Almost as bad as 'WTF Is It Now?!?' !
Reviews of Gigli, compiled by RottenTomatoes.com:
"Hopelessly misconceived exercise in celebrity self-worship." -- New York Times
"The rare movie that never seems to take off, but also never seems to end." -- USA Today
"It's worth knowing how to pronounce Gigli because it will enter the vocabulary as a word meaning 'massive box-office flop'" -- Jeffrey Westhoff, NW Herald
Gigli is precisely as awful as everyone's been saying, and it's a sad state of affairs when a 2+ hour parade of self-adoration can pass for an actual movie." -- Scott Weinberg, EFilmcritic.com
"Despite all the reshoots, rewrites, re-edits and other changes, this is one awful movie." -- Jeff Vice, Desertet News
"Such an utter wreck of a movie you expect to see it lying on its side somewhere in rural Pennsylvania, with a small gang of engineers circling and a wisp of smoke rising from the caboose." -- Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
"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
"A grade-A misfire, fantastically uninvolving, a cinematic train wreck of slacked-jawed, distinguished proportions." -- Brent Simon, Entertainment Today
"This is a movie that manages to keep finding new ways of being stupid." -- Eric D. Snider, ericdsnider.com
"An inert, toneless clunker... with the stars generating almost as much heat as Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley did in their public makeout sessions." -- James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
"A rigli, rigli bad movie." -- Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
"From the very start the movie flatlines like a heart monitor on a dead man. And it never improves." -- Steve Rhodes
"Painfully dull and remarkably tasteless." -- Mary F. Pols, Contra Costa Times
"There’s no rhythm to (the) putrid dialogue, no flow to (the) preposterous scenes." -- Sean O'Connell, filmcritic.com
"Ben has amazing powers - he has twice accomplished the impossible: He turned two lesbians straight! First in Chasing Amy and now in Gigli. This man is a Sapphic SARS virus!"-- Mark Ramsey, Moviejuice
"I fought the urge to punch someone once it finally ended." -- Jon Popick, Planet Sick-boy
"The suspense is not so much whether they will have sex and/or fall in love, but how the script will get around the lesbian angle to get to it." -- Eugene Novikov, Film Blather
"This is the first time I’ve ever attended a screening where the audience was screaming the word 'edit!'" -- Jon Niccum, Lawrence Journal-World
"As with Madonna's Swept Away, you're left baffled by how the thing was ever made." -- Kim Morgan, Oregonian
"Gigli is so horrible I had to go cleanse my palate afterward by watching Glitter." -- Danny Minton, KBTV-NBC (TX)
"Rarely has a movie that doesn't star Madonna achieved such a skin-crawling mixture of deluded preening and bungled humour." -- Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

"It's the stuff Mystery Science Theater 3000s are made of." -- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Jennifer Lopez plays a lesbian in Gigli, and Ben Affleck plays a heterosexual man, which means they have one thing in common: Both of them are in a crummy movie." -- Chris Hewitt, St. Paul Pioneer Press
"Nearly as unwatchable as it is unpronounceable." -- Manohla Dargis, LA Times
"A perfect storm of cinematic awfulness." -- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"There are so many bad moments in Gigli, it's a shame to single out only a few." -- Jami Bernard, NY Daily News
"Worst...movie...ever." --
