Reviews for Gigli
There are moments that shine in Gigli, so let’s save the crucifixion for another production down the road.
08/08/03
Affleck and Lopez arelike a couple of well-groomed pets, two reasonably talented superstars from modest roots who enjoy the limelight so much, they've wagged their tails into a sea of overexposure.
08/08/03
Let's face it: Gigli is not one of the worst films ever made. The script sucks and suffers from too many edits, but don't take your envy out on J-Lo and Ben.
08/07/03
The cinematic equivalent of a three-car pile-up, this stupefyingly unfunny romantic/mob comedy is DOA from the opening credits to the bitter end.
08/07/03
For all the bad things said about Gigli, curiously no one has mentioned its musical score by John Powell. It’s one of the worst ever, like a sit-com laugh track pitched at the highest volume.
08/07/03
It's even more ghastly than its title may lead you to believe. And that's saying a lot.
08/06/03
Brest 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 CriticLike the Energizer Bunny this mess just keeps going and going. And that's my suggestion -- just keep going and going right past any screen inflicted with the Gigli disease.
08/06/03
From the very start the movie flatlines like a heart monitor on a dead man. And it never improves.
08/05/03
Martin Brest tries to do Mamet-style Hard-boiled dialogue, but ends up with "Turkey Time."
08/05/03
Has no story, no redeeming characters that anyone could care about, and the actors are all on autopilot, completely soaked with their own vanity.
08/05/03
This movie just makes no sense!
08/05/03
The film is flat and lumpy, like a balloon waiting to be inflated.
08/05/03
A grade-A misfire, fantastically uninvolving, a cinematic train wreck of slacked-jawed, distinguished proportions. Read on for more fun...
08/05/03
Why Gigli is getting so widely lambasted from other critics, I do not know. [It] may not be a life-changing motion picture, but it is always likable. Most of all, and most importantly, it has a good heart.
08/05/03
...Gigli marks Affleck's most enjoyable performance outside of a Kevin Smith film...
08/04/03
In a brief cameo, Christopher Walken sums up Affleck's screen presence when he tells Gigli: 'I know -- you don't know nothin'. I can tell just by lookin' at you.'
08/04/03
[O]ne of the worst movies I've ever seen.
08/04/03
Top CriticSinks embarrassing comedy to a new low.
