Synopsis
Deuce Bigalow is a less than attractive, down on his luck aquarium cleaner. One day he wrecks the house of a gigolo and needs quick money to repair it. The only way he can make it is to become a gigolo himself, taking on an unusual mix of female clients. He encounters a couple of problems, though. He falls in love with one of his unusual clients, and a sleazy police officer is hot on his trail.

Baltimore Sun
Surprisingly funny, a deep-down-good-hearted take on that oldest of comedy conventions, the ill-prepared rube caught up in a situation that somehow never gets the best of him. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
It's actually a sweet, often very funny story about a schlemiehl redeemed by love. - 50
L.A. Weekly
It's short, this movie, an attribute Sandler himself might take heed of, and if the teenagers in the back row are laughing harder and more often, you might at least find yourself smiling (guiltily) every few minutes. - 40

Rob Schneider's stab at an "Ace Ventura"-like gamble for stardom. - 38
USA Today
A pathetically dumb attempt to string a bunch of second-rate skits together like a garland of rotten cranberries. - 30
Chicago Reader
After loosening us up with some irresistible shtick that rigorously fulfills genre expectations, the movie subtly, systematically begins to break down familiar tropes in the depiction of attractiveness, attraction, and heterosexual courtship. - 25
Philadelphia Inquirer
The jokes are unabashedly pitched at 12-year-old boys, with flatulence, masturbation and excretions as the leading themes. - 25
Entertainment Weekly
Just when you're sure that Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo can't get any less funny, the movie douses the trailer's best gag, as that prosthetic leg turns out to be attached to Deuce's true love.
