No film of recent memory has received
lousier advance publicity than the first
team up of Ben Affleck and J. Lo. Having
sat through their silly little movie, I can
honestly say that while it isnt good by any
means, it isnt all that bad either. Affleck
plays a criminal type who gets into a
kidnapping scam, with Jennifer Lopez
becoming somewhat of a partner in
crime. Afflecks Gigli falls for J. Lo., but
her character is a lesbian, creating some
major Chasing Amy vibes. The film
is mostly drab, peppered with a few good
moments (cameos by Al Pacino and
especially Christopher Walken are
entertaining). Much of the last 30 minutes
of this two-hour film is quite horrible, and
the entire film is afflicted with a terrible,
off-putting soundtrack. Overall, the film
isnt all that terrible. Its just something
that need not be seen by anyone, for it is
quite the nothing enterprise.
