Saturday Night Live alum and Adam Sandler sidekick Rob Schneider plays the title character of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, 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

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Humorous, August 7, 2005

By	Robert Sabonjian (Waukegan, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its cool!, May 27, 2000

By	"kill_4u2000" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars A movie worth watching!, May 2, 2005

By	L Gontzes (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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!
