Jeering ‘Gigli’ -- starting with the title
- Share via
The poor showing of “Gigli” (“A ‘Wedding’ Banquet While ‘Gigli’ Starves,” by R. Kinsey Lowe, Aug. 4) points out once again the importance of a title. It was doomed from the start. Although we’ve been told by the producers that it rhymes with “really,” how could it? “Geally?” Come, now! Can you imagine anyone saying, “Hey, let’s go see ‘Geally!’ ”?
