MEDIA WATCH: From script to stars, media batters 'Gigli'

PR Week USA 18-Aug-03

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's new film, Gigli, has been getting some of the worst press of any film in years. Critics are conducting a post-mortem to see exactly how it was that this bomb was dropped on the box office. While Ben and J. Lo are receiving a heap of abuse, many reports are saying the script, dialogue, and plot weren't much to begin with.

Most frequent messages:

1 Gigli is a spectacularly terrible film

2 From plot to dialogue, Gigli is horribly written

3 Writer/director Martin Brest shares the blame

4 Affleck and Lopez lack on-screen chemistry

5 Gigli is one of the worst films of all time

Based on 54 US newspaper, magazine, and TV stories appearing July 16-August 11, 2003
