Critics Consensus

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

This movie is more to showcase Ben affleck and Jennifer Lopez than anything else. The script is not the greatest, and perhaps a bit too lazy: all in all not concerned about reality but rather concerned about showing their relationship. Al Pacino's scene is of a different caliber, but it cannot rescue the movie.

Ironically the funniest thing I have ever seen , just a mix of the worst actors that happen to be good looking ( a common thing in Hollywood )

It's Bad but in a Boring type of way. This isn't an unhinged train wreck or nonsensical. Honestly I've seen MUCH worse. But yeah pretty much everything fundamentally is subpar. The camerawork is actually good and the best thing along with Pacino being decent for only one scene. And the music is ok when used. Problem is the cons FAR outweigh the Positives here. Lopez and Affleck have chemistry that evokes back to the worst Burton/Taylor movies. Lopez I honestly can't tell if she's miscast, her characters backstory is written stupid, or a bit of both. But the acting is just subpar. Most of the time it feels like the kid is forgotten about and I have no idea why he had to be mentally challenged because it really never comes up as a plot point. This feels like a screwball plot and bad crime movie that can't work together at all. The settings are never memorable, the dumb rap numbers are so out of place, the music isn't used enough. SOOOOO many scenes feel dry, lifeless, and uninteresting and the music would help big time. The biggest strike is the several elements of the plot make no sense. Why he's Handicapped, Why is she a lesbian, why does she drive off with him when they have no chemistry, how is she a hired gun. The crime element feels terribly executed and poorly written. It's almost forgotten about at times while Affleck & Lopez "Bond". But the thing is they really never bond, stuff just kind of happens with them together with some terribly boring dialogue. And it's so uninteresting. I can't recommend this to anyone because it's not even a so bad it's good it's just boring bad.

Martin Brest, who directed the comedic classic "Beverly Hills Cop", got wronged by studio interference and gone into self-exile because of how this picture turned out as it's merely a studio product rather than someone who got his craftsmanship stolen. Anything that turned out enjoyable from this film is between his signature of grasped direction and most of Pacino's performance, the rest performed mediocrely, certainly lack thereof, and nonsensically at buffering paces in childishly self-contradicting matters. (D+)

Sin química, ni gracia, ni desarrollo de personajes, ni nada de lo que hacen buenas a las películas románticas. Una comedia negra que es mala en todo sentido de la palabra, "Gigli" (2003) es el peor momento en las carreras de los aclamados Jennifer Lopez y Ben Affleck, y una "película" que no disfrute en lo absoluto, y es debido a su dirección, su duración, su guion, su fotografía, su humor, y particularmente sus temas, como la discapacidad mental y la sexualidad lesbiana. El drama/comedia/romance criminal comete el pecado de no contar una historia, y en cambio solo presenta un elenco de actores fantásticos encarnando personajes horribles mientras insultan con respecto a los temas mencionados, y citan diálogos muy largos y estúpidos en situaciones muy largas y estúpidas que, en el mejor de los casos, aburren al espectador. Realmente una de las peores películas, "Gigli" (2003) es una obra de teatro cursi que "impacta".

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.

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.
