Jennifer may be a hotty, but she is also a snot-nosed bieetch that could not act her way out of prison if she had to. Her movies just plain suck. She was pretty good in Selina and Out of Sight, but last 4 movies just sucked, I dont know what studios are thinking by putting her in movies, its just like, IF YOU PUT J-LO the movie is doomed.
I dont really care for Affleck, he is just so dang annoying, I liked him in few parts, but those were mostly KEVIN SMITH movies, and he was not all bad in SOAF, but thats about it

Who's anticiptaing it?
Kevin Smith, so it gets out of the way.
Harvey Weinstein's moved JG back so much because he doesn't want it touched by Gigli's bad publicity.

I actually braved the trailer on www.apple.com and I must say.. looks like the worst movie of the year, more plot than Rave Scene Reloaded, but still.. worst movie this year, from the trailer.

Ouch. Still, this will be the 'Glittler" of the year. No doubt.
'Gigli' Blasted by Critics
Critics have wasted no time in sharpening their pencils for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's movie Gigli - with one branding it "the worst film ever". The film has been beset by problems: it even changed its name to Tough Love at one point and has removed J.Lo's character's lesbianism. And one scene in particular, when Lopez's character invites Affleck's character into bed with the line, "It's turkey time" only to reply to his question of "What?" with "Come on, gobble, gobble!" has been ridiculed by reviewers. One says, "It was possibly the worst line ever said in a movie." Another critic adds, "Affleck is just totally miscast and J-Lo is just awful." The film is released in America next week.

The GF is a major Ben Affleck fan, so I won HUGE brownie points by picking up a free pass to see the sneak next week. I'm gonna be hating life for two hours, but maybe she'll be grateful. 
This does look like a heaping pile of cow dung, though....

Whoever put together the trailers/previews for this film should be shot. Instead of playing up the Lopez/Affleck romantic circle, they should have played it down, because everybody is sick and tired of it. It has been forced upon the public by the media for months now.
I think my wife wants to see this. Hopefully the trailer/previews are NOT indicative of the final product. Maybe it's completely different than what it appears to be. It can't be as bad as Legally Blonde 2 can it? Probably not.

Spoiler:
I was stand proud with my love of Jennifer Lopez. I dug her in Out of Sight, loved her in Money Train, loved the Cell, & think she is insanely hot. I honestly just think, especially at these boards, people just bash her b/c it's the trendy thing to do. I mean one guy said he "boycotts" anything she does. Are people serious? What on earth did Lopez do to that guy. However, I don't like Ben Affleck so I'll be passing on going to the theaters to say Gigli, but I'm sure I will borrow it from someone & definitely see it once it hits DVD. I mean, is every guy here gay, she looks amazing in the yoga scene (not that means the movie will be good, but still).
