"It's horrible," moans Roger Friedman of Foxnews.com. "The worst movie ever made."

And those two made it to the end of Monday night's screening of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's ultra-hyped "Gigli." More than one person walked out.

The buzz on Ben and Jen's first movie is so bad - think Madonna's "Swept Away" -- Revolution Studios even had trouble filling the L.A. premiere, giving seats usually reserved for stars to the fans waiting outside.

Critics Call Affleck, J Lo. Movie 'Gigli' a Turkey

I guess that earlier "Onion" article was prescient.

Those have to be two of the most overhyped people in Hollywood.

I read where they used the "F" word (rythmes with the "F" word) over 15 times in the first 15 minutes of the movie. J-Lo is terrible and Ben-Lo is worse. The dialogue is attroshish Atrosish lousey and there's a scene where J-Lo says "Goble! Goble!" to Ben-Lo as she's laying on the bed with her legs open every so slightly.

The theater run for this movie won't even be as long as one of J-Lo's marriages.

My favorite Affleck movie clip is where Samuel L Jackson hits him.

I did not go to see Daredevil solely for the reason that it has Ben Aflac in it. Also, I don't understand all of the hoopla over J-Lo. She's not ugly, but she's no raving beauty. I couldn't say about her acting, since I am very particular about my movies.

I wonder if they'll take Matt Damon on the honeymoon.

True... very true. She does have the best "back-side" ("back of her front" to quote Hawkeye Pierce) in the movie business. She will probably baloon it out as she ages.

I didn't invent it, but I can't recall where I've seen it before. :)

DAREDEVIL was actually pretty good (well, I liked it). It had lots of action and Jennifer Garner. BOO-yah! :)

IMO, one of the great beauties in Hollywood is Uma Thurman. Too bad that she is such a leftist idiot.

It's the sour part that make it. That implies that there are layers to sucking frog a$$, that some are worse than others, and certainly the sour ones would be the worst. Gotta keep that one handy.

Heavy reliance on profanity in the dialogue is a sure sign that a movie is a badly-crafted piece of crap. When writers/directors/actors are desperate, out comes the #*%&#$!

I was the same way about The Shadow. It looked interesting, but I could not get past Alec Baldwin being in it.
