 million. Other flops included, My Boss's Daugther, Dumb & Dumberer & Duplex. So all in all there have been films that have been much worse then Gigli. Gigli taking in only $3.8 million and costing an astounding $54 million to make which will be remembered as one of the worse films ever made. Is it possible the duplicate the success of Gigli, who knows? All I can say is let's just pray for Ben & Jen in their next film together caller Jersey Girl, which is written & directed by Kevin Smith. So it should actually deliver some laughs, but well we'll just have to wait until February.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Time on Gigli --"really."
Review: Yeah, leave it to me to be such a loser as to rent Jennifer Lopez's and Ben Affleck's new romantic comedy, Gigli, as a joke and then to have to have the audacity to write a review about it and then post it boastfully online for the world to read. Who am I kidding, "as a joke?" I know as well as you do that I am pathetic and sad, and really only asked the guy behind the counter at Blockbuster, "Is it as awful as everybody says it is?" so I could save some face. Clearing that out of the air, this movie really is bad. Go figure. Yes, Gigli [rhymes with "really"--they mention this at least three times, as if they thought it were clever or something], has got an awful plot, awful acting, and, yes, awful casting. Ben Affleck has got to be one of the worst actors out there, and he also has one of the worst personalities I've ever seen in movies. Of course he thought that his "gangsta" Bostonian accent would work and would be really sexy, but it didn't and it wasn't. Jennifer Lopez, sorry to say, was actually the saving grace of the film--unlike Affleck, she could handle her lines without sounding like a retard and was also far more likable. I say to the writer of this movie, "Never write another screenplay ever again. You totally suck ass." Whoever that loser is, he intersperses "big words" into sentences that don't deserve them and also is guilty of beating the dead horse by bringing up jokes that made you laugh with embarrassment the first time around. The plot is nonexistent and sad--not worth your time [Is she a lesbian? Does she like him? Will they get together?]. Yeah. Hey, Ben! I hated this movie the first time I saw it, when it was called "Chasing Amy." You know what I want to know? Why Christopher Walken and Al Pacino make cameos in this movie? Did they think it was going to be really good? Did everybody? We will never know. Oh, yeah. Whoever that Louis guy that always rings the phone is also an awful actor and is completely unworthy of being in any movie--well, come to think of it, he sort of fits into the troupe of losers that makes up the cast and crew of Gigli. So, in closing, don't waste your time on Gigli--"really."

Summary: and the winner for worst movie of the year is...
Review: when i saw the preview for this movie, gigli, i thought hey it doesnt look so bad, it looks kinda good. well i was definately wrong! right when this movie came out everyone was saying it sucked, it was horrible, adn just not at all good. So i had to see for myself, and they were all right, it was horrible, ,and not even the least bit good. all it is is a voulgar, violent gangster movie with one of the dumbest plots ever! i think they should have an award show for the movies that bombed, this would definately win worst picture of the year! now no one wants to see a j-lo movie ever again, who knows the next one could be an oscar winner, but this one....not at all! by the way, i only gave it one star b/c -1 wasnt on there..

Summary: Once upon a time....
Review: Once upon a time, there were two young friends who struggled together to reach success in the movie industry. It finally reached them with the screenplay for a movie called Good Will Hunting (1997), that earned them the Oscar for best screenplay. Their names were Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Damon, clearly the best actor of them both, chose to continue his career carefully chosing his next movies. Affleck, on the other hand, seems to have been bitten by the infectious virus of fame and money, opting for starring only in utterly commercial and wanna be blockbusters movies, like Pearl Harbor, Armageddon, etc, where he simply did not need to act. His wooden face and good looking was enough. I thinkg he was the perfect actor for GODZILLA, instead of Matthew Broderick....(just joking)

This GIGLI, a shame of a movie, is the culmination of his money-oriented decisions, but this time it failed, because people clearly could see that the movie had no resemblance of a screenplay at all, and was only rushed to make profit from the recent affair between Affleck and Lopez.

Summary: A deserved failure
Review: Ben "Wooden" Affleck and Jennifer "Clever Girl" Lopez imagined that their beauty and the gossip they generate would be enough to sell loads of tickets of this turkey in the theaters. Well, it did not, beucause a decent screenplay is still the best way to sell tickets.

And this movie simply does not have a decent screenplay. It's so bad it's almost unbearable to watch.

The result: one of the greatest failures at the box office ever.

Summary: Like Chewing on Tinfoil or a Urinary Tract Infection
Review: A previous reviewer complained that this film is seldom reviewed on the basis of its own merit. Well, that's because it has none, and the idea that people would be down on it due to latent homophobia regarding J.Lo's lesbian character is idiotic. If anything that would drag people into the kill zone of this bomb in hopes of seeing Lopez in some girl/girl action. Everything about this picture is cumbersome. The script is awful, which should have been a red flag, the acting is wooden(and as much as celebrity couples annoy me I don't think that Bennifer are THAT bad, in other films that is), lousy jokes and the mentally challenged boy angle is just hateful. The photography and the soundtrack don't work either. The DVD also continues no extras at all, how's that for confidence; it should have included a featurette on how to transform a Boston Irish guy into a bad caricature of a New York Italian wiseguy(Hey Ben, mafia guys don't refer to themselves as "pimp mack daddy", OK?). Does not even fall into the "so bad it's good" category. Did Lopez and Affleck need the money that bad?
