Summary: Still laughing the next day
Review: This is actually a sensitive Christian drama hidden in an offensive but hysterically funny wrapper, like a vitamin pill wrapped in bacon. A wonderful way to send the message that we need to accept and love one another as we are.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of the worst comedies I've ever seen!
Review: I really wanted to like this movie, but I've never seen so many jokes fall flat. Maybe there were two or three good jokes in there but that's it. Rob Schneider tries to be funny, but the script let's him down. I left the multiplex very disappointed...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: I bought this movie and i will never regret it. Rob plays a good role in this movie. It is funny and a great movie. This should be next in your DVD collection

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I'm Gonna Make This Short And Not So Sweet
Review: This movie had an unimaginative, simplistic plot and featured pathetic stereotypes of physically and mentally disabled women.(Teret Syndrome, tall women, and overweight women) I am sick of the whole "few weeks or days in the life of a complete loser concept" brought to movie goers by Saturday Night Live veterans like Adam Sandler(The Waterboy, Billy Madison) and now Rob Schneider. The concept for the entire movie was beyond my scope of understanding.( Me break stuff. Must become manwhore(prostitute) who acts goofy and unfunny to pay back real gigilo who left on business for three weeks.(Oh, Please) Rob Schneider should not star in any more movies. This movie was completely stupid and most of all it was a total zero in the laughs department. Do not rent or buy this drivel.

Summary: Needed more work in the shop
Review: Everything about DEUCE BIGALOW: MALE GIGOLO screams "putme back in development". This is a film that has the kernel ofgreatness about it, but which never gets enough expositional heat to pop.

Obviously rushed through production, the film's editing is terribly uneven, its characters are largely caricatures, and so much of the action is superfluous to the plot that it appears to have been written as filmed, rather than the reverse. Indeed, there's a schizophrenia to the film-a tension between utter banality and uplifting morality play--that never fully gets resolved. What Deuce Bigalow needed was less attention to making funny bits and more interest in its thematic whole.

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.

But otherwise, characters' uniqueness-be it their homosexuality, height, blindness, handicap, obesity, attractiveness, or even disease-are used more or less cruelly for jokes. Characters become *labeled* by their differentness, rather than *exposited* by them. Ironically, a film which concludes that peoples' sexual images would be improved by caring partners who could look at them as whole people, is continuously guilty of doing the opposite.

In short, I could not disagree more with the Amazon.com editorial review of this movie. It's nothing like THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. In that movie, the plot-and much of the comedy--comes from the characters' well-scripted relationships. Even the most outrageous scene in that movie makes sense from what we know of Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz' characters. 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: 4 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Leave this one on the shelf....
Review: Why was this film made?... This movie is such a waste of film. It was a bad script... When I saw the previews I didn't even want to see it. All I could think was another SNL alumni is making another bad comedy. But, alas, my husband picked this one...and i watched it anyway.(Nothing else was on t.v.) There was nothing about this movie that makes me want to recommend it to anyone. If you like offensive off color humor and don't care about how badly a film is acted, maybe you'll like it. Otherwise, don't bother.

Rating: 5 stars
