A lowly thug, Gigli, is assigned to kidnap the psychologically challenged younger brother of a powerful federal prosecutor to save his mobster boss from incarceration. Staked-out in his one-bedroom apartment with his kidnap victim, Brian, Gigli soon realizes that what he thought would be a routine assignment soon becomes a tumultuous task. Ricki, a gorgeous, free-spirited female gangster is sent to assist Gigli with the kidnapping because his boss does not think that Gigli is up to the job. But when his feelings for the decidedly unavailable Ricki begin to grow, and he actually becomes concerned for Brian, tough guy Gigli begins to transform into an actual human being…which considering his profession could be a very dangerous occupation –IMDb
The more I ponder, the more I feel that people are hating on the film because of its queer undertones.
An underrated film. It's a whole lot smarter than the average Hollywood rom-com. Maybe not a great masterpiece or anything, but it's European sensibilities and its low-key style make it a helluca lot better than the reputation would lead you to believe.
Not as bad as everyone made it out to be at the time. Justin Bartha is that bad, however.
