Rating: Summary: ANY MANS FANTASY DONT LIE Review: Okay, I'll start off by saying that I am not an "across the board" Rob Schneider/Adam Sandler project fan. I didn't care for The Hot Chick or The Animal and Big Daddy got on my nerves. So, I'm not praising Deuce Bigalow blindly. The jokes are a bit juvenile through this, sure. That's to be expected with a Rob Schneider flick. If you want a wonderful script and Oscar-winning production, this isn't the movie for you (it cracks me up that people complain about the production and script on a movie like this, which revels in the fact that its sole purpose in life is to snatch as much cheap laughter as possible). Some jokes are even a bit overused and cliched (see Amy Poehler as Ruth, the girl with Tourette's Syndrome), but they make me laugh. The part when Deuce and Ruth are in the convertible and she starts uncontrollably shouting obscenities at the couple in the car next to them shouldn't be funny at all, but I still laugh. The scene where he's talking to the valet in the mens' room (who turns out to be his dad) while someone experiences a rather noisy, disgusting poop in the stall behind them shouldn't be funny at all, but I still laugh. The disturbing incidents in which TJ picks up and eats a tomato and a scoop of ice cream from the water in the hot tub that he and Deuce soaking in shouldn't be funny at all, but I still laugh (although it's laced with a slight cringe in these cases). And, of course, the ambiguously gay fish tank builder (Neil, I think is his name) makes all sorts of comments that lead to chuckling: "I know, I'm up to my bicep in it!" or "Look, I don't wanna flip you over and do you dry here..." Not exactly comedic genius displayed in this movie, but clever and plentiful enough to ensure laughter. A nice addition to a comedy collection.
