What Parents Need to Know

About Gigli

Parents need to know that this movie has graphic violence, non-stop profanity, and extremely explicit sexual references and situations. A character attempts suicide and then disappears from the story. In a better movie, the fact that the most capable and intelligent character is a bi-sexual Hispanic woman would be more worthwhile. Bartha's portrayal of Brian is probably the most natural and authentic of the movie, but the character of the retarded man is the stereotypical noble disabled person and really no more than a prop for the other characters to react to.

    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 0.0

    Utter garbage would be a compliment for this.......

    All I have to say (or can say) about Gigli is that it is by far the worst movie ever concieved, and in fact, people should get paid to see this, not the other way around. Here's a quarter Ben Affleck. Make a better movie than this, it shouldn't be a problem.

    I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it 3.0

    GIGLI

    GIGLI was mindless but fun at some parts. Definitely rent it. Sex- 7: Some brief nudity, sexual references and overtones Violence-9: Very bloody scene of violence Language-10: Very explicit language Scariness-5: A scary/violent scene. My rating: R for pervasive graphic language, brief strong language and some sexuality/nudity
