No! Don't look at it! Run away! Run away!

Lol, thanks for the info and the warning I had never heard of it, but then again I'm not a Mariah Carey fan.

Okay, I've been pretty ####### the Affleck/Lopez megabomb "Gigli," so I am officially annoucing that I am retiring from the Ben-Lo bashing.

One thing about that movie "Gigli" with my favorite J-Lo, I've never saw it! I hope that this would happen soon when it comes out on DVD.

Critics roast turkey named ‘Gigli’

Ben-and-Jen feature being called among worst movies ever
By Mark Egan

NEW YORK, July 31 — Call it one of the biggest turkeys of all time. The romance between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has captivated the American public, but their first movie together is already being called a low point of cinema history.


How bad is "Gigli"?

America’s critics tell you, in no uncertain terms.

"A recent episode of South Park suggested that a fourth-grader's hand puppet could turn in a better performance than Ms. Lopez, and in the case of Gigli, it's hard to argue." — Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

"Witless, coarse, and vulgar, "Gigli" is worse than its advance buzz could have indicated." — Roger Friedman, FOX News

"Lopez and Affleck try not to smile at each other while gassing on and on until you’re praying, dear God, please make them shut up and do it so we can all go home in peace." — Ella Taylor, LA Weekly


"In case the Razzie Award announcers have any difficulty with the pronunciation, Gigli rhymes with "really." As in ‘really bad,’ or ‘really offensive,’ or ‘really wish I’d remembered my gun so I could just shoot myself now and end the misery.’" — Laine Ewen, Premiere

"Your decision to see "Gigli" really depends on how much you want to see Affleck and Lopez make out...That stomach-turning "Jenny From the Block" video has everything you need, and it's a good two hours shorter." — Mary F. Pols, Contra Costa Times

"Ick, ick and ick, people. Soft-brained and inhumanly dull, "Gigli" has no pace, no drive, none of the dark animal vitality that might have made this tasteless material a guilty pleasure." — Colin Covert, Star Tribune

"Never have I seen such a disasterous (sic) film as this. Martin Brest has finally lost it...this is the worst film that I have seen in about three years." — Ain’t it Cool News
""Gigli" makes "Hudson Hawk" look like a hiccup, "Ishtar" like a minor misstep. It’s the stuff "Mystery Science Theater 3000s" are made of." — Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

""Gigli" – which spawned the phenomenon the gossip pages and celebrity magazines so lovingly refer to as "Bennifer" – is every bit as unwatchable as the deafening negative chatter would suggest." — Christy Lemire, AP

"Gigli is so horrible I had to go cleanse my palate afterward by watching 'Glitter.'" — Danny Minton, KBTV-NBC

This is just too funny

Thanks for that info. I've never seen J-Lo and Ben Affelick in "Gigli" at either the Hudson Valley Mall or in Red Hook at the Lyceum. I read it in the Daily News that the film was a total disaster. I saw the movie schedule that "Gigli" had removed from the lineup. That's sad. As for "Glitter", I have it on video where they showed the World Trade Center appeared when it was released shortly following 9/11/01. That was a disapointed film. I have the movie on tape. If "Gigli" is not good enough, I hope it will be on DVD very soon.
