Crude and tasteless as the first one which I happen to enjoy. There are some jokes that sort of fell flat but the stuff that happens to Eddie Griffith makes the movie so much funnier. Also the newer clients for Deuce are just as repulsive as the first one, well maybe alot more repulsive especially the woman with a hidden male espontage hidden under her veil.

The set up is pretty simple where Deuce must go under cover as a member of the "Man whore society" where members that male prostitute club have been slowly killed off one by one and Eddie Griffith gets framed and photographed in fellatio positions with the dead male gigalos.

I've never been a huge fan of Rob Schnieder. I found his appearances in Adam Sandler's comedies often grating and he annoyed me in almost everything I saw him in. But then I saw THE HOT CHICK, which actually turned out to be a hilarious and charming comedy that I ended up loving. I started warming up to him and don't hate him anymore. But that might change after seeing his new film, the disgusting, offensive and unfunny DEUCE BIGALOW: EUROPEAN GIGOLO, easily one of the year's worst films.

The premise is simple and incredibly preposterous. Deuce's love interest from the first film has been killed off and now he simply carries around her prothestic leg - the only remains from a tragic shark attack. After an incident occurs on a beach in Malibu, Deuce decides to jet off to Amsterdam to visit his old friend T.J. (Eddie Griffin). But trouble ensues when a man-whore killer is on the loose and T.J. gets the blame. Now Deuce must find the killer and save his friend from jail before the International Man-Whore Awards, a yearly event that the killer is planning to bomb.

DEUCE is a disgusting film on every level. Not one of the gags made me laugh in the slightest. So many of them were incredibly vile and even at times hard to watch. Rob Schnieder once again plays the "lovable idiot" role but he annoyed me here. Eddie Griffin, who is usually solid in comedy, is horrible as T.J. - an unlikable asshole of a character who is homophobic and idiotic. The only bright spot in this entire film is Deuce's love interest, played by Hanna Verboom. She is likable and cute and does her best with what she has to work with.

Director Mike Bigelow doesn't even take advantage of the enviornment that he is filming in, instead running from sight gag to sight gag with no real purpose whatsoever. The film, although short in length, is nearly unbearable and I felt it was just the right running time. I couldn't have taken much more.

Overall, this is a horrible film which fails on every level. Instead of an amusing gross-out comedy, it is homophobic, offensive and disgusting trash. Avoid at all costs.

4/10 (D+)

Deuce Bigelow Sequel: Victim of Critic Male Ho Prejudice!

3% on Rotten Tomatoes my ass! Deuce Bigelow 2 manages to whoop that trick not just once, but for multiple whoops. This movie has been intentionally under-rated due to it's subversive undercarriage of a theme. This is Kinsey all over again! Deuce Bigelow: European Gigolo hereby joins the pantheon of male ho comedies, and surprisingly, does it with an emotionally resonant screenplay that was so good, that it made me feel like a man plus! This is not to mention all the subversive European culture/political jokes...

This is a masterpiece of low comedy.

5 out of 5.

I don't see how you could have enjoyed it so much.

While the "idiotic" part is arguable, I staunchly disagree with your assessment of the Eddie Griffin character as homophobic. As clearly borne out by the screenplay, that is simply untrue!

I had the advantage of seeing it directly, not through the eyes of media critics...

(Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. )

what a great movie!!

4/5

just curious, a great movie with 2 !! but only a 4/5.

Wonder what you would have said about a 5/5 movie?

*************************

On the movie, it was fun / good - usually I prefer the first movie in a series more as it is original / fresh - but both movie were fun for fans of Duece humor.

Everyone catch the cameo at the end?

and on Ava - cute/pretty face, great body, fantastic ass.

****************************

I believe he adds a third exclamation mark...

I think 5 stars would not be a great movie, but a masterpiece.

indeed .. great movies can only be 4 or 4.5

masterpieces are 4.5 to 5 .. yes .. both can share 4.5.

it was funny, but not nearly as funny as the first.

