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
A scattershot movie where you sit and wait for that next two minutes of funny stuff which often never comes.
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.
How many more times are we going to have to sit through that feeble gag about the latex glove and the body cavity search?
The kind of picture those View n' Brew theaters were made for, as long as you don't View.
Attend enough movies and you begin to pick up clues. 'Directed by Akira Kurosawa,' for example, means something. 'Starring Rob Schneider' means something else.
An inconsistently funny film that draws heavily and obviously on recent successful low-brow comedies like There's Something About Mary and Austin Powers.
As in Sandler's movies, the humor here is coarse and superficial, clearly reveling in being as politically incorrect as possible.
The problem with Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is the low level of its low humor.
Rob Schneider certainly has what it takes to play a doofy, soft-bodied poseur hustler, but this dim farce makes the mistake of setting him up with a series of tricks even lowlier and more pathetic than he is.
A couple of these situations are funny, a few are real clunkers, and it all fades away like a slightly bad odor.
The plot is nothing more than a skeleton upon which to hang the gross-out jokes.
Deuce Bigalow is satisfying comic relief sandwiched in among a thicket of melodrama.
Rob Schneider is charming as the title character, and he manages to keep his character earnest and likeable even while transforming into a full-fledged male prostitute.
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
