Yet another Saturday Night Live alumnus makes his bid for big-screen success as Rob Schneider, best remembered as the "Making copies!" guy, tackles his first leading role in this broad comedy. Deuce (... read more read more...Rob Schneider) earns a meager living as a professional fish tank cleaner until he's asked to housesit for a gigolo. Deuce mistakenly answers the gigolo's business phone and finds himself having sex with a woman he's never met and getting paid for it (not a bad deal, since women generally avoid Deuce like the Ebola virus). It's not long before Deuce learns that there's more to selling your body than one might expect: for example, being re-styled by your pimp or having to explain your new source of income when the owner of the house gets home. Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo was the first feature film produced by Adam Sandler's production company, Happy Madison; Sandler himself makes a cameo appearance, while Oded Fehr, William Forsythe, Eddie Griffin, and Marlo Thomas highlight the supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Not a bad little movie. Schneider is able to make it watchable.

    Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is one of those films that had the potential to being really funny, and memorable. Unfortunately, the film was doomed right from the start by casting an unfunny, talentless "comedian" in the lead. This is a stupid, unimpressive comedy that fails to deli... read morever genuine laughter. This is a poorly conceived comedy that hasn't aged well. The jokes aren't good whatsoever, as a matter of fact the way the jokes are presented in the film, and it's almost desperate. The filmmakers clearly can't make anything work with this comedy, and they just create humorless, tasteless repetitive jokes in order to create "good" gags. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and this film is simply dull, unimpressive crap. Deuce Bigalow is the type of comedy of which the jokes get old very quickly. This is a film that Hollywood never should have green lit, but they'll make anything to make a quick buck. I hated this film, and felt was a waste of time. Rob Schneider is not funny, and it's with films like this that you wonder how can he still find work? He's a terrible comedian, and plays on one character in every film he does. This is one comedy that has unimpressive, dull comedic gags, and the film is a total crap fest from start to finish. If you're looking for a hilarious film, Deuce Bigalow isn't that film. This is a poorly conceived and completely forgettable comedy. Since its release, there has been far better comedies out there, and Deuce Bigalow is simply put an awful film from start to finish with no redeeming aspects that can salvage how bad it really is.

    Saw it again. Very funny movie, always makes me laugh no matter how many times I've seen it. Good story and nice ending. This is totally a movie just to laugh so don't take it seriously.

    A genius idea!!! I don't care if this is one of those silly films that no-one cares to like because of the comedy crowd it comes from, the idea of the dates and the solutions to their unusual circumstances, make for very entertaining, side-splitting laughter at times.

    Not as bad as I was expecting, actually I did laugh a couple of times! Inoffensive, silly and fun but nothing exceptional. I preferred it to most Adam Sandler movies though!

    Hilarious if you like stupidity! That's not saying much, but I really enjoyed this because I do enjoy stupidity, but sometimes there is just too much!

    Pssh.

    Funnier than I expected it to be, and not as gross as I thought it would be. It has some very funny scenes to do with dating. Worth checking out.

    The first part was very funny but they shouldnt have made a sequel.

Critic Reviews

Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today

The comic blithely stumbles through the rude slapstick as if he thinks the movie's real lead will show at any second and allow him to sink gratefully into second-banana status again.

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is just another in a long line of failed post-Saturday Night Live efforts. Full Review

If Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo were required to take a standardized test, its IQ would plot out lower than Jose Lima's ERA. Full Review

Just saying the name of this movie makes you feel stupid.

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Rob Schneider, its star, and Adam Sandler, its producer, keep finding new and wondrous answers to that limbo stick question, 'How low can you go?'

John Monaghan

Lowbrow humor.

Jonathan Foreman

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post

An inconsistently funny film that draws heavily and obviously on recent successful low-brow comedies like There's Something About Mary and Austin Powers.

Desmond Ryan

Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer

The jokes are unabashedly pitched at 12-year-old boys, with flatulence, masturbation and excretions as the leading themes.

What in heaven's name were the geniuses at Disney thinking when they green-lighted this moronic, mean-spirited excuse for a comedy?

Rob Schneider certainly has what it takes to play a doofy, soft-bodied poseur hustler, but this dim farce makes the mistake of setting him up with a series of tricks even lowlier and more pathetic tha... Full Review
