:Not to be confused with GigiGigli (IPA ) is a film released in 2003 which was written and directed by Martin Brest, starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, and Lainie Kazan.Originally, the film was intended to be a very dark comedy with no romantic subplot, but the producers demanded script rewrites throughout filming.PlotLarry Gigli (Affleck) is a low ranking mobster who is commanded to kidnap the disabled, Baywatch-obsessed younger brother (Justin Bartha) of a powerful federal prosecutor, to save his mobster boss from prison.Gigli successfully convinces the man, Brian, to go off with him by promising to take him "to the Baywatch". However, Giglis boss does not trust him; he hires a woman calling herself Ricki (Jennifer Lopez) to take over the job.Although Gigli is attracted to Ricki, he resents the fact that Louis (Lenny Venito), his boss, does not have faith in him and that he has to take orders from Ricki. He is also frustrated by Brians insistence on going to the Baywatch and Rickis lesbianism. The events of the movie take on a darker turn when Larry and Ricki receive orders from Ray to murder Brian, something neither of them wants to do.ReactionThe movie was considered a spectacular failure, often called the worst movie of 2003, grossing less than $4 million in its opening weekend after costing $54 million to make.

It earned nearly universally negative reviews 1. (Gigli also set a record for the biggest second-weekend drop in box office gross of any film in wide release since that statistic was kept; its gross dropped by almost 82% in its second weekend compared to its first. 2).The public reaction to Gigli led to the film becoming a synonym for "poor quality" during the summer of 2003, especially on late-night talk shows. It was also named by the Global language Monitor as one of the top words from Hollyword impacting the English Language for 2003.3 It was eventually withdrawn from U.S. theatres after only 3 weeks (one of the shortest circulation times for a big-budget movie), earning a total of only $6 million domestically and $1 million abroad. In terms of budget percentage, it is one of the biggest box-office bombs ever.
