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. Two
women look at each other admiringly. A woman showers and we see her bare back
and part of her bare breast, and we see part of a woman's bare buttocks and a
thong. A woman wrapped in a towel comes into a room. A man takes off his shirt
and flexes in front of a mirror, and a man takes off his robe and stretches in
front of a woman. A woman stretches her leg up over her head while making a
phone call and a man admires her, and a woman does yoga poses while talking to a
man about sex. A woman talks to a man about being a lesbian. Women wear outfits
that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens to the hip, and bare legs. Men and women
wear bikinis and swimsuits in a beach scene and they dance. We see a painting of
a woman in a bathing suit (cleavage is evident).
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A man is shot in the head: blood and organic
matter spray into and on a fish tank where we see fish nibbling at the pieces as
they sink into the water, and we also see blood dripping copiously from the
man's head wound. 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). A woman
takes a kitchen knife, slits her wrists and blood pours from the wounds. A woman
describes (in detail) to a group of young men how to use the fingers to pull out
an eye ball and leave the victim with no visual memories. We see a morgue with
dead bodies in plastic bags. A man is gagged, shoved into a clothes dryer and
threatened by another man. A man tells a man to cut a young man's thumb off. A
man yells at a man and woman and waves a gun around. A man yells at a young man
and shoves him against a wall, men yell at many people throughout the movie, two
women yell at each other, and a woman and a man yell at each other. A man gives
a woman an injection in the buttock. A man kidnaps a young man and they yell at
each other in several scenes. A man threatens a man. A man breaks a laptop
computer over his knee.
