No, it's not the worst film ever made, but it is a sickening exercise in smugness and self-love.

Reviews for Gigli
Top CriticTorture. Impossible to imagine how it could've been worse.
12/30/06
Top CriticMitigating factors: a carefully curated sampling of J-Lo butt cleavage, and an arrhythmic Christopher Walken cameo which momentarily diverts the doomed ship from collision with the iceberg.
02/09/06
Top CriticAwe-inspiringly, world-historically awful.
01/15/04
Top CriticIt tries a valiant effort to be smart and edgy, and feels like something that's always edging at greatness but never quite managing to break on through.
10/12/03
[You] realise that having your skin flayed by a potato peeler would be less painful.
09/24/03
Top CriticThe rumours are true, this is one of the worst films of the year.
09/20/03
It's seriously terrible, and it'll teach everyone involved to read the script before they agree to make a film.
08/19/03
Writer/director Martin Brest ("Scent of a Woman") combines romance, comedy, and crime in a movie that will forever be blamed for bringing together Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
05/26/09
This is a derivative, cliché awful film with terrible performances, embarrassing dialogue, and a plot that goes nowhere fast.
04/29/09
I can't call Gigli a misunderstood masterwork, but I'm not ashamed to say I enjoyed it.
02/14/08
Brief but flamboyant cameos by Christopher Walken and Al Pacino helped keep me distracted from the noble intentions and the silliness.
03/06/07
Gigli isn't the equivalent of cracking a whippit, but it is irredeemably flawed
03/16/06
Apart from the notoriety of their relationship, there isn't much else going for this movie.
09/30/05
I can't say that I enjoyed watching Gigli but it certainly was an instructive lesson in how good ideas can go horribly wrong.
03/05/05
Famous rich people can't just go to Glamour Shots to satisfy their appetites for amour-propre...
01/27/05
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez ... each spend several shocking minutes expounding upon the wonders of their own nether regions.
09/20/04
The first half is an unfunny drag, with a few uncomfortable laughs provided by a retarded man. The last half is a tragedy.
07/07/04
Gigli looks like a movie that writer-director Martin Brest made up on the spot.
06/23/04
Brest inserts little wrinkles in an attempt to wash away the clichés, but all he achieves is taking an already wretched script to new depths.
