	Gigli (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Larry Gigli: You see, after all is said and done, the only thing you can be really sure of, the only thing you can really count on in this world, is that you just never fucking know.
		I borrowed my friend's Gigli DVD to see if the movie was really as bad as the ratings and other comments here will indicate.
		That ranking was undeserved, as the movie does have decent technical aspects (editing, sound) relative to Manos and Future War.

	Grandi Tenori.com: Beniamino Gigli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Gigli was born some 17 years later than Caruso, on 20 March 1890 in the small Italian township of Recanati near Ancona on the Adriatic coast.
		Gigli now started to appear outside Italy: During 1919-1921 he sang at Monte Carlo and travelled to South America, where he was successful in performances at the Colón of Buenos Aires and in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
		Gigli passed away in Rome on 30 November 1957, at the age of 67, after having suffered a heart attack, as a result of myocarditis (heart inflammation), diabetis and Asiatic flu.

	Beniamino Gigli
		Gigli was born in Recanati on 20th March 1890, the youngest child of a very poor family.
		The Great Depression in America caused Gigli to leave the Metropolitan in 1932 when he was unable to come to an agreement over his fee with the theatre where he had sung 28 of the 55 roles in his repertoire.
		Gigli sang this role until the end of his remarkable career: in November 1946 at the Covent Garden in London with his daughter Rina (Mimì) he was Rodolfo once again, a "paternal" lover who did nothing to hide his fatherly pride.

	Jennifer Lopez stars in Gigli
		Gigli (pronounced "jeally" and rhymes with really), is a new romantic gangster comedy from director Martin Brest, (Scent of a Woman, Midnight Run, Beverly Hills Cop) about a lowly thug who lets love get in the way of a high-risk mob assignment.
		Gigli (Affleck) is ordered to kidnap the psychologically challenged younger brother of a powerful federal prosecutor.
		But Gigli begins falling for the decidedly unavailable Ricki, which could be a hazard to his occupation.

	ESPN.com - Page2 - Ben & J-Lo: As bad as it gets
		"Gigli" has already been placed among the worst movies ever made, joining such recent garbage as "Glitter," "Showgirls" and "The 2000 World Series Highlight Video." It took in just $3.6 million its first weekend, which is an embarrassing amount, in that it means about a half-million people actually went to the theater and bought tickets.
		His Gigli is a very complicated character which requires a performance of nuance.
		I mean, when I went to the theater for "Gigli," my other choices were a movie based on a comic book, a movie based on a video game and a movie based on an amusement park ride.

	"Gigli" - Salon
		Affleck is Gigli, a mob enforcer who's far too tenderhearted to bring his assignments the level of brutality desired by his boss (played by Lenny Venito -- to say he gives a one-note performance would be generous).
		Gigli's boss doesn't trust him not to screw up, so he sends another contractor named Ricki (Lopez) to keep an eye on things.
		The tension between Gigli and Ricki comes from the fact that he can't believe this gorgeous woman is immune to his swaggering.

	Gigli - Uncyclopedia
		Gigli is considered by many film critics to be the second best film ever made, after Pootie Tang and just before Citizen Kane, Schindler's List, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Blankman.
		Giglie is the sequel to Of Mice and Men.
		Gigli stars Jennifer Lopez as some sort of ice queen lesbo hoochie detective, and Ben Affleck reprising his role as the mentally retarded friend that Matt Damon lugs arounds with him.

	Movie Spoiler for the film - GIGLI
		Gigli goes to a home for mentally challenged persons, and meets his target, a young man named Brian (Justin Bartha) who suffers from what appears to be a medium case of Tourette's Syndrome and slight mental retardation.
		Gigli's introduction to his watchdog colleague Ricki is a foul-mouthed encounter as she reduces him from strutting peacock to roasted fowl.
		Gigli has a heartfelt talk with Brian, and sends Brian on his way down to see the Baywatch (they are actually filming some form of "Beach Dance Fever") He then calls the US Attorneys office, telling Brian's brother where to find Brian.

		The biggest contenders for this year's awards were Gigli and The Cat in the Hat, starring Mike Myers in the adaptation of the classic Dr Seuss tale.
		But it was Gigli which walked away with six awards, including worst actor and actress for Affleck and Lopez.
		Gigli sees Lopez play a lesbian assassin sent to help Affleck, a thug on a kidnap mission, but things go wrong when they begin to fall in love.

