Boring
... View MoreToo much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreI will say this, in terms of celebrities, I do like Jennifer Lopez. However, this movie is really awful. I don't even know where they were going with this or what they were trying to get at. Essentially, they kidnap a guy with a disability under duress from a mobster, and then practically nothing happens. I'm serious. Yes, there is the whole "finger" thing but they can't even make that dynamic. After that it's pretty much just pointless scene after pointless scene until the sex scene between Lopez and Affleck. This movie reminds me of Super Mario Brothers in terms of how much time it wastes doing nothing and being boring. And the end, pretty uneventful. It reminds me of one of the things I've learned as a b-movie watcher. Almost anyone can handle a bad horror or sci-fi movie, but only b-movie warriors should watch bad comedies.
... View MoreThings 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.
... View MoreAfter 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.
... View MoreI haven't even seen this film before, but I already agree with most critics that this is easily one of the worst movies ever made. I'm not much of a Jennifer Lopez fan, but I do like Ben Affleck for starring in Argo, which I really loved. If you even own this film on VHS or DVD, I highly recommend you use an ax or a hammer to smash your tape without hurting yourself if you have the VHS, or if you have a DVD, break your disc in half with your foot while wearing shoes. I would also recommend you do the same thing with DVDs of movies like Daddy Day Care, Are We There Yet, Fat Albert, Kangaroo Jack, Honey We Shrunk Ourselves, Camp Rock, The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2, Hannah Montana The Movie, Cheaper by the Dozen 2, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, Open Season, Happily 'N' Ever After and others that I hate (not the live-action version of The Cat in the Hat with Mike Myers though, because that film I personally enjoy). This would probably be the worst movie ever made that I've heard of. PLEASE DO NOT EVEN RENT IT! IT'S ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!
