I borrowed my friend's Gigli DVD to see if the movie was really as bad as the ratings and other comments here will indicate. The answer is yes. When the film first came out, it rocketed to number 1 on the bottom 100 list. That ranking was undeserved, as the movie does have decent technical aspects (editing, sound) relative to Manos and Future War. Its good to see Gigli settling a little further down the list. From the outset, I could tell the dialog was just horrible. It was unfunny 90% of the time, and contained useless overlong scenes. One example was the whole 'pleasing a woman' sequence where Lopez was doing Yoga on a mat while talking with Affleck. Just horrible. Jennifer Lopez has to win the award for most painfully miscast actress. She is totally unbelievable as a Lesbian girl gangster. She failed to convince me that she had ever broken the law in the past. 'I did some really bad things' -- yeah right. I would avoid this like the plague. 1/10

What an absolutely horrid, wretched POS this movie this. The humor is low-brow and crude which in itself is not bad IF the movie is funny. Well guess what. This is not funny (and it's not hard to get me laughing). A totally incoherent plot, and a very misleading title (the Boss's daughter has little to do with the movie). Ashton Kutcher, just give it up. You suck. Never again. 1/10

I saw this movie shortly after it came out. I was 16 at the time, and it was interested seeing people in the film who were about my age, 20 years earlier. You could definitely tell this film was geared towards people who where in their teens in the mid-70's, and who have been in their mid-thirties when the film came out. They also released not one but two excellent soundtracks featuring music of the era. I wouldn't be surprised if the filmmakers made more off the soundtracks than the movie. The movie definitely is attempting to create a sense of nostalgia. The average viewer who is not from that era will likely find the movie slow and dull. Watch to see early appearances by several future stars - Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams, Matthew McConaughey. This is not an out-and-out comedy. There is no slapstick or gross-out humour that we typically see in teen films. Not bad. 7/10
