I can't believe it's rated so low in IMBD


Iv never seen the movie but I'm almost certain it isn't that bad. Maybe a 4 or 5 iv never seen anything lower than like a 4 and you guys tellin me Ben Affleck an JLo made a 2?

The fact that JLo is in here lookin good automatically gives the movie a 4 no matter what. So idk who was hatin but cuz she in it an sexy it can't be lower than a 4

Gave it a 6, it isn't even bad.

The hate was probably a direct result of the world's backlash against "Bennifer." By the time Gigli came out, not to mention Jersey Girl, we were all so f#n sick of all the Bennifer nonsense and hype that these two could have released something on par with The Godfather and the world still would have hated it. I thought Ben was quite wonderful in Jersey Girl.

Over the last decade, Ben Affleck has certainly proven he's a force to be reckoned with, behind camera and in front, and JLo showed her acting chops in Selena. But circa 2003, the world was intent on hating virtually anything that emerged from the Bennifer Beast.

No, it's not that bad. The problem is that it just doesn't know what it wants to be - a romcom, something stylish like "Out of Sight," or something darker and Tarantino-esque. It tries to be all of those things at some point, and it just doesn't work.

But it's far from one of the worst movies of all time. Heck, there were far worse movies released in 2003 alone.

I think this is the most underrated movie of all time. It has a lot of cringy dialogue and certainly isn't a great movie, but I enjoyed it. It currently has a 2.4 on IMDB which puts it in position 22 on the list of the lowest rated movies of all time. I think it should be around the 5.5 to 6 range.

It's not actually that bad, I'd give it a 6 too.
