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
Jokes that were barely funny the first time around -- like Griffin's endlessly resourceful terminology for male prostitutes and their anatomy -- now feel as tired as Deuce after a heavily booked weekend.
What is most annoying is the sequel's capability of inducing laughter even as one hates oneself for so easily succumbing to the total silliness of it all.
Schneider has little to offer as a leading man besides a goofy grin and a willingness to be sprayed with bodily fluids.
It's good to know someone can still make a good stupid movie, a movie that knows how to laugh at itself instead of merely catering to mankind's lowest instincts.
Either you're down with Deuce Bigalow or you're not. It's as easy as that. (We chose to go lowbrow on this one.)
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo gets less funny as it goes along. Considering that this alleged comedy wasn't funny to begin with, that's actually quite an accomplishment.
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.
The title contains two words most of its potential audience won’t be able to spell.
There is absolutely no reason on God's green earth a second Deuce should ever exist.
Sorry, Deuce fans, but Schneider's faux-sexy alter ego is back with a thud, not a bang.
How many other movies can have Big Ear Girl called up in the closing credits?
Plays like a second-rate Mad Magazine racing through a version of The Aristocrats as if its crap punchline was actually the prize.
Apparently, in shooting on location in Amsterdam, [the filmmakers] spent the budget on legal hashish rather than on focus pullers or decent film stock.
It is what it is, and sometimes a little own-skin comfort goes a long way.
Note to Adam Sandler, who co-produced this film: Enough already. For the sake of future generations of moviegoers, we beg you to stop getting movies made for your friend.
I did get through it without being overwhelmed by the urge strangle myself, so the movie has that going for it.
The worst movie of the year; it gets an unprecedented half point on our rating scale - even a penis enlargement pump couldn't suck a whole point out of this movie.
