 | Don't let the title, the ads or the hype throw you off seeing this film. Yes it is tacky, revels in crude humor and is the epitome of the summer film but underneath all the baggage beats a heart of gold. It really does embue the characters with surprising warmth that makes this film actually endearing. Allow yourself the guilty pleasure of seeing this film, it is certainly worth the ninety minutes of your life. |

| I have no idea why this movie just got 3 1/2 star. I saw this for the first time yesterday and laughed my head off. I can't wait to see the 2nd movie. If your in the mood for a good comedy then by all means by this movie. |

| Definitely a good romantic comedy, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, brings to the screen the story of an average guy who gets himself in the unlikely situation where he has to become a gigolo in order to replace a broken fish tank (!). As a result, he gets himself into all sorts of trouble. Things become a bit more complicated when he falls in love with one of his customers...
Rob Schneider, Oded Fehr, and the rest of the cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all wonderful!
In short, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is a movie worth watching and even though it is no masterpiece and it is quite silly at times (the detective really overdoes it...), it will surely put you in a good mood!

| Unlike his SNL alumni counterparts such as Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider can not carry a film and he is better off as a support character than a leading man. DEUCE BIGALOW:MALE GIGOLO is a prime example. Along with his other leading roles like THE HOT CHICK and THE ANIMAL all three films are unwatchable and excrutiatingly embarrassing to watch. Why they give the greenlight and the money to finance garbage like this is beyond the comprehension of this reviewer. This low (very low) concept travels into "sit-com" territory as Schneider in the title role mistakenly takes on the identity of a high class gigolo and the situations are not very funny and unwatchable. However, there is a one funny line where one of his "clients" is an obese woman. Schneider/Bigalow is not too thrilled and says to the woman "I think there's been a mistake!". The woman responds, "Did you say 'STEAK'?". That one situation alone is worth a few laughs, but the rest of the movie is completely disposable. |

| Okay. Here I go humiliating myself checking out Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999) and The Animal (2001) with Rob Schneider from NBC Saturday Night Live (1990-94).
This man can clean aquariums for aliving and is a fish doctor too. His neighbor, Antoine Laconte (Oded Fehr) is very well endowed and over-experienced with women. He is a gigolo. Antoine must go to Sweden for business, so he asks Deuce to take care of his expensive place for a week. By the way, if anything happens to his place or his expensive, exotic fish, he will kill Deuce with his Bow Gun. Well enough of that big talk. So Deuce gets to live the good life for a week. However, like "Ziggy", anything that could happen...does. One awful thing happens after another. Deuce has alot of cleaning up to do and damage to pay for before Antoine makes it back home. So Deuce decides to try and be a gigolo himself to earn the extra money he needs overnight.
His first client is a surprise! She is a well-known actress who used to work with Ted Bessel.
Amy Poehler (Saturday Night Live 2001-Present) also plays a date who has Tourette's Syndrome and yells every dirty word in the book.
Norm Macdonald (Saturday Night Live 1993-98) plays a bartender.
Yes! The man who played "Antoine Laconte" is the same Oded Fehr from Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004).
Sequel: DEUCE BIGALOW: EUROPEAN GIGOLO will be released August 12, 2005.
A "deuce" is the 2 of hearts card (or spade,diamond,clover). |
