Review of Gigli

Gigli (2003)
8/10
Nice Surprise
2 August 2003
Blood has been in the water for more than a month, ever since some a-hole thought up the idea of calling this picture the worst film ever made. It's not. It's not even the worst film of the month, that honor would have to go to Tomb Raider 2 or even LXG. This is not a critics picture. This film is far to un-pc for any major critic to get away with giving it a passing grade. And yes, Lopez can't act. However, I went into the film thinking I was going to see some disaster, and instead, I got a nice surprise. Ben Affleck gives a very good performance in this film. Some of his lines had me laughing out loud, "What the f- is this, mental illness week?" The "turkey time" line is so bizarre and out of place, it made me laugh out loud. The ending is a little slow paced, but the film has a good enough sense of humor and it's heart is in the right place. I smiled a lot in Gigli. Christopher Walken and Al Pacino are a hoot. 8/10
