Ben Affleck stars as Larry Gigli who does odd jobs for some less than savory individuals, like collecting money and acting as muscle. His latest assignment is to kidnap a mentally challenged young man in order to put pressure on his powerful brother. A woman (Jennifer Lopez) shows up at his door the next day saying that she's there to make sure he does his job right, but things get complicated when they are ordered to cut off the thumb of the young man and they find out that he is really the brother of a federal prosecutor. Also with Justin Bartha, Al Pacino and Christopher Walken. Directed by Martin Brest. [2:04]

SEX/NUDITY 7 - A man and a woman talk in detail about the differences between the male and female sex organs and debate which is the ultimate sex organ. A woman kisses a man, pinches his nipple, invites him to perform cunnilingus on her, they kiss, he lies on top of her, and then she rolls him over and climbs on top of him; she takes his shirt off, they kiss and she thrusts her hips rhythmically. A man and a woman kiss in a couple of other scenes. A man gets into bed with a woman and tries to entice her to have sex with him. Also a woman invites a man and another woman to have sex together.

A man cuts the thumb off a dead body with a plastic knife (we hear sawing, crunching and tearing and later see blood in a tissue).
