Comments

This film was a monumental failure with the box-officeffice, reporting only 4 million USD the first weekend, whereas it had cost 54 of them, and profiting from criticisms quasi unaniment negative. It beat also the record of the worst 2nd weekend, with a fall of the entries of 82% compared to the first weekend. The term Gigli was even a moment used by the Americans to indicate a thing of poor quality. It disappeared from the cinemas at the end of only 3 weeks, having reported finally only 7 USD million to the United States and abroad.

Although film itself has be often regarded as particularly bad (the scene where Jennifer Lopez speaks “to line turkey” being particularly quoted on this subject), the reputation of film suffered certainly from the love affair between the two high-speed motorboats, and the fact that nobody really knows how to pronounce the title ( Zi-Li ) hardly helped.

The principal reproach addressed to film is to correspond to the extreme with films produced nowadays with the chain by cinema industry: a not very original history, dialogs without savor, etc This, with media frenzy related to the two high-speed motorboats, gave rise to the “syndrome of Gigli”.
