Description: Comedy superstar Rob Schneider is back once more as Deuce Bigalow, the big-hearted male gigolo with the least down below. Fleeing to Europe following a near run-in with the Malibu PD, Deuce finds himself thrust back into the pleasure-for-pay profession when his former pimp (Eddie Griffin) is wrongly accused of murdering Europe's highest-priced man-whores. Working under-the-covers, Deuce seduces a bevy of super-freaky female clients (as well as Dutch supermodel Hanna Verboom) to learn the identity of the real killer in this outrageous laugh-orgy that will have you screaming with delight from start to finish!
Amazon.com: If the repeated use of the phrase "man-whore" is your recipe for hilarity, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo is your movie. Rob Schneider (The Hot Chick, The Animal) returns as the hapless male prostitute, in this case lured back into the man-whore lifestyle in order to investigate the killings of European man-whores. His former pimp T.J. (Eddie Griffin, Undercover Brother) has set up shop in Amsterdam, where he finds himself accused of both the man-whore murders and of being a homosexual. From this slender, ridiculous premise springs dozens of gags about flatulence, breasts, and male sexual organs--in fact, the number of phallus stand-ins (noses, swords, man-whore of the year awards) would seem excessive to Aristophanes. And yet, despite all things crass and tawdry, Schneider remains bizarrely innocent, and this movie, like the first one, feels inexplicably sweet. The fundamental ethos of Deuce Bigalow is that everyone, no matter how they look, deserves to be loved. Such a downright Christian sentiment is rarely packaged in a movie featuring a cat biting a man's testicles or a woman gushing wine out of her tracheotomy hole, yet that's all part of the ineffable mystery of Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Also featuring Jeroen Krabbe (The 4th Man, The Living Daylights). --Bret Fetzer
A Rehash Of The First, But Not Bad As So Many Claim This sequel to the outrageous Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo brings back our beloved Fish Tank cleaner/Fish Taker/Occasional Male Prostitute, only this time it takes place in Amsterdam. it seems there is someone killing all the male prostitutes of that area. Its is up to Deuce (Rob Schneider) and T.J (Eddie Griffin)to find out who. Many cameos from the previous movie appear here, so that's good. The humor here is well balanced, but not as outrageously funny as the first. Plenty of the humor has been recycled from the first movie. but besides that it is a decent sequel that can be enjoyed by fans of the first or by others who have not seen the first. Worth viewing, and perhaps owning if you are a fan.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 OUT OF 5
Similar as first one but worse I actually liked the first Deuce Bigalow movie and thought this one would be good, too. Well, it was similar, but not in a good way. It's almost as if they ran out of ideas and decided to just bring in some from part one. Also, I didn't like that some of the characters from part one got killed off. Sure, I had a few laughs, but overall it just wasn't all that good. I'm selling mine, if anyone wants to buy it...
More of the Same- 2 1/2 stars This is basically the same movie as the first, except it is moved to Europe, obviously the reason being that people would have caught on that this is the same movie if it was still set in America. The worst part is that some of the jokes used in the first movie are used again in the sequel, which was funny the first time but not the second. If you liked the first movie, you will enjoy European Gigolo, and if you haven't seen this movie yet-you're not missing anything. The two movies are so similar that they don't need a third if it's anything like this. There is no way that a third movie could be any different. Yeah, the jokes were funny but to tell the same jokes again, it doesn't work. The series definitely needs to die. With all that said, it was still a decent movie.
"Instead Of A Nose, I Was Born With An Appendage On My Face." I was curious about this movie for one reason, and one reason only: the prominent position it holds in Roger Ebert's new (and wonderful) book "Your Movie Sucks." Ebert does not often mention his Pulitzer Prize, but did so in the introduction to his new book in defense of a fellow journalist with his extremely pointed and apt statement "Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks." There is a much longer story than that behind this statement, and I highly recommend you read the book for a full account of the happenings that brought it about.
As far as the movie goes, it is vile, disgusting, repulsive, and worst of all decidedly not funny: it utterly fails to live up to the standards Schneider sets in his other films.
The film begins with an explanation of how Deuce's wife was eaten on their honeymoon by a shark. To prove his undying love for her, he carries one of her prosthetic legs around with him wherever he goes (until the closing credits when an old woman makes it into a bong, anyway). Deuce (Schneider) is befriended by his old friend T.J. (Eddie Griffin) who now lives in Amsterdam. T.J. is the alleged straight man (sort of) and is wrongly accused of murder. He also eats French fries and fights off an eight pound housecat in what was but the first of many revolting scenes. Deuce falls for Eva, a fellow ichthyologist, and is entranced by her sketch of a "Sudanese Sweetlips," which actually is a real fish. In the meantime, we discover that Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is hilarious; this foreshadows the unpleasant case of dwarf tossing later in the film.
Deuce gets to date a variety of women in his undercover occupation. I will hit the highlights by mentioning that he gets to wear diapers for a giantess; he escorts a woman who has had a laryngectomy to a fancy restaurant, and is able to provoke a fountain of red wine to shoot from the stoma in her neck (do not inquire about her case of hiccups or the subsequent use of the stoma in the plot resolution...it is so heinous, I will not discuss the matter further); finally he escorts a woman wearing a veil who explains that she is from Chernobyl, and the her mother worked in the nuclear power plant while she was pregnant. She then elaborates further that she is wearing the veil because "instead of a nose, I was born with an appendage on my face." Need I say more? Do not even think about her sneezing fit on the dance floor. Really. Don't think about it.
The movie's alleged plot involves a killer of male prostitutes loose in Amsterdam, and the action peaks at an awards ceremony. The plot is resolved by the worst use of swordplay in screen history (and a special guest appearance by the stoma of fate.) The film then concludes with the worst ever "where are they now" vignettes ever committed to celluloid.
The DVD has many extras, including a "making of" short (see how the nasal appendage was created!), a casting reel, and an extra on the making of T.J.'s "Float Crib." It was more bearable than the film, but only marginally so.
After viewing this film (surely Schneider's very worst) I can only think that Roger Ebert was extremely generous in his appraisal. I would not recommend this film to any human being or other vertebrate of any kind.
