63It's not to say that the adolescent humor isn't funny; some of it is hilarious. It's just that this movie lacks the overarching comic sensibility that made "Mary" and even Adam Sandler comedies like "Happy Gilmore" and "The Waterboy" so satisfying.
-
63If you buy the gross, it's surprisingly funny .
-
63Schneider's mild-mannered fish-lover is genuinely likable, and a good-natured foil to the crude jokes.
-
63Surprisingly 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.
-
It's choppy and cheap-looking, and it has dead spots like the Sahara, but it also has a surprising number of genuinely funny bits, most of them slapsticky and gleefully rude.
-
60A considerable cut above the crop of recent features by other 'SNL' alums.
-
50The lowdown on Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, Rob Schneider's first starring role, is that it is. Lowdown, that is.
-
50To paraphrase the movie's too-knowing tag line: It's not very funny. But when the lights go out -- it's still not very funny.
-
50It's actually a sweet, often very funny story about a schlemiehl redeemed by love.
-
50It'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.
-
40Rob Schneider's stab at an "Ace Ventura"-like gamble for stardom.
-
38I laughed, yes, I did, several times during Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. That's proof, if any is required, that I still possess streaks of immaturity and vulgarity.
-
38A pathetically dumb attempt to string a bunch of second-rate skits together like a garland of rotten cranberries.
-
35The kind of surprising giggles that make you wonder why you're laughing--- that's worth a few bucks.
-
30Only the innate sweetness of both its lead character and its base premise keeps you from wanting to slap Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo upside its mangy, empty head.
-
30After 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.
-
25Custom-designed for 13 year-olds, laden with broad sight gags, gross sound effects and a bowlful of potty jokes.
-
25He's (Sandler) trying to clone himself by supporting his buddies in making low-budget, high-grossing -- in all senses of the word -- formula films just like his own.
-
25The jokes are unabashedly pitched at 12-year-old boys, with flatulence, masturbation and excretions as the leading themes.
-
25Just 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.
-
20Mitchell's film would be another example of why former SNL cast members should choose their scripts wisely, except that Schneider wrote this one.
-
20Juvenile comedy targets a gallery of imperfect women.
-
20A sign that the Sandler comedy empire is expanding and reaching new depths of pure gross-out stupidity.
-
16It's as sullying and disheartening an experience as the movies can offer .
-
16An insufferably insipid comedy with a cruel subtext.
-
0A little Disney Christmas release that comes wrapped in used toilet paper.
