Summary: Totally Funny!
Review: When I saw the preview for this in the theaters I did not think much of it. However, when I rented the DVD from a local video rental store, I was glad I did! This movie is definately worth a rental and I would have even paid to see it in theaters - although at a matinee price. This movie deserves more credit than candybrain gives it in his/her/its review. Maybe all the candy has rotted his brain as I am sure it has his teeth. Of course, what can you expect from British humor? (C'mon, Monty Python is only just aw-ight, Benny Hill is way funnier!) It is kind of weird to see Rob Schneider in a lead role, I am more used to seeing him in supporting roles like in Demolition Man and Judge Dredd. He does a good job in this movie and the main character does suit Rob. Anyhow, I recommend at least a rental if you don't buy it. As for me, I will be adding this movie to my DVD collection!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh, how horrible
Review: I had so much hope for Rob Schneider's first big role ever. But I'm so sorry Rob, you're back in the gutter again. The movie started out funny with hope, Rob was funny throughout, but it's just I didn't like it. Probably also because I had a fever while I was watching it didn't help. But it just got so stupid. When movies start getting to fart jokes, that's when I turn it off.

Summary: Another unfunny American bloke
Review: this movie is what is wrong with you American Blokes shame on the states.Rob Schneidder and anyone else from SNL just wishes they were half as funny as those on Monty Pyton or SCTV.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I will be your gigolo for this evening
Review: This movie is hilarious! A movie about a fish-tank cleaner that suddenly gets thrown off course and must become a gigolo to pay back some money. Anyone with a sense of humor that doesn't become offended too easily will enjoy this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: This was a great movie with humor in it too. It's about a fish tank cleaner who has to take care of a mean male prostitute's beachside house for three weeks while he is on vacation in Switzerland. Deuce ruins the house, and has to go into prostitution toearn the money to fix up the house. I loved the movie. It is great. I really reccomend buying it. The only reason it is rated R is because of the plot and humor. It's not too bad but it's a great movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: I went to see this film with high expectations. Rob Schneider is usually thrown into very small supporting roles which are occassionally funny, but often consist of very little dialogue, mostly made up of incoherent jibberish or a dialect unheard of to most. This is Schneider's first starring role, but I think I actually prefer the 10 words he spoke in "The Waterboy" to the hundreds he speaks in this film.

Not only is "Deuce Bigalow" unfunny, it's boring and mildly offensive. It tries to relay a message to the audience, but the message gets messed up and comes across as "Prostitution is funny" and "If you're an outcast, paying for sex is the same as paying for friendship."

Rob Schneider fails miserably with this mess. Characters over-act to try to get a laugh out of the audience and lines are repeated, hoping to get a laugh the third our forth time around ("Man-whore," for example, is way overused). Characters are not given time to develop in the short running time and the ending is so similar to the average Adam Sandler film (who helped make this one), it seems as though he took the basic plot for "Big Daddy," changed a little of it, and then kept the ending only supplying in new dialogue.

To watch this incredibly bad film is a waste of time, although if you do decide to watch it, the film is quite short. The basic idea isn't bad, it was just poorly executed.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Real Ladies' Man
Review: After playing so many small roles, SNL's Rob Schneider finally gets his shot in the spotlight with the comedy "Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo". While taking care of a client's (Oded Fehr) sick fish, hapless fish tank-cleaner Deuce Bigelow (Schneider) accidentally trashes his client's luxury apartment. Now, in order to pay the repairs before his violent client returns, Deuce enters the world of male escorting. "Deuce Bigelow" isn't the best comedy of 1999 but is certainly a surprising and somewhat enjoyable comedy. The movie is filled with some hilarious comic situations and many outrageous characters including Bigelow's odd clientele. Schneider delivers some great laughs. The cast also includes William Forsythe, Arija Bareikis, Amy Poehler and Eddie Griffin. The hit comedy is presented in its original widescreen format. The DVD contains a very detailed video transfer and a clear 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. Its supplemental features include a short behind-the-scenes featurette, theatrical trailer and basic non-animated menus. The DVD also contains forced previews. Though not a comedy masterpiece, "Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo" scores a "C".

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Good but Very Predictable Comedy
Review: 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.
