| Houston ChronicleEric HarrisonThe 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. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonA grade-A misfire, fantastically uninvolving, a cinematic train wreck of slacked-jawed, distinguished proportions. Read on for more fun... |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyWriter/director Martin Brest ("Scent of a Woman") combines romance, comedy, and crime in a movie that will forever be blamed for bringing together Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThere was more wrong with this unconventional romantic comedy than right. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanBecause of its humble proficiency, seriousness of intent and sexual adventurousness, it's become the unfortunate pariah of a film culture that expects Hollywood to turn out only gee-whiz showiness and superficial plays at emotion. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffIt's worth knowing how to pronounce Gigli because it will enter the vocabulary as a word meaning 'massive box-office flop; an embarrassment caused by Hollywood's inability to say no to powerful creative types. See also: Ishtar.' |
| Denver PostLisa KennedyGigli makes a bid for that rare honor: The movie so bad it's good. It falls short. |