Did you ever get the chance to watch the first movie? Did you enjoy it?
Good because its more of the same gags here, except this time, on
steroids. Much like ‘Family Guy’ recycled gags from other shows yet made
them its own by going where no show has gone before (by adding shock value
and complete randomness), ‘European Gigalow’ takes every gag one step
further and audiences will be left saying ‘ewww’ and ‘ha ha’ at the same
time.

Deuce Bigalow (Rob Schneider), has just lost his wife to a shark (comedic
genius) and is now trying to move on with his life, and his wife’s
prosthetic leg. While he is causing havoc on the beaches, he gets a call
from his good pimp friend, T.J. (Eddie Griffin) who seems to be in a bit
of a mess. Accused as the man-whore killer of the Netherlands and
accidentally labeled as ‘gay’, T.J. seeks the help of Deuce to get him out
of this mess. Deuce once again, puts on the mantle of a man-whore, becomes
a part of T.J.’s he-bitch stable and we’re once again introduced to women
with disturbing yet hilarious issues.

The movie relies heavily upon gay and gross out humor and if that offends
you, then stay away. The highlight of the film is waiting to see how T.J.
will once again get himself incriminated as a man lover. Even though you
see it coming a long way off, Eddie Griffin does a great job of making the
moment as fresh as ever.

The same can be said for Deuce. The character is generally likable and
innocent, and trying to point out the positive side of any situation. The
same can be said for most people in the film as well. While you won’t
notice much in the form of character development, its ok as the film
primarily relies upon unimaginable and over the top situations to provide
uncontrollable laughs for those into this sort of thing.

The film by no means, is anything like Wedding Crashers. It doesn’t carry
a large demographic appeal nor is it funny in a traditional sort of way.
The movie is more reliant on moments. If you are amused, you will be very
amused but otherwise, you’ll just shake your head wondering what you’re
doing there. At the end of the day, it’s a good flick to watch with a
bunch of friends especially as a rental. Light hearted and not too
serious, this film will go down in history as a worthy sequel, yet
forgettable.

Grade: B

Europe has taken its fair share of verbal lampooning in the last few years of cinema. The 2004 teen comedy 'Eurotrip' was basically a 100 minute joke about European stereotypes. Well, another film enters into this sub-genre with 'Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo' starring Rob Schneider and Eddie Griffin in the sequel to the surprise hit from 1999, 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.' The film is directed by the questionably named Mike Bigelow (I'm betting this is a clever joke on the audience and the real director is, as rumors have suggested, star Rob Schneider).

The story is an attempt at adding an element of mystery (if you can call it that) to a comedic franchise. This time Deuce, now single after his wife from the first film passed away (seeing the original isn't totally necessary but highly recommended nonetheless), heads to Amsterdam to help clear T.J. (Griffin) of murder. It seems that all the European gigolos are being killed off one by one by an unknown assailant and T.J. has been framed. There's a good likelihood that the murderer is a she-john (female hooker/prostitute) bent on eliminating the competition. This requires Deuce to resume his duties as a man-whore and find the killer before anyone else dies. Nonstop low-brow humor (this film just might be the crudest film I've ever seen) ensues.

'Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo' is a sporadically funny lark of a film. While the first one was consistent in its mission to induce laughs, the sequel is more hit and miss. The film starts off with anything but a bang. The first 25-30 minutes of the film are mostly humorless aside from a few throwaway gags that work almost in spite of themselves. The crude humor here is just that, crude but painfully unfunny at the same time. As the film lumbers through its first paces, one begins to wonder when the film will get to the bread and butter of the series: Deuce's dates with women who always seem to have some debilitating disorder or another and how he helps them overcome said issues.

Thankfully, once the film gets to the dates it becomes raucously hilarious in its own especially vulgar way. Basically every joke has to do with one bodily fluid or another but the film utilizes them to garner laughs while simultaneously leaving the viewer thinking "They didn't just do that, did they?" Needless to say, the film pushes the boundaries of the R-rating, leaving other recent R-rated comedies like 'Wedding Crashers' in the dust as far as lewdness is concerned.

