To be mentioned with Uwe Boll … that’s the worst thing any director can hear, Ken.

But he deserves it for all the reasons you mentioned.

Actually, Leelee “whiskey voice” Sobieski was even worse IMHO, esp. toward the end, when the film completely went off the rails; special non-credit must also be given to mis-director Jon Avnet, though he’s still only the third-worst helmer of two 2008 relases, behind Uwe Boll and Friedberg/Seltzer…

The director isn’t a kid … he should know better. But perhaps he realized that his awful movie needed some distractions.

I couldn’t believe all the bizarre cuts and slow-mo shots. The film didn’t have a story anywhere near good enough to accomodate visual tomfoolery.

I had forgotten Pacino was in “Gigli.” It’s only a cameo, but I recall him nibbling on some of the scenery. A light snack, if you will.

This year’s “Gigli”, huh? Sadly enough, Pacino also (briefly) appeared in that one…
