The Couple: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Possibly the worst-ever cinematic collaboration by a real-life coupling, Gigli is now only remembered as shorthand for recalling the lowest point in Ben Affleck's career slump.
Failing as entertainment on every conceivable level, Gigli is a joyless watch akin to some kind of endurance test, an affront to the innocent viewer. Disbelief is the primary emotion evoked, as Affleck's lower-tier mob guy is given the job of taking care of mentally-challenged Justin Bartha (of The Hangover fame), and this important task is overseen by Lopez's hit-lady.
Unsuprisingly, Ben and Jen's relationship didn't last long after the film's release.
Onscreen Chemistry? As Affleck's unlikeable dolt gradually seduces Lopez's lesbian, you need some serious chemistry to even contemplate swallowing this without being grossly offended. Instead, you get Lopez asking Affleck to 'gobble, gobble'. Fail.
