Just a waste that deserves to be forgotten rather than attacked.

Top Critic
I can't call Gigli a misunderstood masterwork, but I'm not ashamed to say I enjoyed it.
02/14/08
Brief but flamboyant cameos by Christopher Walken and Al Pacino helped keep me distracted from the noble intentions and the silliness.
03/06/07
Top Critic Gigli isn't the equivalent of cracking a whippit, but it is irredeemably flawed
03/16/06
Mitigating factors: a carefully curated sampling of J-Lo butt cleavage, and an arrhythmic Christopher Walken cameo which momentarily diverts the doomed ship from collision with the iceberg.
02/09/06
Apart from the notoriety of their relationship, there isn't much else going for this movie.
09/30/05
I can't say that I enjoyed watching Gigli but it certainly was an instructive lesson in how good ideas can go horribly wrong.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez ... each spend several shocking minutes expounding upon the wonders of their own nether regions.
09/20/04
The first half is an unfunny drag, with a few uncomfortable laughs provided by a retarded man. The last half is a tragedy.
07/07/04
Gigli looks like a movie that writer-director Martin Brest made up on the spot.
06/23/04
Top Critic Brest inserts little wrinkles in an attempt to wash away the clichés, but all he achieves is taking an already wretched script to new depths.
01/03/04
If one has to find something positive to say about Gigli, it would have to be this: at least it isn’t likely to spawn a sequel.
01/02/04
How any relationship could be expected to survive after Gigli is a mystery. So if you're thinking of bringing someone for the laugh, be prepared to go home alone.
11/14/03
It tries a valiant effort to be smart and edgy, and feels like something that's always edging at greatness but never quite managing to break on through.
10/12/03
[You] realise that having your skin flayed by a potato peeler would be less painful.
