Rob Schneider is Deuce Bigalow, a bumbling fish tank cleaner. When Antoine, a successful gigolo with a sick fish, has to leave the country for a few weeks, he offers Deuce the opportunity to housesit for him. Predictably, Deuce manages to trash the place and must enlist the aid of pimp TJ (Eddie Griffin) to help him pay for the damages. TJ turns him, in a series of absurd preparations, into a prostitute. The subsequent encounters with self-conscious females provide the film with its biggest laughs, and eventual moral: enable a woman to feel confident about herself and she will learn to love you no matter what you look like.

Reviews for Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
There are parts of it that are genuinely cute, and given the level of raunch, it's almost innocent.
Sure, it's a non-stop cavalcade of tasteless jokes and crude sexual humor, but there's nothing wrong with that. I like tasteless jokes and crude sexual humor.
Court-ordered chemical castration isn't enough -- someone needs to take away Rob Schneider's SAG card.
The only thing that changes is the star: Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, David Spade or Rob Schneider. Other than that they're the same movie over and over again.
Bizarre comedy of errors is surprisingly good-natured, but not that good.
This movie is pretty stupid. If you like stupid then go, but don't say I didn't warn you. Adam Sandler fans might dig this one
