Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo [2000]
The title character of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, played by Saturday Night Live alumnus and Adam Sandler sidekick Rob Schneider, is a miserable fish-tank cleaner who stumbles onto a new and different lifestyle when he looks after the fish of a high-priced male prostitute (Oded Fehr from The Mummy). Deuce teams up with a man-pimp (Eddie Griffin), gets harassed by a crazed cop (William Forsythe), and of course falls in love with a cute client (Arija Bareikis). The nonsensical plot is festooned with gags about wet T-shirts, foul-mouthed senior citizens, flatulence, Tourette’s syndrome, narcolepsy, and just about everything else you might imagine. More surprising is that, by and large, the movie works. It’s a combination of bad taste and goodheartedness, similar to There’s Something About Mary, which Deuce Bigalow is clearly emulating. It’s not the pat “people should learn to accept themselves for who they are” theme or the formulaic happy ending; it’s that the movie understands that sex is not the same thing as happiness or contentment. For all its crassness, Deuce Bigalow actually treats its characters as people, and the result is silly, obnoxious, and enjoyable. –Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

Customer Review: funny guy
I like this kind of silly film and thought Weekend At Bernies was hiliarious - so now you know my level you can read on. This will not be everyone’s cup of tea obviously but as a farce it is good. You know what’s going to happen to the enormous fish tank, but it’s HOW it happens that’s the key.

I have watched this film twice and I have to say, for all I said above, it does not stand up to repeat veiwing unlike such films as Something About Mary for instance. Hence only 3 stars.

Customer Review: Not Bigalow On Laughs
This is really terrible; a comedy that seems to miss all the targets; with its dull actors and weak script;juding by this film heaven knows how Schneider is able to get acting work.