The film also benefits from its creative use of sets as more often than not, humor will come from someone or something in the background when you least expect it. A particularly riotous scene involves a yarn-chasing cat and leaves Eddie Griffin's T.J. in a world of indescribable pain.

In the lead, Rob Schneider once again steps into the character of Deuce Bigalow like Deuce is his real-life alter ego. He fits the role like the perfect shoe fits one's foot. Lending support once again as his pimp is Eddie Griffin. The versatile comedian brings the perfect sense of attitude and mischief to the role along with retaining dynamic rapport with Schneider even after not having played alongside him for more than half a decade. Also making an impression as Schneider's requisite love interest is the stunningly beautiful Hanna Verboom. She is surprisingly deft at physical comedy and shares chemistry with the actor.

If you can weather the beginning portion of 'Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo,' you will discover a film that is oftentimes hilariously over the top.

Grade: B

A little dissapointed.

The original one wasn't that great, but it was actually very funny. It was a fresh idea into the genre, which made it even better. European Gigolo, however, was not very good. Not because it was completely stupid, because God knows I've seen a lot of stupid films. But, because it just went so over the top, and it wasn't even funny when it did go over the top.

Eddie Griffin single handidly saved this film from being a complete waste of time. All his lines made me laugh.

The rest of the film was okay, but nothing great. C-

Yeah, Griffin was the only tolerable thing. For me, I wasn't bothered by the "homophobic" parts, I actually thought the film was quite the opposite. However, the movie does offend a LOT of people, especially people who have or know others that either have OCD or have certain disabilities. So yeah, it took it a bit far there. But then again, if there was anything funny besides the bit with the dolphins and Eddie Griffin it wouldn't have mattered. But after seeing The 40-Year Old Virgin again I just thought it was all really weak. D

After watching Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo again a few days ago, I wanted to get a sense of what gags were recycled into the new film. Surprisingly, the film isn't one big repeat of the first film, although there's plenty that is seen in both movies.

Simply put, if you're offended by anything, you'll likely not enjoy yourself. If you can take anything, have fun with an incredibly solid sequel. No, it's not quite as good as the first (I would have graded it an A-/B+), but it's still a funny film. Rob Schneider is still underrated in my opinion, while Eddie Griffin (who I am not a fan of at all) is better in the sequel than he was in the first movie. And, Deuce's love interest (she has OCD) is incredibly charming. Once I saw her, I knew she had to be the main love interest in the film (we knew there had to be one, after Deuce's first wife was eaten by a shark).

One of the funniest things for me was at the end: "Norm McDonald still wishes he had a sitcom." Poor Norm.

Grade: B

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo

I cant believe i actually wasted $2.50 on this i went to see it with a big group of friends from school, some of us including myself wanted to see Red Eye, but the mayority wanted Duece 2 so yeah i saw it....

Anyways, yeah the movie sucked and to make matters worse it was edited to make it B15 (PG-13 but for 15 and older)

OMG it was awful, most of the “jokes” just failed misserably..... meh!! Mostly everything was stereotyping people and racial comments

D-

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow - C+

Meh, not that bad. The first was better for sure though. Norm Macdonald, while he had the funniest scene in the first, he was kind've wasted in this one. Schnieder had a bit lesser laughs than he should've had. The movie wasn't overly funny at all, but I don't know. It was heartful maybe? It was somewhat enjoyable at least.

C


I really dislike the original, so it was a surprise to me that I halfway enjoyed the sequel. I mean, Rob Schneider ist still less talented than a brick and one of the worst comedians out there, but Eddie Griffin delivered a very funny turn here and saved the film. I must say that I laughed a couple of times. The movie is very stupid, but thanks to a running time below 80 minutes it's not boring. It's a mediocre film, but I expected it to be far worse.

Sometimes you do stare boredom in the face.

If you find this movie "boring", it is clearly not your kind of movie - low comedy is surely not for everyone - but the million dollar question is: Why would you bother watching it?

Bradley, there is a difference between good and bad low comedy. This is the latter.

That's funny, except for your grade, your review seemed almost positive...
