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
The transitions from one skit to the next are inexcusably messy and sometimes downright embarrassing.
Deuce Bigalow is satisfying comic relief sandwiched in among a thicket of melodrama.
As in Sandler's movies, the humor here is coarse and superficial, clearly reveling in being as politically incorrect as possible.
If Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo were required to take a standardized test, its IQ would plot out lower than Jose Lima's ERA.
It must be nice to be Rob Schneider, working in an industry that rewards you for who you know rather than any actual talent.
The plot is nothing more than a skeleton upon which to hang the gross-out jokes.
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is just another in a long line of failed post-Saturday Night Live efforts.
If you plunk down your money thinking that the film will be an Oscar contender, you'll be disappointed.
An inconsistently funny film that draws heavily and obviously on recent successful low-brow comedies like There's Something About Mary and Austin Powers.
