Your door's not thick enough to pretend you're not home when you're home.

First of all, don't hate me for posting about this...

I watched Gigli last weekend. To be honest, I didn't hate it. It definitely wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but it was nowhere close to the worst.

I watched it with a few friends and we all enjoyed it. We found it very funny, and came to the conclusion that it came out before its time. If it came out now, people may view it as a quirky comedy.

I can understand why people may not have enjoyed it. The trailers for it don't provide the audience with what the movie is actually about. One makes it seem like its about J-Lo being the ultimate badass. Another plays it off as a wicked cheesy romantic comedy. In reality, its neither of those. Its a little romantic comedy, but not really.

It's full of funny monologues and lines, which may or may not have been meant to be funny.(I'm guessing intentional)

However, this movie has a great cast. Ben Affleck, J-Lo, Christopher Walken, Al Pacino, Justin Bartha (Riley in National Treasure) and Lenny Venito. Just with a look at the cast, you should be able to tell how fun the movie could be.

If this movie had come out later than it did, the director may have been viewed as a genius of sorts.

After watching the movie, we watched the trailer in the Special Features, and realized that it did not accurately display the movie.

So, just as advice, I suggest not taking the quality of movies at the word of others, and to look up a synopsis before seeing the movie, because the trailer may be inaccurate of misleading...

...I'm not saying to rush out and buy the movie or even rent it. But if it happens to be on TV, watch it. I'm not saying that you will like it, but give it a chance. Go in with low expectations, and you may end up being pleasantly surprised.

Peace. Love. Money.
