Awe-inspiringly, world-historically awful.

Reviews for Gigli
Top CriticTorture. Impossible to imagine how it could've been worse.
12/30/06
Top CriticIt's seriously terrible, and it'll teach everyone involved to read the script before they agree to make a film.
08/19/03
No, it's not the worst film ever made, but it is a sickening exercise in smugness and self-love.
07/21/09
Top Critic[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 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
Mitigating 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 CriticThe sexiest couple alive are really dopes! And Martin Brest proves it!
08/10/03
I love this movie. Has anything ever been so deliciously awful? Nothing says quality like J. Lo as a faux lesbian.
08/01/03
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
Gigli is so unrelentingly bad that people may want to see it just as a bonding experience; viewers (read: victims) will want to talk and comfort each other afterwards.
08/01/03
Brest would have to go back to his outline to repair this lemon and give America something akin to what it's told it really wants -- a helping of Lopez-Affleck home movies.
08/06/03
So misguided that sparks between the leads is the least of its worries.
07/30/03
Anyone on the Internet grapevine already has the news: Gigli is this summer's rotten egg.
08/01/03
This is not a great movie, but it isn't a bad one, either.
08/01/03
In a brief cameo, Christopher Walken sums up Affleck's screen presence when he tells Gigli: 'I know -- you don't know nothin'. I can tell just by lookin' at you.'
08/04/03
This isn't a good film, but, when set alongside the likes of Dumb and Dumberer and Legally Blonde 2, Jen & Ben offer less pain.
08/03/03
There are so many bad moments in Gigli, it's a shame to single out only a few.
07/31/03
In what may go down as the most embarrassing, imprudent attempt at sexy dialogue in the history of cinema... Lopez ask(s) to be orally pleasured with the line, "Turkey time! Gobble, gobble."
