"The hit-making producers of Big Daddy now deliver Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo--a hilarious, must-see smash starring the always outrageous Rob Schneider (Big Daddy, TV's Saturday Night Live) in his funniest role yet! A professional fish tank cleaner, Deuce (Schneider) finds himself in desperate need of cash to quickly repair the damage he's done to a client's luxurious Malibu apartment! Then the fun really takes off when Deuce decides the only way out of this jam is to switch to the world's oldest profession--and offer his services to ladies everywhere as a lover for hire! A wild and raunchy comedy that always aims to please--you won't be able to resist this sidesplitting laugh riot!"
"The utterly un-PC visual gags and verbal abuse will have some laughing uncontrollably..." Dwayne E. Leslie, Box Office Magazine
"The funniest movie of the season!" Mark S. Allen, UPN-TV
Editor's Note
Rob Schneider is Deuce Bigalow, a bumbling fish tank cleaner. 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.

"...Consistently funny..." 06/01/2000 p.87Premiere
"...Chock-full of irresistible bits of dialogue..." -- 3 out of 5 stars 07/01/2000 p.100 San Francisco Examiner 6 of 10
...first-time director Mike Mitchell keeps Schneider's and Harris Goldberg's episodic script moving briskly - Deuce clocks in at a reasonable 84 minutes--and there are several hip/hilarious references to The Matrix and American Gigolo as well as some original fresh visual bits from Schneider, who seems eager to tackle a role tailored to his self-deprecating talents... - G. Allen Johnson
Chicago Sun-Times 5 of 10
The movie stars Rob Schneider, from "Saturday Night Live" and "Men Behaving Badly," as a tropical fish tank-cleaner. He's so luckless in love that he has to buy sea snails just in the hopes that the girl behind the counter at the fish store will dip her T-shirt into the tank. When he sees a handsome stud (Oded Fehr, from "The Mummy") with a pretty babe, he is filled with envy--especially when he finds out the babe is paying the stud, who is a gigolo. Many plot complications result. The fearsome gigolo hires the innocuous tank-cleaner to baby-sit his valuable fish while he goes to Switzerland. And then, when Deuce desperately needs to raise money, and the phone starts to ring, he finds himself backing into the gigolo racket, so to speak. He is well advised by a pimp, who is an expert on what the movie calls (about a million times) man-whores. - Roger Ebert
