running time : 88 minutes " deuce bigalow : male gigolo " is simply a hilarious good - natured comedy that may offend some , but underneath all it 's crude humor and sexual content is a sweet little love story that is surprisingly involving .
it is n't any kind of cinematic classic , but it 's a very very funny comedy that keeps us entertained until the end credits which themselves are funny too .
it has all it needs to be a breezy entertaining comedy :
the acting is up to pace and some of the performances quite funny , the screenplay is witty and smart , and the whole story is sweet and cute .
deuce bigalow ( rob schneider ) is your typically average guy : he cleans fish tanks for a living and gets an average of 10 bucks for it .
though one might call him a loser , deuce gets a job he would never thought he would get .
he gets to clean the tank for a male gigolo ( oded fehr ) and gets offered to watch over his place while he goes on a trip .
trying to be like him he hangs upside down from a pole and accidentally pushes off the fishtank and burns his cabinets .
the thing is now he has to try and find $ 6 , 000 dollars in three weeks to make sure everything looks right again .
so he decides to go " man - whoring " and to his luck gets the oddest people on earth : an over - weight woman who decidedly wants to eat everything in site , a woman with narcolepsy who sleeps all the time , a woman who has sudden screaming outbursts , and a woman he ca n't stop thinking about .
he charges $ 10 but he is willing to negotiate .
from now on he is considered deuce bigalow : male gigolo .
with non - stop laughs an a abundence of crude humor
" deuce bigalow : male gigolo " is sometimes like last years hit " there 's something about mary " that is offensive but very funny .
the screenplay by harris goldberg and rob schneider himself is a smart , clever and witty screenplay that seems to have been written with care to make is so hilariously funny .
the characters in the film are all actually likable especially " jabba lady " with her big body but soft heart .
there are actually times in the movie where i fell out of my chair laughing so hard that my stomach was killing me .
even though i thought " toy story 2 " and " being john malkovich " were the funniest of the year " deuce bigalow " follows right behind them .
the directing by mike mitchell is fantastic and shows he took time on the film .
rob schneider gives a surprisingly endearing performance and when his romance develops with one of his customers kate ( arija bareikis )
it is a sweet romance that we get involved in and actually like being involved in it .
" deuce bigalow " is a good - natured film worth all the merit it can get .
its not a classic or a masterpiece
, it 's just a comedy that we do n't feel bad about watching .
sure it may come off as offensive and may come off as dumb sometimes , but you can not deny that it is n't funny .
" deuce bigalow : male gigolo " is no disappointment .
its
a fast paced , entertaining sweet and hilarious comedy
that may be destined to become a cult classic .
fans of schneider will not be disappointed and fans of crude but nice comedies will not either .
for some reason the film garnered an r rating but with no " f words " or extensive use of sexual content or explicit nudity i was really wondering why the film was r .
a mild r to put it to the least , but
even if your under 17 or above at least 13 this film is good enough for you to see .
do n't try to be one of those people who make so much of a film that they do not like it , just sit back , laugh and enjoy the movie .
