Ben Affleck: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

1. Gigli (2003)

There was only one film that could ever take the top spot, truly, and it's easily the worst film and indeed, performance of the man's career, a testament to the power of love to completely warp your mind and artistic integrity. Starring with Jennifer Lopez - who he began dating around that time - the pair deliver hopeless performances in this dire, depressing venture that's so bad, the word "Gigli" became an all-catch term for "disaster so bad it is almost impossible to recover from". What's most baffling, though, is that the pair really seem to lack chemistry, hilarious when considered in retrospect, perhaps the almighty proof that their marriage was never going to work out anyway... The film earned Affleck the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor, and the film scooped up an additional five Razzies, including Worst Picture and Worst Actress for Lopez as well. It's simply a film everyone, whether viewer, cast or crew, just wishes they could forget; after all, have you ever met anyone who said they liked it? And would you ever speak to them again anyway? What do you make of Affleck's other performances? Let us know in the comments below.
