Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

Lopez and Affleck are sweet and appealing in their performances; the buzz said they didn't have chemistry, but the buzz was wrong. What they don't have is conviction. Read full review

Amy Dawes

Arrives carrying more baggage than a Greyhound bus, which may distract moviegoers from what is a silly but still an enjoyably written and performed romantic comedy. Read full review

Kim Morgan

Has a curious train-wreck quality to it that keeps you watching and thinking. (Even if you are thinking things like, Why were these lines ever written? When you hear the "turkey" line, your jaw will drop.) Read full review

Mark Caro

Put together enough pointless, random details, and you get Gigli, a movie that's less incompetent than bewildering. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Buried in the slow, talky, inanities that the two stars exchange are some potentially interesting ideas about female sexual self-assertion and male surrender, but neither the actors nor the filmmakers have any notion about how to explore them. Read full review

David Grove

Has no story, no redeeming characters that anyone could care about, and the actors are all on autopilot, completely soaked with their own vanity. Read full review

Stephen Hunter

Enervated, torpid, slack, dreary and, oh yes, nasty, brutish and long. Read full review

I like this movie very interesting The only reason why this movie might not appeal to someone is because Indian culture is very unique and if the audience is totally unaware of the culture, the movie might come as a bit of a shock, and they might find it impossible to relate to.

The only scene that worth watching is the yoga scene. I still wonder if they will release the director’s cut with the original script before they rewrite and reshoot it, and make it rom-com

What's the point of this film? It can be the worst film of 2003, but not the worst film ever made. Oh, and also not the worst thing ever made because that's already obvious.

That's the full extent of the entertainment value I got from 'Gigli'. I don't know why "Your name is Bob" made me laugh, but it did … pity none of the other jokes in this lame excuse for a movie was better than mediocre. Nearly all its plot elements are culled in near-carbon copy form from films that used them much more effectively, the music is bland, the production values are bland, none of the characters is interesting, and to top it off, it's unduly offensive to intellectually disabled people. (Having spent significant amounts of time around some of them, I know how intellectually disabled people act. They're not nearly as perverted as their representative in this movie, Brian--if anything, they run from that attitude.) Furthermore, it's a borderline-momentous occasion when 'Gigli's' plot does move forward. Otherwise it's all bickering. This is not a movie about petty legislators. This is a movie about mobsters. What happens in 'Gigli' goes thoroughly against the mobster-film ethos. All involved should be ashamed of themselves for this awful excuse for entertainment.… Expand

Worst pile of garbage ever! I can totally understand why the critics hate this crap. The acting, script, and storyline were all terrible. And what's Al Pacino doing in there? This is a movie that everyone should avoid at all costs and it was the worst movie of all time.
