Summary: Rubbish Rubbish Rubbish!!!
Review: I am so sorry I spent the money buying this DVD , all I want to do is get rid of it. It has to be the worst I have ever seen , it was like a poor attempt at making a Naked Gun movie. Forget it , it is rubbish!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the FUNNIEST comedies ever!
Review: Rob Schnieder gives one of the funniest performances ever in this film about an unemployed fish tank cleaner who takes a job for a wealthy gigalo. He gets into some financial trouble after busting his bosses aquarium, and, with the help of a friend, becomes a gigalo himself, to help pay for the damage. Hilarious happenings occur, and its all fun from there on! Highly reccomended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well-written and hilarious!
Review: I'd never been a big Rob Schneider fan, but this movie has changed my mind. After the tears quit running down my face from all the laughter, I was able to really appreciate all the great points the movie makes. Rob's character is wonderfully naive (a trait absent from many characters) and completely unassuming (except when he buys the sea snails). His unwitting foray into the world of being a man-whore is a story you won't forget. The supporting characters are just as funny as Deuce, and even though they may have brief scenes, the scenes are memorable. You'll laugh until you hurt when he takes his "date" with Tourette's Syndrome out on the town, and you'll get a kick out of how he solves the problems of entertaining a narcoleptic. The little epilogues at the end of the film give you a great follow-up on how each of the characters fared out. One of the messages this movie puts in front of you is this: accepting people for their quirks or problems isn't that difficult if you really try.

All in all, a great comedy that reminds us that humanity is possible in any situation with enough effort.

Summary: Great DVD

Summary: One of the best comedies I've ever seen!
Review: I found this movie to be absolutly hilarious.If you are one for liking totally grotesque humor then I guarentee you will love this movie.If you liked "Theres something about Mary" then you will probably appreciate this movie, because they share the same type of humor.I also liked the movie not only for its humor but also that there was a point to the movie.Sometimes I find that comedies lack a point, but this movie definatly had a point, an underlying love story.I think most people would enjoy this movie, it is made for almost anyone over 13.People of all ages will enjoy it!=)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I Never Said My Tastes Couldn't Be Questioned...
Review: ....I loved it. It is flat out funny, I particularly liked the 'man-whore' tips from homeboy Eddie Griffin. The moovy is done so you'd get a kick outta the gags later on, and on successive viewing. Don'chu expect an expert analysis from my camp about the moovy. We cawn't do it, we're too busy laughin'...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: inane but amusing comedy
Review: While watching `Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,' you may well find yourself laughing out loud from time to time - and hating yourself for it afterwards. For this lame brained comedy, beyond being incredibly juvenile and silly in its comedic temperament, also manages to be as politically incorrect as possible, using as its targets the obese, the handicapped and an assortment of social outcasts and misfits. And, although the ribbing is generally quite good-natured and even affectionate at times, one can't help but feel a little guilty about laughing.

The formula for the film adheres very closely to the one employed by virtually all "Saturday Night Live" or "Second City" alumni in their initial forays into big screen comedies. Once again we have the usual bumbling nerd trying to win acceptance as a `cool dude,' making a shambles of everything he touches, yet ultimately managing to garner the respect of his peers and the love of a beautiful woman. Rob Schneider plays the title role, a professional fish tank cleaner who, through a complicated series of circumstances, finds himself delving into the realm of `man whore' in order to earn some much needed money. The stupidity of the premise and the situations cannot be underestimated as Schneider is put through a series of pratfalls, misunderstandings and verbal slugfests that are often quite amusing almost in spite of themselves. It takes either a certain amount of daring or a shocking degree of insensitivity (or perhaps a little of both) to line up a series of jokes and sight gags aimed at people who suffer from obesity, Tourettes Syndrome, Narcolepsy, blindness and limb amputation - but this film does it. Somehow, though, the film manages to treat its characters with such a genial fondness that it never seems particularly harsh or mean spirited. Whether or not that mitigates the feeling of guilt resulting from one's laughter must, finally, be a matter of personal conscience I suppose.

Schneider plays the lead in a nicely relaxed fashion, not succumbing to the hyperbolic mugging that so many comics are prone to indulge in when faced with similar roles. And what a pleasant surprise to encounter Marlo Thomas of all people in an uncredited cameo appearance - and still looking like a knockout in her sexy lingerie.

`Deuce Bigalow' may not sit well with the easily offended or with those who prefer their comedy to be of a bit more - um, shall we say - cerebral nature. Still, unabashed silliness makes for a fun time every now and then and, in that spirit, this film deserves to be seen.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Funny But Not That Funny Movie
Review: Deuce Bigalow has its moments and can be a hilarious movie. Lord knows Rob Schneider is funny enough, however the script isn't that good. The idea behind the movie is very funny, and with his talent, Schneider certainly does pull it off. Normally I would have given this movie four stars, however the screenwriters truly flubbed a great idea, I mean who wouldn't want to watch a movie about a man-whore?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A comic gem
Review: This film is brilliantly funny, but only if you flip your "uptight" switch to "off" first. After all, there are some people who might not find a movie about an aquarium maintenance specialist getting the chance to work part-time as a man-whore funny. My wife and I laughed so hard at this film, that I thought my sides were going to split; I think we almost passed out. Be sure to get the DVD version, as it looks and sounds great. This movie came and went almost unnoticed in the theatres; with a better marketing effort, it could very well have been one of the big comic films of the summer. As it is, it is sure to be a long-term best-seller at the video store, and in my book is worth owning simply so it will be there, on your shelf, when you want a laugh.

Rating: 4 stars
