Gigli marks the point in which any remaining public support for the "actor" Ben Affleck died away and people gave up entirely. It marks the point at which Affleck became a full-on joke, instead of just a half-joke. Essentially, it was the movie that ended his career. And that makes perfect sense when you actually sit down to see Gigli - an annoying, insufferable and actually kind of bewildering motion picture that pretty much should have been titled "Ben Affleck: My Resignation From Hollywood" instead. Does it make sense that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have zero chemistry in this movie, despite the fact that they were a couple in real life at the time of shooting? It does not. Does it make sense that Christopher Walken appears in a scene in which his character talks about wanting a delicious pie? Absolutely, no. It is a mess of a movie; a two hour contrition in which pretty people pretend to be interesting and fail miserably at every turn. Viewed now, though, at a time when Affleck is arguably at the height of his career (he is Batman: who'd have thought?) and Gigli makes for an endlessly curious watch. It is the certified proof that you can sink to the the lowest depths imaginable and still bounce back.
