Judged to be the worst film of 2003, Gigli, on the contrary for me, is a pleasant romance-comedy movie with a good,
albeit slightly tasteless, story.
It probably overstayed its welcome toward the end, but I feel the filmmakers had a hard time letting it
go when everything was clicking so well. Although the characters are nicely developed, a few of them should have been toned
down a bit. Ditto for the profanity.
Ben Affleck's talent is showcased, and there's less fluff this time around. His co-star Jennifer Lopez complements him
well although the nature of the script looks somewhat out of her range, but I think she handled it just fine. Of course, I can't
forget to mention Christopher Walken, who's good, and he has a great scene when he was intimidating Ben Affleck.
All in all, Gigli is not as bad as the critics had made it out to be.
