I've thought about that so much. I don't think "Gigli" is going to be the biggest blockbuster. Even the name itself "Gigli" doesn't make it too appealing. I'm also not the biggest fan of anything J-Lo. Don't like the music, haven't liked one of her movies, and she's definitely overated as a sex-symbol. But, if it works for Kevin...whatever floats your boat i guess. If Gigli sucks, it will definitely have it's impacts on Jersey Girls box office. Even if it does pretty well, people will still be saying, "I just saw a fucking Bennifer movie, I dont' give a shit if this one is by Kevin Smith" But, Jersey Girl will probably have a bigger bank if Gigli does half-decent. So, although I have complete faith in Jersey Girl and think it will be a good flick, having it come out at the same time but after Gigli, really eats balls for Kevin. But, hopefully not only Smith fans will see the movie. Maybe we can depend on all those hardcore J-Lo fans or those teen and pre-teen girls praying that Ben will take off his shirt in this movie, to get Jersey Girl to gross what it deserves.
