He looks like a caricature of a vaguely handsome man tbh. The uncanny valley comes into play. And he has shark eyes. As another bisexual woman, I also don't get it AT ALL.

[@DarkFleurofIra]

I'm also Bi and he's.... I'll admit he's not unattractive, but he seems really 'meh' to me; in these Romcom / Romance movies, the male leads all start to look the same, especially in the haircut department. It's weird when you see that the lead lady is gorgeous, and the movie tries to convince you that she is destined to be with generic main white man number 72. I'd argue that passionflix and pureflix are very hecking guilty in the "male leads all look the same" department.

[@adios-bitchachos]

I'm straight and Ben Affleck is about as attractive as a bowl of plain oatmeal. There's also just something about him (both in real life and in movies) that I can't pinpoint or describe, but he makes me feel like he's a douchebag idiot who pretends to be sensitive to try to get women. I won't watch anything that he's in because he gives me "ick" vibes.

[@skinsey85]

As a lez, I despised the fact that this was the second film in which Ben Affleck "turned" a lesbian. Not to dismiss bisexuals but that wasn't even a key aspect in this or Chasing Amy. It was "oh, you like women? You just haven't found the right d!ck and Ben's is magically special". At least that's what I took away and it was always gross the way the films used lesbians to feed into the male fantasy.

@@alfie6441 no. Ben Affleck’s character was really upset bc she sexually experimented with guys in HIGH SCHOOL. He literally broke up with her because of it. Unhinged!

[@ievolcisum]

Not Ben Affleck being a manic pixie dream for men. He's literally such a man's man for truly just being a fking idiot. Even his role in Goodwill Hunting feels like satire somehow. Idk why but everything Affleck acts in just feels like a joke. Even gone girl, it's just that the joke is on him there, instead of him just being a joke

[@whatalicesaw]

The fact that these two dated/are dating again yet have absolutely no on screen chemistry is mind boggling.

[@sarahloveencore6542]

[@Mecharnie_Dobbs]

That's supposed to be a common thing, that people dating in real life have no on screen chemistry. Like they have no sexual tension, because they've relieved it. Romanticising something means idealising it. They no longer have an idealised view of each other, but a real one.

So true

[@morley364]

The ONLY thing I could think of is that through the warped view of the writer, a woman ex is 'quirky' and 'not a threat' but a man ex would have been a potential threat to the 'superiority' of Ben Affleck? Or maybe it's some big gross ego boost to say you 'conquered' a lesbian? I don't know. It's all trash and I need to watch something pure to cleanse my mind.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

You know what's (one of 100000 things) funny about The Room is: It cost 3 million dollars to make. That's one reason it's SO singular: it used big-budget cameras, had a real, professional film crew and real, professional actors getting paid, it's just that the script, directing, and lead were all completely botched...and all the same person.

[@Make_AWish]

​@@Alucard-A-La-Carte...3 MILLION dollars??

[@jungtothehuimang]

If they wanted her to like men and women why did they not just make her bisexual? It would still have been absolutely appalling representation, but at least it wouldn't be completely and utterly lesbianphobic, fetishistic and disgusting. Holy shit. This one was rough as hell.

[@jungtothehuimang]

@Day They did not, she is only ever explained as a woman who likes women and who seems quite disgusted and put off by men, but who somehow ends up sleeping with Ben Affliction bc his peepee is just super special. There is even an entire monologue he has saying that she is "missing out" and she is "too hot and sexy" to only be with women because lesbians are lacking according to this film. She is not bisexual in this film. She is a lesbian that gets fixed by a man's penis. Which is just extremely offensive and nobody wants this.

[@agalo3631]

Cause bisexual wasn’t taken seriously until recently. :/

[@JNDReacts]

Because then there wouldn’t be the “tension” of him pining for a woman who supposedly couldn’t want him, and then her finally sleeping with him wouldn’t be as big of an accomplishment. 🤢 Media in the early 2000’s was full of the “straight man thinks he can turn a lesbian” trope, and the word bisexual was never said.

