Summary: Funny, funny movie!
Review: One word: HILARIOUS! Unforgettable scenes include two (one near the beginning and the other toward the end) showing rip-offed quasi-fight scenes ala Matrix. When I saw these particular scenes in the theatres, the entire audience erupted wildly! Other noteworthy parts include the one which mentions "bibingka" (my fellow Filipinos can relate to this; it's probably the first time the word was ever mentioned in a Western film!). That particular scene seemed to me, however, to be somewhat offensive - when Deuce's father enlightens him on his mother's occupation as a Thai prostitute. I may of course be wrong, but what I found quite offensive in this was not only an implication that Thailand was a haven for this profession, but also the obvious error that the scriptwriter made when he alluded to the "bibingka" as being a Thai delicacy (as far as I know, it's Filipino). Again, I may have gotten things wrong here, since I only watched this once. Comments anyone?All in all, still a fun movie to see though. Wish they'd added more fatures to the DVD however.

Summary: Hilarious movie
Review: If you like Austin Powers, you'll like this movie. It's extremely tasteless, and makes fun of people, and if your into that you'll like this movie. If you don't have sense of humor, stay away!

Summary: You too can be a man - whore, Just watch this movie!
Review: Rob Schneider delivers with a bang in a non - supporting role. This movie will send you in a side splitting laughing frenzy. Don't be insulted, it should be taken in fun, because thats what it is. The characters in this movie are built up hilariously. William Forsythe portrays his insecure character with a seasoned comic feel. This film ranks up there with Happy Gilmore in the riotous humor genre. An excellent DVD to add into comedy collection.

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Review: The plot line really is nothing to right home about but you only realise this when/if you analyse the movie which you shouldn't do. This is a fun movie and nothing more. I laughed more watching this movie than any other in 1999. I was even laughing while I walked out of the cinema with my friends. It is gross, sick, disturbed and creates riotous laughter.

Summary: Mean-Spirited Stupid Movie!
Review: This is not a good movie. And people with weight problems, dyslexia, sleeping disorders and missing a member will probably be offended at the way the movie handles this type of problems. The plot is stupid and merle an excuse to make Rob Schneider a gigolo who visits 'unstable' women. While lightly entertaining and with some funny moments, it's mean-spirited and simply not funny at times. From a scale of 1-10 I give this movie a 3!

Summary: Funny as Hell
Review: This was probably the funniest movie that i saw last year Rob Schnieder was absoulutly hillarious and so were all the other people. There was a comio by Norm Macdonald as a bar tender. I highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Saturday Night Live.

Summary: Not an American movie classic, but still hilarious
Review: I am reading the reviews for this movie and there seems to be a lot of the negative type. Why is that? This is a very funny movie and Rob Schneider fits the role perfectly in my opinion. I guess I can see what other reviewers are saying about how this is a dumb movie, but for me it is a guilty pleasure that never fails to crack me up the whole way through, and I have seen it on many occasions. The story begins with Deuce cleaning a public aquarium(naked all the while). He loves what he does but ends up getting fired. He finds work for Antoine(hope I spelled it right) who turns out to be a gigolo. When he travels to Switzerland, Deuce is tabbed with watching his house while he is away. All goes well until Deuce accidentally knocks over a $6000 aquarium, and soon resorts to being a [male prostitute] to make the money to replace the tank before Antoine returns. What results is a hilarious number of "dates" that involve women with abnormalities, until he finally meets one girl he falls in love with. So I wont give away any more plot, but how does it all turn out? Just watch the movie to find out. If you havent seen it yet, just try not to take it too seriously and let yourself be entertained. As far as the dvd goes, there are hardly any extras. Video and sound quality are great though, so I suggest you give it a chance. This is not/will never be a masterpiece of filmmaking, but it is a lot of fun and good for many, many laughs along the way.

Summary: Can Rob save a fish and his own dignity?
Review: Okay. Here I go humiliating myself checking out Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999) and The Animal (2001) with Rob Schneider from NBC Saturday Night Live (1990-94).
This man can clean aquariums for aliving and is a fish doctor too. His neighbor, Antoine Laconte (Oded Fehr) is very well endowed and over-experienced with women. He is a gigolo. Antoine must go to Sweden for business, so he asks Deuce to take care of his expensive place for a week. By the way, if anything happens to his place or his expensive, exotic fish, he will kill Deuce with his Bow Gun. Well enough of that big talk. So Deuce gets to live the good life for a week. However, like "Ziggy", anything that could happen...does. One awful thing happens after another. Deuce has alot of cleaning up to do and damage to pay for before Antoine makes it back home. So Deuce decides to try and be a gigolo himself to earn the extra money he needs overnight.
His first client is a surprise! She is a well-known actress who used to work with Ted Bessel.
Amy Poehler (Saturday Night Live 2001-Present) also plays a date who has Tourette's Syndrome and yells every dirty word in the book.
Norm Macdonald (Saturday Night Live 1993-98) plays a bartender.
Yes! The man who played "Antoine Laconte" is the same Oded Fehr from Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004).
Sequel: DEUCE BIGALOW: EUROPEAN GIGOLO will be released August 12, 2005.
A "deuce" is the 2 of hearts card (or spade,diamond,clover).

Summary: Maybe I just didn't watch the whole video enough...
Review: ...but I just couldn't find any flaws. Well, any flaws worth mentioning anyway.
Now, comedies are no longer Hollywood's thing. They lost that a long time ago. However, I am pleasantly surprised when a comedy like this comes along. Most comdies I've seen have mostly slapstick stuff, nothing really worth spending money on. However, a few comes along which tries to stop the slapstick. There's Something About Mary did it, surprisingly well, and Deuce Bigalow does the same.
Fortunately, there wasn't too many overused cliches in this movie. That's what gets me. Hollywood nowadays doesn't even try anymore. They take a movie, no matter what is it, slap some romance in (usually the romantic chemistry is around the nil to you better NOT be serious area), then call it a movie. Deuce Bigalow obviously is a better effort, and I applaud it for that.
I laughed maybe once or twice during this movie (actually, it was more of a chuckle), but you would have to be a genius to make me laugh more than that during a movie, so I would say Deuce did well. Personally, I thought TJ was the best part of this movie, but everyone had their moments.
(...)
The story is interesting, although the concept is crappy. All women want is a nice guy who tells them that they're not hideous? Yeah right, Deuce. Either way, I didn't expect the story to be mind-blowing.
The movie is very good. I highly recommend it.
