Gigli
(pronounced "jeally" and rhymes with really), is described
as a romantic gangster comedy from director Martin Brest,
(Scent of a Woman, Midnight Run, Beverly Hills Cop)
about a lowly thug who lets love get in the way of a
high-risk mob assignment. Gigli (Affleck) is ordered
to kidnap the psychologically challenged younger brother
of a powerful federal prosecutor. When plans go awry,
Gigli's boss sends in Ricki (Jennifer Lopez), a gorgeous,
free-spirited female gangster who has her own set of
orders, to assist with the kidnapping. But Gigli begins
falling for the decidedly unavailable Ricki, which could
be a hazard to his occupation. |

The
Beniffer lovebirds appear together for the first time.
No doubt by the time it's out in the US, they'll be
married - and possibly divorced. The buzz on this movie
is that it is totally UNWATCHABLE, and an absolute DOG.
One question: how in God's name did Ben Affleck ever
get onto an A-List. I've got golf clubs with more personality.
Maybe God is his agent. |
