I will say this, in terms of celebrities, I do like Jennifer Lopez. However, this movie is really awful. I don't even know where they were going with this or what they were trying to get at. Essentially, they kidnap a guy with a disability under duress from a mobster, and then practically nothing happens. I'm serious. Yes, there is the whole "finger" thing but they can't even make that dynamic. After that it's pretty much just pointless scene after pointless scene until the sex scene between Lopez and Affleck. This movie reminds me of Super Mario Brothers in terms of how much time it wastes doing nothing and being boring. And the end, pretty uneventful. It reminds me of one of the things I've learned as a b-movie watcher. Almost anyone can handle a bad horror or sci-fi movie, but only b-movie warriors should watch bad comedies.

Things I would rather do than watch this movie ever again:1.) Smash my head on a boulder. 2.) Lick a gas station toilet seat.3.) Be attacked by a zombie. 4.) Send my paycheck to a Nigerian "prince" I met online. 5.) Make out with a chicken's butthole. 6.) Give myself a non-medicated root canal. 7.) Face off with a T-rex. 8.) Bathe with buffalo diarrhea. 9.) Swim in an active volcano. 10.) Eat aforementioned buffalo diarrhea. It's long. It's horrible. Just. Don't. Gosh dang it, I have to add more stuff because I have to add at least 10 lines of text. Hmmm.... TWO AND A HALF FREAKING HOURS WASTED! OH the things I could have accomplished. But no... It was wasted on this horrible, awful, insulting, narcissistic-filled piece of crap. J-Lo is a lesbian in the beginning, but of course, Ben Asshat "turns" her straight. GTFO here, Ben. Did they really have to go there? Really... I am going to leave it at that. This film has taken enough of my time, and by typing this review, I am just reliving the garbage memories.

Now I see why this movie is one of those bottom rated movies. But I really can't believe it's one of Martin Brest's works. How come? Did he just get hit by a car or something? Please.... Did you just forget that I really love you Scent Of A Woman movie??? I know you didn't write that movie, but still...There's too much unnecessary dialogues and screens in this movie. It's a comedy, crime and romance. but somehow I couldn't really feel them from the dialogues. They're so lame. Sometimes I feel silence while I was watching this movie.I think Martin is trying to make a movie like Pulp Fiction, which genre is crime and comedy. But come on, it's so far from heaven. I enjoyed Pulp Fiction a lot. But okay, I appreciate Justin Bartha's performance. I think he's the only one who is captivating in this movie. And Al Pacino, too, actually. To me, he's still amazing here.

Gigli (2003): Dir: Martin Breast / Cast: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bartha, Al Pacino, Christopher Walken: Nauseating bag of horse sh*t that went through several titles until arriving at what Hollywood considers catchy. Originally it was suppose to be titled Tough Love, which would have made sense for Ben Affleck's struggle to deal with Jennifer Lopez's character as a lesbian, or the idea that they are both growing attached to their mentally challenged hostage. Instead we have jokes regarding the name Gigli, which do nothing to advance any form of plot device. Ben Affleck stars as a gangster ordered to do a kidnapping. Jennifer Lopez is sent to make sure everything goes well. Then the story caters to Affleck's difficulties in bedding her because she's a lesbian. Director Martin Breast's work here is about as creative as a drunk during happy hour. He previously directed Scent of a Woman and Beverly Hills Cop. There is unnecessary footage such as a visit from Lopez's lesbian lover. Affleck plays a complete ass and Lopez cannot convince viewers that she is even a lesbian. Justin Bartha fares better as the victim but his sentimental outcome is long predicted. Al Pacino's role is basically ten minutes of profanity, which is understandable given the film itself. Christopher Walken plays a detective and is another actor whose career is smudged with this film. The film should be cut to pieces and used as toilet paper. Score: 0 / 10
