"Gigli" is a messy and convoluted film that fails to deliver on its intriguing premise. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's chemistry is undeniable, but their characters' awkward interactions and stilted dialogue make for a cringe-worthy viewing experience. The plot twists and turns in absurd ways, straining credibility and logic. Despite its promising setup, "Gigli" ultimately falls flat, becoming a laughable example of a failed romantic comedy.
