Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald: Rob Schneider's shtick still amounts to little more than shameless self-deprecation. It's as though he'll do anything for a laugh -- except elevate the humor itself. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: Schneider, one of the luckier of all Saturday Night Live alums who now make millions in the movies, may well be a fine fellow and excellent company on the set, but on screen he's blank affability incarnate. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: Along the way, you pray we've finally reached the nadir of gross-out movies; that it's all uphill from here. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: At times, European Gigolo feels more like an international incident than a movie. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo is the cinematic equivalent of a bunch of 13-year-old boys in a locker room, repeating dirty phrases they've just learned. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: There's nothing wrong with stupid, gross-out humor if it's funny. But if it's not funny, all you're left with is stupid and gross. Read more
Janice Page, Boston Globe: Sorry, Deuce fans, but Schneider's faux-sexy alter ego is back with a thud, not a bang. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Director Mike Bigelow maintains a mercifully swift pace, and while the film's humor is deliberately as crass as humanly possible, it is not truly mean-spirited, even though Amsterdam is depicted as a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah. Read more
Vic Vogler, Denver Post: Schneider, who co-wrote the script, has succeeded in making a film that's nearly review-proof: Most of the dialogue -- packed with names for fictitious sex acts and the gigolos who perfect them -- is unrepeatable in a newspaper. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: The world thanks you, Rob Schneider. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Lest someone cry 'pompous puritan,' let's quickly state that irreverence is often at the heart of inspired comedy. But this flick's flamboyant political incorrectness is more malicious than mischievous. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: One of those sequels that seem to have been made less out of inspiration than because the right co-production deal came along. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: It would be best appreciated by (a) children of blind, castrated, hearing-impaired Hollywood executives suffering from Tourette's syndrome and arrested development, (b) comic actor-writers who look like Richard Simmons. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: There is something to be said for the uncompromising idiocy of the film, but that something is unprintable. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Jokes that were barely funny the first time around -- like Griffin's endlessly resourceful terminology for male prostitutes and their anatomy -- now feel as tired as Deuce after a heavily booked weekend. Read more
Ned Martel, New York Times: In his 1999 debut, Deuce Bigalow emerged as a shameless beach bum, driving a clunker in a land of Porsche Cayennes, cleaning the scum from the fish tanks of the rich and famous. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Least imaginative of all -- the TV-commercial director they hired to film it. Yeah, his name is Bigelow, Mike Bigelow. That must have been a real knee-slapper of a meeting. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Aggressively bad, as if it wants to cause suffering to the audience. Read more
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail: Schneider has little to offer as a leading man besides a goofy grin and a willingness to be sprayed with bodily fluids. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: A happily idiotic sequel. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: All he has left of her is a prosthetic leg, which he totes around devotedly. Yes, that's the kind of inane humor we're dealing with. But, amazingly, amidst the smutty silliness, there are some laughs. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Rude, crude and, uh, cosmopolitan, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo waves the flag for R-rated politically incorrect studio comedy but doesn't top the laugh ratio of the first Deuce misadventure. Read more
James Crawford, Village Voice: It's an unimaginative, mean-spirited gross-out that forgot to bring the funny. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: With this latest exercise in cynicism, however, it's not Deuce's satisfied clientele, but the audience, that gets the shaft. Read more
