Brief but flamboyant cameos by Christopher Walken and Al Pacino helped keep me distracted from the noble intentions and the silliness.

Reviews for Gigli
Top CriticThe stars display zip chemistry, but seem to find themselves adorable. They're so taken with each other they don't need an audience.
08/19/03
Top CriticShapeless and without a shred of originality, the movie mimics and copies pieces of a number of old movies, all superior in every way.
08/15/03
Top CriticBrest would have to go back to his outline to repair this lemon and give America something akin to what it's told it really wants -- a helping of Lopez-Affleck home movies.
08/06/03
Top Critic[O]ne of the worst movies I've ever seen.
08/04/03
Top CriticThis isn't a good film, but, when set alongside the likes of Dumb and Dumberer and Legally Blonde 2, Jen & Ben offer less pain.
08/03/03
Top CriticAn enjoyably written and performed romantic comedy.
08/01/03
Top CriticIt is an exquisitely bad movie: One to be savoured, marvelled over, shared with friends and generally appreciated in a state of awestruck wonder. Gourmet fromage.
08/01/03
Top CriticThe most thoroughly joyless and inept film of the year, and one of the worst of the decade.
08/01/03
Top CriticSuch an utter wreck of a movie you expect to see it lying on its side somewhere in rural Pennsylvania, with a small gang of engineers circling and a wisp of smoke rising from the caboose.
08/01/03
Top CriticAn inept attempt to do Elmore Leonard by Martin Brest, a filmmaker whose coarse sensibility makes him catastrophically unqualified to the task.
08/01/03
Top CriticRarely has a movie that doesn't star Madonna achieved such a skin-crawling mixture of deluded preening and bungled humour.
08/01/03
Top CriticIts awkward Rain Man- meets-gangsters- in-love plot lurches forward with such clumsiness it's hard to believe writer/director Martin Brest avoided seeing this thing flushed direct-to-video.
08/01/03
Top CriticAn overlong, joyless, and inconsequential affair, full of dead air, and possessing only a few moments of jaw-dropping bad taste.
08/01/03
Top CriticGuys, I'm telling you: Don't go to this movie! It's Chasing Amy with guns! You're walking into a trap!
08/01/03
Top CriticGigli makes a bid for that rare honor: The movie so bad it's good. It falls short.
08/01/03
Top CriticI wonder what would happen if you sweated 15 minutes out of this movie. Maybe it would work. The materials are there.
08/01/03
Top CriticAch. Oy. Woe and poo, bleccch and uck! ZZZZZ-zzz.
08/01/03
Top CriticThe movie tries too hard to be edgy, to work as a sweet romance, yet lacks the courage to push as hard as it needs to.
07/31/03
Top CriticWhat emerges is desperate -- and occasionally offensive -- salaciousness merged with corny, predictable jokes.
