Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

We could almost be watching staged rehearsals for an '80s cliche-fest.

A.O. Scott New York Times (Top Critic)

Hopelessly misconceived exercise in celebrity self-worship.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian [UK] (Top Critic)

Awe-inspiringly, world-historically awful.

Claudia Puig USA Today (Top Critic)

What emerges is desperate -- and occasionally offensive -- salaciousness merged with corny, predictable jokes.

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

Guys, I'm telling you: Don't go to this movie! It's Chasing Amy with guns! You're walking into a trap!

Ty Burr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

An overlong, joyless, and inconsequential affair, full of dead air, and possessing only a few moments of jaw-dropping bad taste.

Michael Atkinson Village Voice (Top Critic)

Brest would have to go back to his outline to repair this lemon and give America something akin to what it's told it really wants -- a helping of Lopez-Affleck home movies.

There are so many bad moments in Gigli, it's a shame to single out only a few.

Eric Harrison Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

The movie tries too hard to be edgy, to work as a sweet romance, yet lacks the courage to push as hard as it needs to.

Chris Vognar Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

Once you get past the staggering question of who gave this thing the green light, Gigli actually turns into a uniquely bad movie that yields real (albeit unintentional) laughter.

Lisa Kennedy Denver Post (Top Critic)

Gigli makes a bid for that rare honor: The movie so bad it's good. It falls short.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)

I wonder what would happen if you sweated 15 minutes out of this movie. Maybe it would work. The materials are there.

Mark Caro Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

25

Put together enough pointless, random details, and you get Gigli, a movie that's less incompetent than bewildering.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

Brief but flamboyant cameos by Christopher Walken and Al Pacino helped keep me distracted from the noble intentions and the silliness.

Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

25

A torpid dud starring the cuddly celebrity twosome of the moment.

Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)

13

A perfect storm of cinematic awfulness.

Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)

17

Its awkward Rain Man- meets-gangsters- in-love plot lurches forward with such clumsiness it's hard to believe writer/director Martin Brest avoided seeing this thing flushed direct-to-video.

Bill Muller Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

20

There's virtually no story, no conflict, no tension and no suspense, just the endless droning of the worst dialogue written in recent memory.
Full Review » 9 years ago
Rex Reed New York Observer (Top Critic)

Shapeless and without a shred of originality, the movie mimics and copies pieces of a number of old movies, all superior in every way.
Full Review » 9 years ago
Amy Dawes Variety (Top Critic)

An enjoyably written and performed romantic comedy.
Full Review » 9 years ago
Jonathan Foreman New York Post (Top Critic)

25

An inept attempt to do Elmore Leonard by Martin Brest, a filmmaker whose coarse sensibility makes him catastrophically unqualified to the task.
Full Review » 9 years ago
Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

20

It's a catastrophic miscalculation of tone, a comatose comedy about mental illness, contract killers and corpse desecration.
Full Review » 9 years ago
Geoff Pevere Toronto Star (Top Critic)

20

It is an exquisitely bad movie: One to be savoured, marvelled over, shared with friends and generally appreciated in a state of awestruck wonder. Gourmet fromage.

Liam Lacey Globe and Mail (Top Critic)

Rarely has a movie that doesn't star Madonna achieved such a skin-crawling mixture of deluded preening and bungled humour.
