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 know some really serious reviewers will dump this movie because it is too un-serious for them, but it really is cool. The awesome soundtrack makes up for some of the silly storyline, and the wet-your-pants laughing factor is just too high.

Deuce (Schneider) has just been fired from his job at cleaning tanks, after an accident. Then he gets a job looking after some mate's fish. It's not that easy, because when he breaks the fishes tank, he must repay $6000 before the huge guy comes back! Eek - so in order to do so, he must become a gigolo, and wonder how much trouble Robby will get in this time?

I don't recommend this to all people, because some might find it offense, but if your looking for a laugh and have nothing to do - see this cool little flick!

Rob Schneider stars in this outrageous comedy about a fish tank cleaner turned Gigolo. The movie starts funny and ends funny, every line is well brought out. Deuce (Schneider) is working at this big apartment as a fish caretaker. There he meets Antoine (Oded Faher) a male prostitute who has everything that any man would ever want. Cars, luxurious apartment, women, etc. while working there one of the fish get sick. Antoine asks Deuce to take care of it while he leaves on a trip...After that the humor goes up big time. I wont spoil anymore details but I must say this one satisfying comedy, a bit short, but satisfying. Well worth owning.

MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 ½ OUT OF 5

DB #1 is far less sexually crude in humour than the Deucey #2.
The basis to this first movie and the sequal if that: there are "he whores" and "he vagina's"----gigilo's--out there in the world who are an underground nation of men servicing attractive and not so attractive people. I laughed my head off.......

Rob Schneider shows off his comedic talents here, deliverying his best movie to date. Any fans of his movies or even Adam Sandlers movies will definitely want to add this to their collection, while anyone else may get a few laughs out of this but find the story a bit flat. I rate this up with Happy Gilmore for laughs and entertainment, it is very funny with a wide range of hillarious characters. Great performance by Schneider himself as well as brilliant performances by Eddie Griffin, William Forsythe and Oded Fehr. Great fun, well worth the money in my opinion.

First of all, let me say that "Deuce Bigalow: Male Giggolo" garnered far fewer negative remarks from customer reviewers than I expected. Although this picture is certainly less than politically correct with some of its humor, I completely disagree with the reviewer who referred to it as "mean-spirited".

Rob Schneider turns in a fine performance as Deuce Bigalow, a fish tank cleaner with a dead end job and no romantic prospects until he is asked to house sit for a "man-whore". After damaging the house he has to make $6,000 quickly and turns to-you guessed it-male prostitution. This plot opens up a number of possibilities and almost succeeds in answering the question of what kind of woman would want the services of a male prostitute. Deuce is paired subsequently with an overeater, a woman with a growth disorder, a woman with narcolepsy, and a woman with Tourette's syndrome. Along the way he falls for a woman who also has an imperfection-a prosthetic leg. Unfortunately this woman doesn't know Deuce is a male prostitute who was hired to go out with her by her friends. I won't tell you how the picture ends other than saying its very predictable.

What I find particularly noteworthy about this picture is that it uses afflictions as comedy fodder but somehow manages to do so without ridiculing or denigrating, a nice touch for this kind of movie. The humor sometimes frequently gets kind of childish and silly, but then again those who purchase or rent "Deuce Bigalow" usually know what sort of humor to expect from a movie involving a former SNL cast member. It's a good one to rent, but given the predictability of the plot and the rather tepid level of the gags I would definitely not purchase this one, especially on DVD.

Okay, I'll start off by saying that I am not an "across the board" Rob Schneider/Adam Sandler project fan. I didn't care for The Hot Chick or The Animal and Big Daddy got on my nerves. So, I'm not praising Deuce Bigalow blindly.
The jokes are a bit juvenile through this, sure. That's to be expected with a Rob Schneider flick. If you want a wonderful script and Oscar-winning production, this isn't the movie for you (it cracks me up that people complain about the production and script on a movie like this, which revels in the fact that its sole purpose in life is to snatch as much cheap laughter as possible).
Some jokes are even a bit overused and cliched (see Amy Poehler as Ruth, the girl with Tourette's Syndrome), but they make me laugh. The part when Deuce and Ruth are in the convertible and she starts uncontrollably shouting obscenities at the couple in the car next to them shouldn't be funny at all, but I still laugh.
The scene where he's talking to the valet in the mens' room (who turns out to be his dad) while someone experiences a rather noisy, disgusting poop in the stall behind them shouldn't be funny at all, but I still laugh.
The disturbing incidents in which TJ picks up and eats a tomato and a scoop of ice cream from the water in the hot tub that he and Deuce soaking in shouldn't be funny at all, but I still laugh (although it's laced with a slight cringe in these cases).
And, of course, the ambiguously gay fish tank builder (Neil, I think is his name) makes all sorts of comments that lead to chuckling: "I know, I'm up to my bicep in it!" or "Look, I don't wanna flip you over and do you dry here..."
Not exactly comedic genius displayed in this movie, but clever and plentiful enough to ensure laughter.
A nice addition to a comedy collection.

I didn't know what to think about this movie. I watched Rob Schneider on "Saturday Night Live" but before he became popular, Rob was a Filipino-American who loves comedy. One thing that made me happy was to see him insert part of his Filipino heritage in the movie with the bibinka cake. Otherwise, how about the movie. I really enjoyed it! It was so funny and enjoyable that I never got tired of it. It was really entertaining.

The audio and video is pretty good in the movie. It's mostly a dialogue movie and I really didn't notice any major sound usages on all speakers but otherwise the quality of the video and audio. Good but not the best.

The DVD came with a few special features such as the featurette and comparisons. Would of loved to hear a commentary from Rob about the movie. It also came with a trailer.

All in all, this movie is really entertaining. Moronic...I love moronic humor and very witty! Check it out!

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!

Deuce Bigalow(Rob Schneider) is hilarious, the movie is super funny and silly,perverted funny. Rob Schneider does not disappoint. Better than the sequel. See this one first. Eddie Griffin Is Hilarious as usual.
