The movie that gave the world Bennifer and DC fans a reason to moan about Affleck as Batman, Gigli is an astounding movie. Critically panned and a seismic box office bomb at the time, its position as an-all out disaster is undisputed, but watching it outside of all the topical jibes it's somehow even more of an awful spectacle. There's something fascinating about films where the two romantic leads wound up dating in real life, especially when they don't appear to share any discernible chemistry on screen, and Gigli stands as a masterwork of the form. Jennifer Lopez is dependably awful in everything she's in and has a distinct talent of being able to drag everyone around her down with her, although even against Jennifer Lawrence Affleck would still be flailing. His Larry Gigli (one of the worst names ever conceived) is a laughable gangster who speaks delicately and looks gormless, not even trying to elevate the material. He's the bull alright.
