CGiii Comment
It cost $54,000,000 to make, money down the drain...
Affleck & Lopez lead...backed up by Pacino and Walken - what went wrong?
Because...wrong it went.
Martin Brest, director of Meet Joe Black, Scent of a Woman, Beverly Hills Cop, has to be held accountable...
This may well be the final nail in Brest's film-making coffin - it really is one of the worst big-budget, big-named floppy films of all time.
Ooops - a very expensive ooops.

The(ir) Blurb...
Gigli, a lowly and inept hitman, is assigned a job by the mob to kidnap an intellectually disabled brother of a California district attorney. Gigli abducts the brother from his mental hospital and holds him hostage in his apartment. Ricki, a "lesbian assassin", is sent to oversee Gigli's job and make sure he doesn't screw it up. Comedic high jinks ensue as the two go on the lam and start to fall in love.
