Yeah I suppose her uttering the word pussy was supposed to be shocking but it was just stupid. Just like the rest of the movie.

Wasn’t there also something about how vaginas have lips or something so you are supposed to kiss them… Oh God its all coming back to me now… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

J-Lo’s point in that yoga scene was that your first impulse with someone you’re attracted to is to kiss that person. On the [hyperbole deleted] lips. Why is the mouth so sensuous, she asks rhetorically? Because it resembles a vagina, of course. The object of every quest, so J-Lo says. Whereas a penis, on the orther hand, resembles a garden slug or a big toe, and who’d want to kiss a big toe?

I don’t know why I remember that scene so well. Yich.

You’re missing something if you’ve never nibbled (and licked and sucked) someone’s toes. Toes can be quite sensual.  
I’m just sayin’ …

The slogan on that T-shirt – “I survived Gigli” – is far too nice.

It should say “I survived J-Lo gouging my eyes out, B-Fleck rupturing my eardrums, and the two of them together forever ruining sex for me – and all I got was this fucking T-shirt.”

Personally the best review I heard about this one so far is…

“After Gigli, I had to go watch Battlefield Earth a few times just to cleanse the palette.”

Ranks right up there with Episode 1 review: “The only way this fuckin film could have satisfied the buildup was to have Jesus show up in the film, walk straight out of the screen and up the aisle at every showing.”
