Gigli

I like the movie because it’s funny, it’s a comedy & it proves Ben Affleck is a versatile actor.The actor that played the part of the mentally challenged character was exceptional in playing his role & even though Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez we’re harshly criticized for the movie panning out at the theaters, they both had a heart of gold & very much cared about the mentally challenged character.

I love this movie. It's funny and cute. I don't know why it doesn't have a bigger following. I find myself quoting it often enough, on par with "Night at the Roxbury".

NO SPOILERS AT ALLActually you should see this movie to see how bad a movie can get...True, this is one of heck of a mess of a movie. The acting, characters, script, story are a total mess. However, it's NOT the worst film every made. There were some funny and clever moments, I am embarrassed to admit to laughing a few times. I rented this movie, I watched it in 4 different 30 minute segments. Breaking it up made it more easy to digest. I couldn't imagine doing it all in one viewing. It's so bizarre and quirky and goofy you can't just watch it in one sitting. It's only okay in limited doses. I recommend this movie to see just how cheesy and lame a film can be. It is cinematic gold to see such a bizarre and strangely done film that leaves you scratching your head wondering what they were thinking. It is quite boring by the way. Some of the dialogue is quit graphic and vulgar so be warned. It is fun seeing such A list actors in such a nonsense film. There is some nice footage of Southern California.

It really is quite astounding how bad this movie really is. First things last, I was blown away to find out that Martin Brest wrote & directed this mess. Midnight Run happens to be one of my favorite films of all-time. Gigli actually tries to be Midnight Run on more than one occasion, along with Rain Man, Chasing Amy and any number of Elmore Leonard filcks. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are atrocious. Affleck's Brooklyn by-way-of Boston accent is comical. His scene where he's flexing his muscles for a closet mirror is grounds for black-listing. And I'm not even going to elaborate on his come-ons to Lopez. She's not quite as bad, but her speeches on the female anatomy and "people skills" couldn't have been written by a human. Then there's Al Pacino and Christopher Walken. Hoo-ahhh! Pacino's just plain awful - a completely stupid, over-the-top performance than he's been giving us more often than not lately (and yes, that includes Brest's Scent of a Woman, a completely overrarted film). As far as Walken, he basically regurgitates his True Romance-Bluloo Boyle speech, then suddenly starts talking in some strange alien language where I honestly needed sub-titles. And then he was gone. There is so much wrong with Gigli, you could write a college thesis on the subject. I haven't even touched upon the mentally disabled character. The music. Gigli's boss. I haven't even scratched the surface. But let this be said. As far as bad movies go, this is right up there with the best (worst) of them...- cRAIG

This is a very silly ridiculous movie! It's funny - kind of offensive - but taken as pure comedy with no serious intentions, it's entertaining! I love Ben and Jen and Jen and Ben so I loved seeing them together!! Watch it if you love them, enjoy a few cameos, it is truly monologue after monologue - if you're here for Jen and Ben you will enjoy it! Otherwise it's just a silly movie to laugh at and see some dated stereotypical ideas - and also some progressive ideas!! Shot out to Thich Nhat Hanh book!! Enjoy!

Critics didn't speak well of this movie but it'd always been one of my favorites of J-Lo & Ben. It's silly and funny. Justin Bartha was too funny at playing the role of the special needs kid. The movie name - Gigli (rhymes with really) - is Ben Affleck's character. After seeing him in The Accountant, you may squirm at the chauvinistic-punk-boy-wanna-be-hit-man with an attitude you see him perform on this screen. But remember, it was done in 2003! Watch it!!!

This movie was destroyed by the critics but I’ve watched it many times and enjoyed it. J Lo NEVER looked so hot.

I wanted to see what was all the negative reviews about. Yes it’s slow. Yes it’s corny. A filmophilia, a movie buff would die. However, I love Bennifer, so I watched it. I’d never watch it again.