	Film Reviews \| Gigli
		Gigli is the darkest treatment Brest has undertaken of this theme to date.
		Of course, Gigli is no match for someone with even a soupcon of wit, and that someone comes knocking on his door in the person of Ricki (Jennifer Lopez), an attractive young woman who says she needs to use the phone.
		Gigli, in a move commensurate with his personality (disorder), soon tries to make love to Ricki, but she quickly tells him she’s a lesbian –; and she’s not kidding.

	Gigli
		He wanted Gigli to come across as a "mean, angry and unsympathetic" character who comes to realize he's not the person he imagined himself to be.
		Gigli only does one mean thing, and it is so at odds with the prevailing tone that it makes us flinch.
		Kazan, who plays Gigli's mother, also eclipses the principal actors, but she's forced to interact with the stars, whereas Walken and Pacino are on their own wavelengths.

	Villa Gigli Scrapbook--Recent Press Coverage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		That’s because chef Ruggero Gigli and his wife, Gina, have no desire to expand the small restaurant… Nearly as many people get turned away as can be seated at this eclectic dinner house, which showcases Gina’s many artworks with Ruggero’s artistry in the kitchen.
		Villa Gigli has far surpassed its status as an underground discovery in the countryside; it is a flat-out sensation.
		Gigli’s face registered serene pleasure as he made the pasta the traditional way, the same way his mama did and her mama before that.

	Modamag.com \| Gigli (Movie Review)
		Larry Gigli (Ben Affleck) is a low-rent mob enforcer working for a crime boss who is uncertain of Gigli’s worth.
		Gigli is tough, assured, but dim, and to help him out another enforcer, Ricki (Jennifer Lopez), is sent to make sure Gigli doesn’t screw anything up.
		Larry Gigli is a loner, dimwit, and lothario, and Affleck manages to make all of these qualities fit into one man with minimal sweat, even when Brest can’t quite find Gigli’s pulse in the writing.

	Memoirs and anecdotes about Beniamino Gigli as told by Michelangelo Verso Sr.
		Gigli accepted on the condition that he sing together with the best young lyric singers of the moment, in order to promote a singing contest to select the most beautiful voices in Palermo at that time.
		The same year, Gigli was invited to sing at the church "Santa Rita" of Palermo, and that morning he asked me confidentially if I could bring him some coffee, possibly made by my mother, with a few drops of cognac in it.
		Gigli felt very honoured by that proposal but replied that he couldn't take on such a responsibility as he felt the opera didn't suit his vocal characteristics.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : Gigli
		In any case, to view Gigli with an unprejudiced eye either one way or the other is now almost impossible (in fact, Columbia might have been wiser not to release the film on DVD so quickly, but rather wait a few years for critical backlash to reverse).
		Brest writes good dialogue, and, though the critics who were unified in their hate of Gigli will no doubt scoff at such a notion, Brest is perhaps the only living heir to Preston Sturges, able to amusingly and convincingly put high-flown verbiage in the mouths of the low or loathsome.
		The best reviews of Gigli appeared before it even came out, based solely on the script (there are two of them, one at Screenwriters Utopia.com and one by Staxx), and they pretty much isolate the film's flaws.

	Gigli (2003): Reviews
		In this unconventional romantic comedy, low-level hood Larry Gigli (Affleck) is given an assignment that gets him in way over his head and Ricki (Lopez), a gorgeous free spirited female enforcer is sent in to assist him.
		Gigli berates, insults, dismisses, throttles, and bellows at Bartha's meticulously aped retard, and then turns sensitive and warm—it's hard to decide which attitude is more insulting.
		The problem with Gigli is that it is an inept attempt to do Elmore Leonard by Martin Brest, a filmmaker whose coarse sensibility makes him catastrophically unqualified to the task.

		Gigli immediately tries to be sweet to the tough Ricki, but she tells him he is not her type.
		Gigli is given an assignment by his connection to the mob, Louis (Lenny Venito), to kidnap Brian (Justin Bartha), the younger brother of a significant District Attorney.
		Gigli is ecstatic about his new job and snags the younger brother only to find out that he is psychologically challenged.

