Comedy superstar Rob Schneider is back once more as Deuce Bigalow, the big-hearted male gigolo with the least down below. Fleeing to Europe following a near run-in with the Malibu PD, Deuce finds himself thrust back into the pleasure-for-pay profession when his former pimp (Eddie Griffin) is wrongly accused of murdering Europe's highest-priced man-whores. Working under-the-covers, Deuce seduces a bevy of super-freaky female clients (as well as Dutch supermodel Hanna Verboom) to learn the identity of the real killer in this outrageous laugh-orgy that will have you screaming with delight from start to finish!

If the repeated use of the phrase "man-whore" is your recipe for hilarity, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo is your movie. Rob Schneider (The Hot Chick, The Animal) returns as the hapless male prostitute, in this case lured back into the man-whore lifestyle in order to investigate the killings of European man-whores. His former pimp T.J. (Eddie Griffin, Undercover Brother) has set up shop in Amsterdam, where he finds himself accused of both the man-whore murders and of being a homosexual. From this slender, ridiculous premise springs dozens of gags about flatulence, breasts, and male sexual organs--in fact, the number of phallus stand-ins (noses, swords, man-whore of the year awards) would seem excessive to Aristophanes. And yet, despite all things crass and tawdry, Schneider remains bizarrely innocent, and this movie, like the first one, feels inexplicably sweet. The fundamental ethos of Deuce Bigalow is that everyone, no matter how they look, deserves to be loved. Such a downright Christian sentiment is rarely packaged in a movie featuring a cat biting a man's testicles or a woman gushing wine out of her tracheotomy hole, yet that's all part of the ineffable mystery of Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Also featuring Jeroen Krabbe (The 4th Man, The Living Daylights). --Bret Fetzer

I laughed really hard.
There is a lot of crude humor in this movie, so if you are easily offended, I wouldn't suggest watching. Otherwise, if you are like me and can relax and handle the humor, this is a great movie for that. I laughed so much that I had wet eyes at one point. I was slightly disappointed in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and I wasn't even going to rent this one, but I decided to and I'm glad that I did. If you're unsure, at least rent this, it's worth it.
Perversely amusing!!
I like the Deuce Bigelow character--a low achieving guy who has a gift for genuinely connecting with others. There were enough laughs in this for me to recommend it. In particular I liked the political humor.
However, there were some uncomfortably ridiculous moments and some gross-out humor that I did not enjoy and felt detracted from the film. Despite this, there is a pervasive sweetness to the film and to the Bigelow character that makes me like him anyway.
Very Stupid, But Funny
OK...Is this a sequel that needed to be made? No. Is it a movie that takes the same crappy sequel formula (move the location, use the same things that made the first one good). Yes. Is it bad? Yes. Is it funny? Yes. Is it better than the first? Amazingly, yes. It is a bad movie in the sense that critics (and a majority of the audience that thinks like critics) don't like it. It's bad in the fact it's a politically incorrect comedy starring the Happy Madison crew. Rob Schneider returns as Deuce Bigalow; Deuce is no longer a gigolo and hasn't been since he got married. Problem was his wife was eaten by a shark. When his old buddy T.J. (Eddie Griffin) calls from Amsterdam, telling Deuce to join him. Deuce does, but only because he caused an accident involving elderly blind people and dolphins. When Deuce gets to Amsterdam, he discovers that the gigolo market is a huge cash cow and that someone is hunting down and killing the gigolos. In an attempt to catch the killer, Deuce resumes his previous job...And finds love to. Yeah, it's a pretty stupid movie. But I actually liked it better than the first one; It's very funny (the chick with the wang for a nose was priceless) and some of the dialogue (especially the bits about America, homosexuality, and racism) were hysterical. The person who owns this movie, however, isn't Schneider...It's Griffin. Griffin as T.J. is freaking hilarious. There's a series of cameos that are very funny. Adam Sandler makes a brief appearance as a dead gigolo, but the few seconds he's onscreen are pretty damn funny. There's also Norm MacDonald, whose appearance wouldn't have been half as funny if not for
the reference to his long defunct sitcom at the end. It's not a movie for everyone, but if you're a fan of the movies that are produced by Happy Madison productions (all of Adam Sandler's movies, "Grandma's Boy" etc.)
then you should definitely dig this.
