Description of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo:
Saturday Night Live alum and Adam Sandler sidekick Rob Schneider plays the title character of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, a miserable fish-tank cleaner who stumbles onto a new and different lifestyle when he looks after the fish of a high-priced male prostitute (Oded Fehr from The Mummy). Deuce teams up with a man-pimp (Eddie Griffin), gets harassed by a crazed cop (William Forsythe), and of course falls in love with a cute client (Arija Bareikis). The nonsensical plot is festooned with gags about wet T-shirts, foul-mouthed senior citizens, flatulence, Tourette's syndrome, narcolepsy, and just about everything else you might imagine. More surprising is that, by and large, the movie works. It's a combination of bad taste and goodheartedness, similar to There's Something About Mary, which Deuce Bigalow is clearly emulating. It's not the pat "people should learn to accept themselves for who they are" theme or the formulaic happy ending; it's that the movie understands that sex is not the same thing as happiness or contentment. For all its crassness, Deuce Bigalow actually treats its characters as people, and the result is silly, obnoxious, and enjoyable. --Bret Fetzer
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo Reviews:
He Charges 10 Dollars But He Is Willing To Negotiate 
2008-07-01 - Rob Schneider stars in this outrageous comedy about a fish tank cleaner turned Gigolo. The movie starts funny and ends funny, every line is well brought out. Deuce (Schneider) is working at this big apartment as a fish caretaker. There he meets Antoine (Oded Faher) a male prostitute who has everything that any man would ever want. Cars, luxurious apartment, women, etc. while working there one of the fish get sick. Antoine asks Deuce to take care of it while he leaves on a trip...After that the humor goes up big time. I wont spoil anymore details but I must say this one satisfying comedy, a bit short, but satisfying. Well worth owning.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 ½ OUT OF 5
I love this movie!!! 
2008-04-08 - I'm a little biased on this movie because this was the movie my husband and I watched when we had our first kiss. Now, on our first Valentine's Day married, this movie was a great gift for him.
But about the movie, I love Rob Shneider; I think he is one of the funniest actors out there and always adds a little sweetness to his comedies. I thought the movie was funny from beginning to end. I totally recommend it as a good comedy.
Hilarious!
2008-02-15 - I loved this movie when I saw it nearly 10 years ago and STILL love it! It's a classic for anyone's DVD library. The whole movie is good, some cheesey parts but overall, keeps you entertained. My absolute favorite segment of the movie is Turrets Syndrome chick!! I play it over and over. Can't help but reenact that segment of the movie at random times with friends... makes for good laughs!
Great movie if you like a bit of raunch in your life-I do......
2007-09-03 - DB #1 is far less sexually crude in humour than the Deucey #2.
The basis to this first movie and the sequal if that: there are "he whores" and "he vagina's"----gigilo's--out there in the world who are an underground nation of men servicing attractive and not so attractive people. I laughed my head off.......
Great
2007-07-02 - My copy was stolen, along with 14 other DVDs, my stereo system, checkbook and a laptop. One insurance company replaced the laptop. The other one didn't give me that for the stereo. I replaced the movie. I liked it. And as a friend perceptively said, the hero is truly a "kind" guy. And none of the fish was hurt.