	GIGLI
		Since the buzz was unbelievably bad, and the few critics who screened the film before me had such a great time bashing it with all of their might, I thought it might be fun to approach the film in a positive manner.
		Gigli is a gargantuan piece of shit and deserves a place in the Bad Movie Hall of Shame.
		Gigli, which was originally slated for release last November, is the biggest waste of talent since Full Frontal.

	Memorie e aneddoti su Beniamino Gigli raccontati da Michelangelo Verso Sr.
		Nel 1949, quando Gigli venne contrattato a Palermo per dare dei concerti, il comitato "Salviamoli" propose a Gigli se poteva dare anche un concerto a beneficio dei poveri della città di Palermo.
		Gigli accettò, a condizione di cantare assieme ai migliori giovani cantanti lirici del momento, promovendo così un concorso per scegliere le più belle voci che c'erano allora a Palermo.
		Gigli fù onoratissimo della proposta ma rispose che non poteva assumere questa responsabilità in quanto riteneva che l'opera non era adatta alla sua tessitura vocale.

	Poco Pane, Poco Vino--Villa Gigli in Print! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		As a painter, Gina Gigli has spent a celebrated career observing the world around her and distilling it into works of art ranging from pictures, collages and prints to wine labels, mythological masks and wispy, ephemeral scarves and ribbons.
		Snack bars, diners, fancy restaurants and outdoor food stands—any menu-displaying source of sustenance that wasn’t part of some homogenized, conglomerated nationwide chain—was fair game for the wandering Giglis, and Gina’s newest book was the sometimes sad and serious but often poignant and funny result of their travels.
		But as Gina Gigli learned as she researched What’s Eating America, when fear, insecurity, shattered nerves or some other bump in the road knock Americans temporarily off-balance, food in any number of forms does a better job of supplying reassurance than any glib politician or gun-toting security guard.

		For the record, Gigli is the last name of a Los Angeles bagman and low-level extortionist employed by a punk gangster named Louis.
		Gigli is played by Affleck who tries to straighten out the name thing in the very first scene, telling another character, "It's pronounced jee-lee, as in really." Louis (Lenny Venito) orders him to kidnap a mentally disabled young man named Brian (Justin Bartha), who is the younger brother of a federal prosecutor.
		By now, Gigli and Ricki like the kid too much, so they sneak into the morgue and chop the thumb off a nameless corpse (using a plastic picnic knife because they don't think to bring a knife!) And then they send the thumb in an unmarked envelope to the feds.

		Gigli appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 2.40:1 and in a fullscreen version on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		All we find are some trailers for Gigli, Lopez’s Anaconda and Maid In Manhattan, and Mona Lisa Smile.

	Gigli Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Gigli is a slight, inconsequential story that Brest inflates by having the characters wax poetic, sometimes interminably.
		Affleck and Lopez will survive Gigli, the latest and very least addition to that peculiar sub-genre known as the "mob comedy." The same cannot be said for Gigli's writer/director Brest, whose script would never have made it past the first elimination round of Affleck's HBO series Project Greenlight.
		Currently dying a slow, painful death on the nation's movie screens, Gigli will nonetheless be remembered at year's end—not by the Motion Picture Academy, but by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, purveyors of the "Razzies" for the year's worst films.

		Until, that is, you actually spend 120 minutes in its presence and realise that having your skin flayed by a potato peeler would be less painful.
		Making that other cinematic love-in, Swept Away, look like nothing worse than a momentary lapse of judgement on the part of Madge and Guy, Gigli is two hours of pure dross enlivened only by the inane excesses of the script's forays into la-la-land.
		Gigli is so horrendous, you'll start to wonder if such wounds can be successfully self-inflicted in the darkness of the cinema auditorium.

		Gigli is such a massive failure that it could make Hollywood rethink its fascination with stars--for a minute or two, at least.
		The reviews of Gigli, produced by Revolution Studios and distributed by Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people), are some of the most savage in memory, assuming memory doesn't go back more than a few months to The In-Laws or Alex and Emma.
		The New York Times called Gigli a "hopelessly misconceived exercise in celebrity self-worship," while The Washington Post said it was "enervated, torpid, slack, dreary and, oh yes, nasty, brutish and long." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times, on the other hand, was more charitable, saying, "It doesn't quite work.
