If one has to find something positive to say about Gigli, it would have to be this: at least it isn’t likely to spawn a sequel.

Reviews for Gigli
How any relationship could be expected to survive after Gigli is a mystery. So if you're thinking of bringing someone for the laugh, be prepared to go home alone.

Consider the missed opportunities here. Two attractive stars, a supporting cast that one would dream of, and a director with solid credentials. Didn’t anyone read the script before making it?

Just a waste that deserves to be forgotten rather than attacked.

If, as Shakespeare once suggested, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, a Gigli by any other name would still stink up the multiplex but good. ...

Gigli certainly isn't the worst film of the year, as it has been made out to be, but it does make one wonder if the lynch mob mentality against certain cinematic endeavors isn't at least a little deserved.

Since it's unlikely Brest's original will ever see the light of day again, I feel a need to describe the differences in this cut to prove that it once added up to something...

The stars display zip chemistry, but seem to find themselves adorable. They're so taken with each other they don't need an audience.
08/19/03
It will be of interest as a fascinating historical curio because it so fully embodies the paradoxical nature of stardom in the early years of the 21st century.
08/17/03
Shapeless and without a shred of originality, the movie mimics and copies pieces of a number of old movies, all superior in every way.
08/15/03
It ain't that bad.
08/15/03
There was more wrong with this unconventional romantic comedy than right.

Marriage tip No. 2: Unless desiring to sleep on the sofa with the dog, do not begin discussions of sex with wife by saying, "It's turkey time. Gobble, gobble."
08/13/03
Even when it doesn’t work it remains more entertaining than a lot of tidier flicks.
08/13/03
Because of its humble proficiency, seriousness of intent and sexual adventurousness, it's become the unfortunate pariah of a film culture that expects Hollywood to turn out only gee-whiz showiness and superficial plays at emotion.
08/11/03
There were tons of worse movies this year. Maybe this is like comparing Saddam Hussein to Hitler, but Gigli isn't just the lesser of two evils, or three, or four.
08/11/03
The sexiest couple alive are really dopes! And Martin Brest proves it!
08/10/03
The movie is bafflingly boring and ridiculous.
08/09/03
Disregard the negative buzz: Gigli is woeful but not disastrous.
08/09/03
This film isn’t bad enough to be a must see and isn’t good enough to be one either.
