'I Survived Gigli' Farewell Bash Planned in Boston

Tue August 12, 2003 04:01 PM ET
BOSTON (Reuters) - A Boston radio station is giving listeners a reason to see the film "Gigli," the box office wreck starring Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck that some critics have panned as the worst film of the year.
As "Gigli" vanishes from U.S. movie theaters following dismal ticket sales, alternative rock station WBCN is offering to give "I survived Gigli" T-shirts to anyone left in their seats when the lights come up after the final showing at a Boston cinema this Thursday.

Chachi Loprete, the station's creative services director, said WBCN is offering free tickets to 130 "lucky" listeners.

"We're doing this because the movie's been such a bomb," he told Reuters on Tuesday.

Critics have savaged "Gigli." The New York Times dismissed it as a "hopelessly misconceived exercise in celebrity self-worship," while the Washington Post said it was "enervated, torpid, slack, dreary and, oh yes, nasty, brutish and long."

The $55 million film brought in less than $6 million during its first 10 days, according to North American box office estimates issued on Sunday.

In the film, Lopez, also known as J.Lo, plays a lesbian crook who helps Affleck's dim-witted character in a kidnapping plot.

If it wasn't my poker night, I probably would have done it. From what I hear, it's a bad movie, but there are worse ones.
