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
When it comes to Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, your friendly neighborhood film critic is even less useful than the Maytag repairman.
It is the first work by a director named Mike Bigelow. I assume he got the job because of his name. One day he'll look back on this and weep bitter, salty tears.
At times, European Gigolo feels more like an international incident than a movie.
It casts such a wide net that the best way to avoid getting offended is not to go.
I miss the old days of bottom-feeder comedy, like back in 1999 when Rob Schneider first played a male prostitute dating a bevy of human freaks.
Along the way, you pray we've finally reached the nadir of gross-out movies; that it's all uphill from here.
Rob Schneider's shtick still amounts to little more than shameless self-deprecation. It's as though he'll do anything for a laugh -- except elevate the humor itself.
Good for Schneider that he was able to bilk a major Hollywood studio out of an estimated $20 million to make this reeking bucket of sewage. Bad for anyone who has the misfortune of seeing it.
It's one thing for Schneider to ask us to laugh at him, but to laugh at deformities, even if they are absurd, is crass and vulgar.
Least imaginative of all -- the TV-commercial director they hired to film it. Yeah, his name is Bigelow, Mike Bigelow. That must have been a real knee-slapper of a meeting.
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.
[Producer] Adam Sandler is a generous friend to Rob Schneider but a sadist to the rest of us.
There is something to be said for the uncompromising idiocy of the film, but that something is unprintable.
This bare-bones plot is merely an excuse to string together a series of gross-out jokes involving bodily fluids, private parts, food and genetic deformities.
In his 1999 debut, Deuce Bigalow emerged as a shameless beach bum, driving a clunker in a land of Porsche Cayennes, cleaning the scum from the fish tanks of the rich and famous.