I just want everyone to know that someone was paid to write this. Paid a lot of money, given a lot of resources, to write a movie with Jennifer Lopez, and they wrote this. Sure, studio interference and all that, but is there even anything in here reminiscent of a once decent plot? As a writer seeing videos like this always make me feel good because it ju sets reassures me that no matter what I write, no matter how insecure you may feel about your prose, characters, or originality. You cannot fail. You have won just by trying. You could create the most debased, vulgar, bland, coma-inducing series of words put to paper, so revolting that the government is sent to your residence to steal all remnants of the work and burn it in front of you, only to then burn the ashes and hold your eyes over the smoke as a final punishment as you slowly douse the flame with your polluted tears, and that failure would still be greater and more successful than the entire existence of this movie. You cannot fail. If you can manage to sit down and write a work, no matter how long it takes, from start to finish, and do it (mostly) sober and with both hands, you will have put more effort than everyone who oversaw this monstrosity did and, no matter the outcome, will have succeeded. Go do it.

This movie ONLY thought it was good due to the level of arrogance that Jlo was existing at back then.

While this can be hard to really comprenhend in this age of paparazzi and constant content, YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE, and acting as if you do (especially when trying to psychanalyse their relationships and apparent alcoholism) is incredibly disrespectful. I know you did not mean anything bad by it but I hope you reconsider your take.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

I mean, their allowed to make judgments about these people coco. Hell you even agreed with some of their judgments.

[@URMOM-ko5vg]

I usually watch bad movies with my dad and we always have little things to say but this just left us with few words like what the fuck and just staring at each other like… you seeing this too

[@digitalhuman5943]

I HATED growing up in the early 2000’s. Trying to explain to other 12yo’s calling everything gay is low key bigotry, and having them dunk on me for it. Having my black body type be the least desirable, having my black features constantly ridiculed or conformed to whiteness. Then 2010, and it’s like a magic wand of sanity! I’m not saying it didn’t have problems, but it was like everyone got on board with inclusion.

[@8organharvester]

as a neurodivergent lesbian, this movie is the type of tonal awkwardness that i can only concoct in my nightmares

[@KyleZonePlus]

Now I see why Weird Al listed "make your TV record Gigli" as a horrible thing in Virus Alert. Never got the line before but now I do.

[@mvalenzuela6739]

“Negligent use of romcom music” BAAAAAYYYYYBBBBBEEEEEEEEE!!!!! 😂😂 😂😂😂😂you fucking KILL ME! Can we go to a bad movie together, PLEASE!!!!!

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

This movie is called Amore Estremo (Extreme Love) in Italy as the original title is the italian word for Lilies. Trivia: in the pilot for Jennifer Lopez's NBC show Shades Of Blue, her character calls lilies an abomination, which might be a dig on this movie.

[@mannypedib]

That show is her best acting EVER.

[@wtfbilly143]

Watching Kennie lose her sh*t while explaining every moment the romcom music plays makes me think I should watch this movie. I wont but I'll definitely watch this video again 😝

[@Lavapulse]

Oh geez. As a lesbian, the homophobia hits particularly hard. I hate that I love this movie for how much of a trainwreck it is.

[@moxiemaxie3543]

My favorite product placement in the movie is the Marie Calendars frozen foods speech by Christopher Walken

[@YourDecoySims]

JLo at 35:55 I am speechless. That analogy I guess was not what I expected. I gasped 🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Cecil_Arjun]

Right?! It's so funny LMAO

[@Ultimate214]

Okay, so now that this has happened...please watch Mariah Carey's "Glitter".

[@PanicattheDiscourse]

Might as well go for the hattrick and add crossroads.

[@fxntasyland2844]

YES

[@fxntasyland2844]

YES

[@nikkicole54321]

Oh yeah complete the trifecta of horrid early 2000s films.

[@KH0LRA]

_yes._

[@unodos2647]

23:12 Director: Uhh…Your line was: “I’m proud of my work and myself.”

[@taeri093]

That intro has me excited. Its been a while since we had a truly terrible movie 😍😍

[@freyjascats]

I worked at a movie theater when this came out, and we had to set it up and watch it to make sure everything ran correctly, and we had to take turns watching it because no one could sit through the whole damn thing. The yoga scene was THE.WORST.

