Summary: I like it
Review: I rented this when it first came out on VHS. I watched it again and again. At a friends house recently, I viewed this on DVD. Wow! They have a big screen tv and surround sound. I did not know that you could watch this in full screen and wide screen, but I was glad that it was in wide screen. I had seen it several times in full screen. The DVD had VERY crisp sound and color. The 5.1 was great, but mainly it was the crispness that astounded me. I know how crisp DVD is, but after seing it on VHS so many times, I was impressed. It didn't have many special features, but the ones it did have (storyboard to scene comparison, production featurette, and the theatrical trailer) were very entertaining. But, it was only about 10 minutes total of special features. I would have liked to see more in the way of deleted scenes, but it was still good. The only problem is that this came out at the beginning of DVD; it has a lot of special features for it's time, but also it much more expensive. DVD's have gotten cheaper with more special features. ...

Video: A, fantastic
Audio: A-, very good
Special Features: C; good, but not too many. I know that this time period didn't have many special features, but have you ever heard of Fight Club or The Matrix? I think this should be re-released with everything the same, only a lot more special features.

God Bless America!!!!!!

Summary: Another 'empty calorie' faux sex comedy
Review: I try to give comedies a break, because I think that making a really funny one is a hard feat for a movie maker to pull off. It's apparent that the makers of Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo tried to make a likable movie, albeit a loud and vulgar one. Sadly, the results are like an over-inflated tire that works fine until it blows out halfway through a trip. At some point while watching this trifle, I went from being mildly amused to gritting my teeth.

Rob Schneider, yet another Saturday Night Live graduate, plays Deuce Bigelow, a not very bright guy who cleans pools for a living. The high point of his life seems to be seeing if the babe at the local fish store will get her T-shirt wet when she scoops fish out for him from a large aquarium. One day he gets a decent gig in Malibu where he meets Antoine [Oded Fahr], a gigolo who makes his living off women. Deuce is impressed. When Antoine leaves him in charge of his apartment for a few weeks, Deuce is fine until he breaks a $6,000 aquarium. Deuce must make money in a hurry to fix the damage, and soon Antoine's pimp has the hapless, middle-aged pool man working for him. His customers include an eight foot tall woman, an enormously fat black woman [played by a man], a girl with Tourette's syndrome, and one with part of her anatomy missing.

Deuce's capers are supposed to make you laugh, but the movie wears thin because its basically the same joke over and over. There are plenty of gross out jokes and much bathroom humor. The story throws political correctness to the four winds, which will bring hearty laughs to some but turn others off. The picture is fairly obvious and heavy-handed. In fact, when it's not trying to gross you out, it becomes strangely sappy and sentimental. There's none of the off the cuff lightness of There's Something About Mary here.

Deuce is not a character I can relate to. In fact, I can't relate to Rob Schneider either. He has none of the sweetness of Adam Sandler and none of the borderline psychotic charm of Jim Carrey. I find him merely competent, and in the world of movie comedy, that isn't enough.

Summary: Really Funny!
Review: This is a movie about a man named Deuce Bigalow who is a fish tank cleaner. Deuce gets into a little debt, and ends up working for a pimp. Deuce is also bugged by a cop who can't stop unzipping his pants. My favorite scene in the movie is where Deuce is playing "Food Trivia" with the fat lady. Overall, I thought this was a pretty good movie. I would reccomend it to fans of "There's Something About Mary" and "Office Space".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I guess I'll just take some Sea Snails then.
Review: Movie Summary: Deuce Bigalow male fish tank cleaner is pretty much of a loser. He's not mean or anything, just a big dorky loser. Women pay him no attention, not even the old ladies that slip on the bus stairs. Deuce ends up getting into a little trouble and needs a lot of money fast. He ends up working for a quirky man pimp. He is also dogged by a psycho cop who keeps unzipping his pants. Will Deuce's life keep getting worse, or will he be able to turn things around and make some friends? It's not that hard to guess.

My Opinion: Again, this is another movie where the viewer has to be able to differentiate Oscar contenders from silly light hearted escapist entertainment. In this case, Deuce is a silly sometimes offensive light hearted movie. It was made that way. It's intentionally stupid. The bathroom humor is meant to be offensive. As such, I felt the movie really worked. I thought it was really funny and enjoyed the stupidity and silliness. There is actually a plot, and a good message to the movie. Yes I said a message! The wide range of women that Deuce takes out is very funny. How he deals with each one is very cute. The psycho cop that has skin problems is both gross and funny. "Hey Bigalow, take a look at this will ya?"

DVD Quality: Widescreen anamorphic, DD 5.1 decent sound and picture quality. The few extras include trailer, making of, and story board comparison.

What You Should Do: See it if you liked any of the movies below. Buy it if you loved them. Skip it if you can't handle silly comedy. The main story line is such that your wife or girlfriend will not be too mad at you for making her sit through it. If you are going to buy it, go for a previously viewed copy. Retail is way too high on this one.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: Rob Schneider came from the best "family" of Saturday Night Live actors. Most of them have had their own feature length films...what about Rob? It was a bit of a wait...but it was worth it. Deuce was one of the best laugh riots to come out since Happy Gilmore. Rob was wonderful, but Eddie Griffin stole every seen that he was in. Griffin's ... speeches were the highlight of the film. If you enjoyed Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore this will not dissappoint...it was the first DVD that I purchased. The only thing that kept this from getting a 5 is that it could have used more features on the DVD version...but the movie itself makes up for it.

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!

Summary: A DEFINATE CLASSIC
Review: Just like his former ex-SNL partner, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider has created a comedy classic that's worth adding to your DVD collection... If you're not in to laughing at outrageous things or just don't get it when something happens that there's really no explaination for, and you just can't help but laugh our head off, then this isn't for you... but by all means, go get a life and try and have some fun for a change!!

Summary: Side Splitting Stuff
Review: I was recommended this DVD by a friend, and my estimation in his choice of judgement has increased dramatically. My wife, not known for her love of movies of this kind, gave me the usual, "I hope thats not a comedy" look. However I was in for a pleasant surprise, not only was I getting immense pleasure from watching the movie, but I even noticed that the wife was also enjoying this comedy feast. A simple story, followed up with some great acting, and a good script ...... totaly hilarious. So impressed were we, that when it finished we popped it on and watched it again. I certainly would not hesitate in owning this movie .... in fact whilst I'm writing this, I may just watch it again! Go get it, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Short But Sweet
Review: Deuce Bigalow (Rob Schnieder) is a fish tank cleaner who is left in charge of a very rich and powerful male gigalo name Antoine. When a series of accidents leave Deuce in need of money, he gets in the gigalo buisness with a friend (Taye Diggs) and has some very "different" clients.

Diggs and Schneider are funny in this 88 minute comedy that is rude and innapropiate but great. You should buy it. It's really funny.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This movie is freakin' hilarious! It's one of the funniest things I have EVER seen. The plot is simple. A fish tank cleaner, Deuce, (Rob Schneider) is hired to clean the fish pond of a wealthy gigolo, Antoine (Oded Fehr, The Mummy). But Deuce notices that a very rare fish in the fish tank in the house is very sick, so Antoine asks Deuce to stay in his house for a couple of weeks while he's away on business and take car of his ill fish. When Deuce causes $1000's of damage to Antoine's house, he looks for a quick source of cash and resorts to "male-whoring". Just about everything in this movie is funny.
