This is not a great movie, but it isn't a bad one, either.

Reviews for Gigli
A mess of a movie that film-goers will stumble through as surely as they'll stumble over the ill-conceived title.
08/01/03
The movie is pretty much as bad as you've heard, a tangle of badness so thick it's hard to hack your way through and find the good idea that made writer/director Martin Brest think this was a story worth telling.
08/01/03
An inexplicable non-comedy whose chief virtue is its lack of screwball histrionics.
08/01/03
It's a catastrophic miscalculation of tone, a comatose comedy about mental illness, contract killers and corpse desecration.
08/01/03
As with Madonna's Swept Away you're left baffled by how the thing was ever made.
08/01/03
Such 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.

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 CriticLopez and Affleck should fire their agents. Or take a long, hard look at themselves in the mirror.

If you’re going to skip one film this year – make it “Gigli.”
08/01/03
It's too long and far too contrived for such slight material, but it's far more entertaining than a long list of recent films.
08/01/03
A hoot. A fluffy hoot, but a hoot.
08/01/03
Rarely 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
Despite all the reshoots, rewrites, re-edits and other changes, this is one awful movie.
08/01/03
Kudos to Brest, and to Affleck and Lopez, who deliver -- although that delivery is exactly the opposite of what their fans, and their disbelievers, expect to receive.
08/01/03
An overlong, joyless, and inconsequential affair, full of dead air, and possessing only a few moments of jaw-dropping bad taste.
08/01/03
Gigli is so unrelentingly bad that people may want to see it just as a bonding experience; viewers (read: victims) will want to talk and comfort each other afterwards.
08/01/03
...a walking, talking People cover story.
08/01/03
Gigli is a traffic accident you can't keep your eyes off of. If you have a taste for morbid curiosity, go see it.
