Editorial Review:
Small-time street hood Gigli (Ben Affleck) has a reputation for big-time screw-ups. Ricki (Jennifer Lopez) is a tough gal gangster. When they're paired together on an assignment that careens wildly out of control will they find a way to work through their personal differences and work out their mutual attraction? Directed by Martin Brest (Scent of a Woman) GIGLI is a high-octane romantic comedy that packs serious heat!System Requirements:Running Time: 121 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 043396087576 Manufacturer No: 08757
Description of Gigli:
Many critics called Gigli one of the worst movies ever made, but their condemnation isn't entirely justified. The movie's got plenty of problems, such as inconsistent tone, gag-inducing dialogue, and a meandering plot that fails to generate momentum over 124 minutes. And yet, this character-based vehicle for Hollywood sweethearts Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez is not without its charms: To begin with, there's J-Lo, whose beauty and presence flourish despite her ill-conceived role as a lesbian contract killer. Critics were also wrong in saying Lopez lacks on-screen chemistry with her off-screen beau; there are moments when they click, but director Martin Brest's screenplay maintains sexual confusion right up to an ending that's a total cop-out. Affleck (who did the lesbian-love thing in Chasing Amy) plays another good-natured killer, and their joint kidnapping job (involving the mentally disabled brother of a federal prosecutor) is destined to fail for all the right reasons, even as this anti-romantic comedy (featuring scenery-chewing cameos by Christopher Walken and Al Pacino) fails for all the wrong ones. --Jeff Shannon
Gigli Reviews:
ONE OF THE GREATEST CINAMATIC EXPERIENCES THAT I HAVE WATCHED IN YEARS 
2008-03-20 - Where do I start. The acting, the well written script - innovative writing mind you. You can feel the passion of the film maker. And the Direction was flawless. Ben and Jen were obviously at the top of there game. Superb acting...Thank you very much. Oh,and the cinematography was outstanding, the way it came through on my HD set. Oh my.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for gigli!!
2007-10-03 - So everyone complains about this movie, right?!?
It's actually PRETTY GOOD.
Christopher Walken is always good, Ben Affleck looks great in black leather (as always) and JLo is ok.
My favorite Ben Affleck movie 
2007-09-27 - "Reindeer Games" is my favorite Ben Affleck movie because in it he gets repeatedly punched in the face.
Worth It For The Yoga Scene! 
2007-07-21 - You know, so much has been said regarding Gigli being a worthless piece of garbage...and well, it almost is, what saves it for me is, first off I LOVE Lainie Kazan. She is a legend and still beautiful woman. Aside from the fabulous Ms Kazan, is that gloriously sexy scene between Afleck and Lopez where they are debating over the female vs male body. Now THAT scene alone was worth the entire movie admission for me! For the record everything Lopez' character said in that scene is 100% correct! The movie could not win any awards for great acting, but, take it for what it's worth and you'll have fun.
so bad it's good! 
2007-07-10 - ok. so i'm one of the people that got this movie (i purchased it) for just a little mor ethen i could have rented it. and seriously, i've seen it about 6 times now! this movie is not as horrible as everyone says. there are some redeaming moments, some cute, some legitamately funny. but this movie really is so bad it's good. it's one of those movies that you should get drunk with friends and watch. make it a double feature with "dirty love"!
