Summary: Funny Movie
Review: This is a movie that is full of comedy, but you really must listen in order to catch some of the jokes. If you're easily offended, do not watch this movie! If you just looking for a funny movie full of spoofs and dirty jokes, then this is for you. There are gems here, to be sure. The basic theme, that the best kind of sexual attention is non-sexual in origin, deserves applause. And Eddie Griffin and Arija Bareikis put in utterly likable performances as Deuce's pimp and girlfriend. Funny but appears to have been rushed through production. Here, the plot isn't generated by Deuce Bigalow, it happens *to* him. Given that Rob Schneider wrote the film, it's odd that he forgot to write himself a character.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Retarded
Review: Amazon really needs to come out with zero star ratings because that is what this deserves. I happened to see it at a friend's house for free and I feel ripped off because of the time I spent seeing it. That is how bad it is. The first "joke" is: Deuce gets off the bus with a dripping pail in his hand. The old lady that follows him slips on the stairs. If you laugh at that level of humor, then you'll be happy with this movie. If you want anything higher, then this is an avoid at all costs!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny as usual
Review: I find that all the Rob Schnieder movies and Adam Sandler movies are hilariuos and this is no exception. If your a fan of either actor, then buy this DVD. This is one of those movies you can put on, turn your brain off and enjoy. It's a great to relax after a hectic week of work and school.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Moronic humor, yet very enjoyable!
Review: 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!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: All in all a very poorly crafted film.
Review: A fairly straight-forward premise of a guy turned male gigolo in order to pay off a debt. Unfortunately, this movie is just plain badly put together. The flow and the rhythm from scene to scene is clumsy. The editing is off. The casting is off. The humor is off (some scenes which are meant to be funny are actually quite morbid).
The build up to punchlines are badly timed. The script is poorly written. There are awkward pauses etc. etc. etc. All in all a very poorly crafted film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OUTRAGEOUSLY HILARIOUS!
Review: Rob Schneider plays the title role in this extremely underrated comedy. DEUCE BIGALOW is a fish tank/pond cleaner. He loves his job, but one day he is fired for cleaning a public aquarium whilst naked. He meets a rich gigalo(Oded Fehr)who he eventually ends up looking after a fish for, and one day, whilst trying out an exercise contraption at the gigalos' house(he is staying at the house while the gigalo is away)he smashes the huge fish tank that the fish was in....... what comes next is the pant wettingly funny part; Duece now has to make some money in time to rebuild the tank in time for the return of the gigalow, so he becomes a 'man-whore', he has some dates with some real wierdos, the question is does he manage to raise enough money in time? There are some great comedy moments, and a couple of parodies in there, all in all it is a real treat. The extras are minimal, the usual trailer and bios, and a making of... which isn't really that good. Good for repeat viewings too.excellent.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Scraping the bottom of the barrel...
Review: Rob Schneider is just plain annoying. I've never thought he was funny and never will. So, to say that I liked Deuce Bigalow would be more than an anomaly. This movie just plain stinks. The funniest parts, which are few and far between, you've already seen in the commercials. Eddie Griffin is the only funny character in Deuce Bigalow playing Deuce's pimp. Deuce is a fish tank cleaner who accidentally breaks a $6,000 dollar tank while fish sitting a gigolo's house. Needless to say Deuce takes to Man-Hoen' like a fish to water (sorry...). The movie centers around his motley crew of dates like the narcoleptic, the giant and the rather rotund African-American woman. The story is weak and so are the jokes. Rob Schneider is best in cameo role's like the Waterboy "You can DO IT" or in Big Daddy as the delivery man. But at 90 minutes this film felt like 3 hours, it's just too much Schneider to go around. Avoid!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the funniest, most underrated movies the past 5 years
Review: Rob Schneider isn't given the credit he deserves. Deuce Bigalow, The Animal, and now The Hot Chick are all hilarious movies, relying on witty writing and quick comedic timing to pull it off. Rob Schneider just doesn't *look* like a leading character is the problem, he actually looks like a regular guy, unlike Adam Sandler or David Spade--okay maybe they aren't exactly super-man-models, but ya get my drift? Schneider plays Deuce Bigalow, a man stuck in a rut to pay for the damages done to his friend's ruined apartment, and he is given a short time limit. So of course he turns to man-whoring, the obvious choice; however, he-whoring is not all cracked up to be, with clients ranging from an over-weight black woman with a pair of huge kazoongas, a narcoleptic, a woman with tourettes syndrome, a giant Norwegian, and a woman with a fake leg. Of all these women, he finds one who he falls in love with, and is coincidentally the only woman he does his Male Gigolo duties with--you know what I'm talking bout.
It's not just a simple love comedy flick, it's quite witty in dialogue surprisingly. The characters are well portrayed, especially the Tourette Syndrome chick.
Get this movie if you're looking for a good laugh, without a lot of nudity or vulgarities.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is this movie really a comedy
Review: I had this rented out for 5 days and during that time I watched it and only laughed (by mistake) during the first viewing, and didn't (at least I can remember) not laughed the last two viewings. Comedy movies at least have me laughing once during when I watching one like Shrek, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). But last summer I watched (for the first time ever) two comedy movies that make me laugh more tahn once, when I watching the movie, South Park, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, and Max Keeble's Big Move. As the movie opens, Deuce Biaglow (Rob Schneider) is a fish tank cleaner, is cleaning a fish tank without any clothes on, gets fired. So in a pet store he sees a sign for a person to clean a fish tank outside a big apartment, and one day he sees a mean gigolo named Antoine Laconte (Oded Fehr). But when one of Antoine's fish gets sick and he has to go to Swizerland for business, he hires Deuce Bigalow to care for his fish. But warns to keeps the apratment clean. And Deuce has also got to becareful because Antoine has a medival weapsons collection. But when Deuce accidntly breaks the big fish tank, and gets a repair guy (Andrew Scnifer) to look at the fish tank, he charges Deuce Biaglow $6,000. But Deuce has to get that much money in three weeks before Antione gets back for Swizerland.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Chick flick in disguise
Review: Okay, this isn't a great film but I have to admit it's one of my guilty pleasures, mainly because of its endlessly enjoyable gags, its hilarious array of supporting characters and, let's face it, the sheer ludicrousness of Rob Schneider as a gigolo. But I also enjoy it because it has a second level of sell: hose off the toilet humor and you'll find that this is actually a chick flick in disguise. It has much more to say about romantic insecurities and the kind of men that women are looking for than it does about male prostitution. It's this warm hearted through-line that pulls "Deuce" out of the gutter and really makes it work. Well, that and the girl with Tourette's. She gets me every time.