[@drmsd14]

Wow, this one was an adventure! I feel beat up and exhausted. I'm so incredibly offended by the homophobic and misogynistic portrayal of lesbians as straight women in denial. JFC, straight dudes who wrote/approved/directed this garbage.

[@Fallenemiko]

Nothing will ever replace this series, bc at 37:48 when Kennie said “-and guess what happened?” I, OUT LOUD, went “….No…NO.” AND SHE SAID “-YES! YES, SHE GIVES HIM PITY PU$SIE” WHEN I SAY I SCREAMED

[@Shortandnerdyy]

I’m Filipino and I read the name of the film as GIGIL which means exploding from cuteness 💀💀

[@insignificantramblings]

I work at a pool and I super reccomend Paul Mitchell shampoo 3 for chlorine buildup! Use it in addition to your regular shampoo and you get basically no buildup

[@eknova]

When I heard that JLo's character was gay I went "Oh no"

[@AkiraTanaka11]

I do wish people would stop saying ''oh why not just make her bisexual?'' It would still be biphobic, you know that, right? Bi representation was and is already so bad (often we are hypersexualized and villainized, or completely erased and desexualized, and bi is always this 'dirty word' that's left unsaid), I know people saying stuff like that don't mean anything bad by it just... sigh. Honestly, bi authors/creators make the best bi characters overall, so let's just all agree that this movie should not have involved ANY lgbti+ characters whatsoever because they would always have done them dirty.

[@gab.bee123]

my life is changed by the line, "he just lays there like a dead roly poly in the sun". poetry

[@twilithorse]

I resent that this movie is just a toxic waste dump for the writer's radioactive bad takes, because there's the skeleton of a passable rom com in the overall plot. Hear me out- Rival mobsters working for the same family are forced to work together on a kidnapping gig. The catch? Their mark is a kid, and they have to play a convincing "aunt and uncle" so the kid doesn't get wise to the plot and try to bolt. Shenanigans ensue. Also just drop the badly handled lesbian subplot altogether or just make her bisexual oh my god.

[@AkiraTanaka11]

No, don't make her bisexual. Because the main guy would still be a fetishizing creep about her being bisexual. Honestly, even if she was straight, he would do these misogynistic ramblings either way about her ''not wanting him'', so it's a lose-lose-lose situation.

[@KayBassie]

As a lesbian I'm utterly disgusted. I didn't realize the full premise of this movie. Heard about this movie when it came out and wasn't keen on seeing it. I thought the gay aspect of it was that Ben's character thought Jen's was a lesbian. She's not and 'hilarity' ensues they fall in love. To know she was an actual lesbian... smh just upset my spirit. Ben and Jen just contributing to harmful stereotypes of lesbians, just wow They deserve each other.

[@LaurenJewel]

this girl is mesmerizing can we talk about it😩✋

[@janellehoskins1290]

I’m so glad never watched Gigli all those years and watched Kennie instead 😂

[@batsuclub]

my face as a lesbian listening to the breakdown of this movie: 😟

[@kalebmixon7822]

Ricky reminds me WAAAAAAAAYY too much of someone I met in highschool except her monologues were all religious sermons (and I told her every time that I’m an atheist)

[@idontknow898]

The black girl hair struggle is real 😭😭😭

[@Sintanity]

Kennie's reaction to a movie so bad it makes her excited is kinda how i feel when I see a video where she's already got her makeup on. There's a chance there's so much nonsense in this movie she just had to concentrate on talking only and i love that

[@dotcombabytm4644]

It's so interesting looking back on this movie and seeing Ben and Jennifer date again (AND get married!) decades afterwards. Also: Kennie you were serving some VOCALS in the beginning of the video! 😊😊💖💖💖💖

[@gabrielleanointed]

why are there so many big names in this thing?? why would they all embarrass themselves like this?? THEY must have been kidnapped lol. also - dead rolly polly lying in the sun - great analogy 👏🏽

[@asniffless]

Listening to Jennifer’s speech at like 33:10 is like listening to Cole Sprouse in a podcast lol

[@dylancastellanos87]

Who?

[@kimberleywilliams7802]

Lmao not negligent use of romcom music, love that 😂
