I wouldn’t normally post about something as trite as the bombing of Ben Affleck’s and Jennifer Lopez’ new movie, “Gigli,” but these reviews are hilarious!

· “…really, really silly, which is the kindest way to describe this hopelessly misconceived exercise in celebrity self-worship.” A.O. Scott, [NY TIMES]

“…Speculating that the $3.8 million dollars Gigli earned at the box office came from the purchase of two $1.9 million tickets purchased by Ben and Jen.” Bunsen, [Bunsen.tv]

“Gigli is so horrible I had to go cleanse my palate afterward by
watching Glitter.” Danny Minton, [KBTV-NBC BEAUMONT, TX]

“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]

“One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.” - Richard Roeper, [EBERT & ROEPER]

“For a brief, mad, moment I had a flicker of a thought that the mundane inanity of the sordid and petty imperatives imposed on Larry and Ricki might be some Samuel Beckett-style commentary on the existential void. Then I realized that watching the movie put me closer to the existential void than they ever were.” - Nell Minow, [MOVIE MOM]

…and my personal favorite:

“Stephen Hawking would have turned in a more believable performance, both as a lesbian and a contract killer.” Daily Gusto, [DailyGusto.com]
