Gigli (2003)
7/10
If people call this bad, they don't know what bad is!

I actually thought this had some really good dialogue and it wasn't nearly as bad as it's reputation would have us believe. It was actually pretty good. In fact, I would give it a higher rating, except that I wasn't expecting a couple violent scenes, which almost ruined it for me. But then, it was redeemed in the end by a certain scene on the beach with the autistic boy, which proves that God works in mysterious ways! I immediately had the feeling upon seeing that, but whoever wrote it was divinely inspired, whether they realized it or not. Because things like that do happen in life. They are called Godwinks.

And, just like Jennifer Lopez in the movies says, guys usually don't do it for me, but Ben Affleck in this film somehow manages to be an exception. What a pretty boy! He reminds me a lot of Joan Jett's brother. I watched this movie for Jennifer lopez, and I ended up especially enamored with Ben Affleck! Go figure! That being said, Jennifer Lopez was quite a looker herself in this film. I was quite fond of her updos in this film as well.

The only cons that I really can think of about this movie is that it's an r-rated rom-com, and I'm not fond of any romantic comedy that is r-rated. Although, this, along with Jennifer Lopez's other r-rated romantic comedy, shotgun wedding, is very good. But they would be much better if they were PG or PG-13 at the most. That being said, this movie isn't nearly as bad as people say it is, and I rather enjoyed it.

The kidnapped brother was annoying to me until about a quarter of the way through, and then he started to be more endearing. By that point, I started to enjoy the movie itself overall.
