A brilliant film that helped define a genre
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Things I would rather do than watch this movie ever again:1.) Smash my head on a boulder. 2.) Lick a gas station toilet seat.3.) Be attacked by a zombie. 4.) Send my paycheck to a Nigerian "prince" I met online. 5.) Make out with a chicken's butthole. 6.) Give myself a non-medicated root canal. 7.) Face off with a T-rex. 8.) Bathe with buffalo diarrhea. 9.) Swim in an active volcano. 10.) Eat aforementioned buffalo diarrhea. It's long. It's horrible. Just. Don't. Gosh dang it, I have to add more stuff because I have to add at least 10 lines of text. Hmmm.... TWO AND A HALF FREAKING HOURS WASTED! OH the things I could have accomplished. But no... It was wasted on this horrible, awful, insulting, narcissistic-filled piece of crap. J-Lo is a lesbian in the beginning, but of course, Ben Asshat "turns" her straight. GTFO here, Ben. Did they really have to go there? Really... I am going to leave it at that. This film has taken enough of my time, and by typing this review, I am just reliving the garbage memories.
After years have passed since Gigli has been released, and within the constant media and critics hate towards the film. One has decided to settle and watch the film. Gigli was released in 2003 during the peak of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's romance career, and many have dismissed the film's failures on them. The film had a massive budget of 54 million yet only made 7 million worldwide. One would consider this as a major reason for the film being as criticized.Gigli has a different sense of what is wants to be. Considered as a romantic crime comedy. The film does bring out several levels of romance in a predictable relationship with the leads. The plot is thin and the film does have several scenes which stretch out, yet could have been edited about 20 minutes shorter. Although even with its flaws, Gigli remains an entertaining watch, due to the fact that there are many unintentional funny and clever scenes. For such a crime gangster film, the ending does have a heart and tender feel about it. Many have dismissed the film as too violent, though there is only one really violent scene, as an unexpected jump scene. Lenghty cameo scenes are made by Christopher Walken and Al Pacino, in which some considered a saving point of the film.
I watched this movie tonight at Netflix to just finally find out how bad it was. This movie is great.A quarter into it I'm thinking "Ok, just when is it going to be bad?" And in walks Christopher Walken. Alright, not bad yet.The story kept me involved and all roles were acted so very well, from leading roles to Brian "the retared" and all others. Three quarters into it I'm trying to figure out when it will get bad and in walks Al Pacino who delivers big time.I sincerely think the only reason everyone hated this movie is because they didn't like the fact that Jennifer Lopez was a lesbian.
Gigli (2003): Dir: Martin Breast / Cast: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bartha, Al Pacino, Christopher Walken: Nauseating bag of horse sh*t that went through several titles until arriving at what Hollywood considers catchy. Originally it was suppose to be titled Tough Love, which would have made sense for Ben Affleck's struggle to deal with Jennifer Lopez's character as a lesbian, or the idea that they are both growing attached to their mentally challenged hostage. Instead we have jokes regarding the name Gigli, which do nothing to advance any form of plot device. Ben Affleck stars as a gangster ordered to do a kidnapping. Jennifer Lopez is sent to make sure everything goes well. Then the story caters to Affleck's difficulties in bedding her because she's a lesbian. Director Martin Breast's work here is about as creative as a drunk during happy hour. He previously directed Scent of a Woman and Beverly Hills Cop. There is unnecessary footage such as a visit from Lopez's lesbian lover. Affleck plays a complete ass and Lopez cannot convince viewers that she is even a lesbian. Justin Bartha fares better as the victim but his sentimental outcome is long predicted. Al Pacino's role is basically ten minutes of profanity, which is understandable given the film itself. Christopher Walken plays a detective and is another actor whose career is smudged with this film. The film should be cut to pieces and used as toilet paper. Score: 0 / 10
