All About
Jennifer LopezGigli
(2003)PREMISE Lopez's Ricki finds unlikely romance with a fellow Mob functionary — unlikely because (1) she's a lesbian, and (2) they spend most of their time babysitting a mentally retarded hostage.
LEADING MAN Ben Affleck, who fell for Lopez off-camera as well, sparking two years of worldwide tabloid frenzy
OVERBEARING FATHER FIGURE Embattled Mob boss Al Pacino
HER CHARACTER'S ANCESTRY Unspecified; making her a lesbian was apparently exotic enough
MEMORABLE MOMENT Lopez's vagina monologue, in which she sings the praises of the female sex organ while all but displaying hers to Affleck in a suggestive yoga workout
WHAT EW SAID Its status as a legendary flop aside, Gigli is a ''watchable bad movie'' that features ''Ben and J. Lo nitpicking at each other like Tony and Stephanie in a summer-stock production of Saturday Night Fever.''
J. LO'S GRADE B-
THE MOVIE C+
