Gigli (2003, 7%)
Like a case of collective Stockholm Syndrome, America was getting used to “Bennifer,” the pagan portmanteau
denoting the holy unity of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. “Bennifer Spotted at Venice Farmers Market, Rejecting
Wrinkled Squash,” the headlines read. “Bennifer Snorkeling Off Point Dume,” “Bennifer Anticipates Rise of Silver
Lake Neighborhood as Hipster Enclave, Escorted Out of HOA Meeting,” and so on. So when negative chatter arose
over Gigli, a monument to Bennifer’s enduring love, that the movie was actually a complete
embarrassment, we thought, “Could it be? Truly? Gobble,
gobble.”
