Gigli (2003) - Details

AKA : Tough Love

Gigli (pronounced "jeally" and rhymes with really), is a new romantic gangster comedy from director Martin Brest, (Scent of a Woman, Midnight Run, Beverly Hills Cop) about a lowly thug who lets love get in the way of a high-risk mob assignment. The film stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Gigli (Affleck) is ordered to kidnap the psychologically challenged younger brother of a powerful federal prosecutor. When plans go awry, Gigli's boss sends in Ricki (Jennifer Lopez), a gorgeous, free-spirited female gangster who has her own set of orders to assist with the kidnapping. But Gigli begins falling for the decidedly unavailable Ricki, which could be a hazard to his occupation. -By Mike C-----n
