Critics Consensus

Bizarre and clumsily plotted, Gigli is a mess. As for its stars, Affleck and Lopez lack chemistry.

The serious problem with Gigli is the script.

Gigli won't be the worst movie to come out of Hollywood all year, but it's sure to be one of the most forgettable.

It's every bit as atrocious as you may have heard. Nay, worse.

Jennifer Lopez lights up the screen every time she's on it. Unfortunately, that's also to the movie's detriment, because from her first scene, she becomes the most interesting thing happening in any given moment.

Gigli is quite possibly one of the most challenging films to endure. Starring A-list celebrities Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, both typically known for their impressive work, this movie felt like a significant departure from their usual standards. Amid all the media frenzy surrounding their relationship at the time, one could speculate that they chose to collaborate on this project to further establish their status as a couple. However, we all know how that story unfolded. The screenplay, unfortunately, was poorly crafted, laden with disjointed elements and lacking a cohesive narrative. Instead of enhancing the actors' careers, it seemed to tarnish their legacies—thankfully, both have since found ways to bounce back. It's apparent that the director lacked a clear vision for the film, opting instead to go along with whatever direction seemed convenient due to the star power of the lead actors.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Yes, this 5 star rating is ironic. Yes, I only watched this movie because it appears on every single list of terrible movies and I consider myself to be an expert on that particular subject. Yes, this film contains one of the most unsubtle and offensive portrayals of a neurodivergent person that I've ever seen in my entire life. But, having said that, me and my girlfriend had a lot of fun watching it, and the idea that such terrible American films have an 80 plus percentage rating on this Godforsaken website while this film only has a 6%, may in fact be proof that an uneducated democracy is entirely pointless. I would rather watch this than see a single Marvel movie ever made again.

This was the first movie I ever walked out on. I have nothing constructive to add but my utter disdain for what garbage hollywood puts out.
