The film opens with Deuce Bigalow (Schneider) at the beach doing research on fish, where he is bullied by a couple of kids. The situation quickly escalates into a catastrophe involving elderly blind people and dolphins. So when he gets a call from an old friend, T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin, MY BABY'S DADDY), with an invitation to join him in Amsterdam, Deuce deems it wise to accept. Accompanied by the prosthetic leg of his recently deceased bride (she was eaten by a shark on their honeymoon), Deuce shows up in Europe only to find that a mysterious killer is knocking off the city's man-whores. Worse, T.J. is implicated, so Deuce is forced to go undercover and search for the killer on his own, hoping to clear his friend's name. He suspects the killer is a woman, and so he has a string of flawed dates--a woman with a penis for a nose, one with massive ears, and a hunchback, among others. Along the way Deuce makes each freakish date feel special, and falls for the niece of the detective assigned to the case (former model Hanna Verboom). Meanwhile, T.J. comes up with a vast array of creative synonyms for gigolos and their equipment. Everything comes to a head at the 73rd annual Man Whore Awards, where Deuce proves his mettle and things fall together in surprising ways. Though the jokes are unashamedly lowbrow and many have been seen before, Rob Schneider is characteristically endearing and no one will escape without a giggle, however reluctant. [More]

Reviews for Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
It’s so wrong at times, like the throat hole, but they milk it to the point of exploiting hiccups, so they’re not relying on the easy jokes. They work for it.
At only 77 minutes, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo is about 76 minutes too long.
Bodily fluids seize enough screentime to earn a supporting-actor credit.
There's nothing wrong with stupid, gross-out humor if it's funny. But if it's not funny, all you're left with is stupid and gross.
Watching it is like having somebody's annoying pubescent nephew elbowing you in the ribs.
Sorry, Deuce fans, but Schneider's faux-sexy alter ego is back with a thud, not a bang.
Unfortunately, tacky and tasteless comedies are not often taken seriously, making it rare that they're accorded their just due for anything that they may do particularly well.
Aggressively bad, as if it wants to cause suffering to the audience.
Schneider, one of the luckier of all Saturday Night Live alums who now make millions in the movies, may well be a fine fellow and excellent company on the set, but on screen he's blank affability incarnate.
Schneider é um daqueles sucessos inexplicáveis de Hollywood: sem o menor talento, é considerado engraçado apenas porque está disposto a se sujeitar ao ridículo.
You’ll live a happier, fuller life without watching a cancer patient shoot wine through the hole in her neck.
"Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" scrapes the bottom of the barrel and licks all around the sides.
Lest someone cry 'pompous puritan,' let's quickly state that irreverence is often at the heart of inspired comedy. But this flick's flamboyant political incorrectness is more malicious than mischievous.
Schneider, who co-wrote the script, has succeeded in making a film that's nearly review-proof: Most of the dialogue -- packed with names for fictitious sex acts and the gigolos who perfect them -- is unrepeatable in a newspaper.
