Despite his lack of enthusiasm for his career as a lover-for-hire, Deuce (once again played by Rob Schneider) is back to work as a gigolo when his former manager T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin) is accused of murdering a number of male escorts in Amsterdam. Needing to raise money for his friend's legal defense, Deuce is once again showing off the tricks of the trade in the European theater, while also dealing with the less-than-genial European Union of gigolos, a British school for male prostitutes, and some truly puzzling female clients. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews

James Crawford, Village Voice
It's an unimaginative, mean-spirited gross-out that forgot to bring the funny.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo is the cinematic equivalent of a bunch of 13-year-old boys in a locker room, repeating dirty phrases they've just learned.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
At times, European Gigolo feels more like an international incident than a movie.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Least imaginative of all -- the TV-commercial director they hired to film it. Yeah, his name is Bigelow, Mike Bigelow. That must have been a real knee-slapper of a meeting.
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
There is something to be said for the uncompromising idiocy of the film, but that something is unprintable.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
A happily idiotic sequel.
Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com
"Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" scrapes the bottom of the barrel and licks all around the sides.
Cynthia Fuchs, Common Sense Media
Stupid, pointless movie. Save your time and money.
Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film
This is gross-out without the gags (other than the stomach-churning variety)
Ethan Alter, Film Journal International
A sequel that can most kindly be described as unnecessary.
David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
It's 82 minutes of rampant misogyny and homophobia, peppered with occasional fits of toilet humor even the most obnoxious ten-year-old would find unfunny.
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Falls way short in the entertainment department, even for an underachieving film that aims for nothing higher than gutter humor.
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Schneider é um daqueles sucessos inexplicáveis de Hollywood: sem o menor talento, é considerado engraçado apenas porque está disposto a se sujeitar ao ridículo.
Matthew Turner, ViewLondon
An underlying sweetness and a smattering of good jokes ensure that this stays watchable, although none of the gags are as funny as the poster.

Sequel to the already awful Deuce Bigalow, this film steps up a notch makes the first film seem funny by comparison. This film was trash and I absolutely hated it. I felt that the film was terrible, and the fact that it got made is a miracle. The biggest problem with Rob Schneider comedies is that they're not funny, and the guy sucks at comedy. His comedic act wore out after Down Periscope, where he at least was funny. But afterwards he just played the same character over and over again; Schneider is one of those "comedians" that only have one joke in their back their entire career. In the end it's sad. This sequel is just as sad as Rob Schneider's "career". As far as sequels are concerned, this film really scraps the bottom of the barrel of ideas. The film doesn't do anything really interesting, and the film is laugh free comedy that is a pure waste of time, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo should never have been made, and the jokes fall flat, and there are definitely no memorable gags in this film. This is the type of comedy film the scraps the bottom of the barrel to try and create something humorous. Unfortunately everything this sequel to an already bad film. The jokes are so poorly developed and unimpressive, that this film simply isn't funny, and you realize how terrible Rob Schneider is as a "comedian". Yet another stupid film with no jokes. This is one comedy that has no laughs and the film doesn't even make you smirk. The only thing this film does is make you angry that you wasted your time on such a crap comedy.

This is not quite Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigalo, as most of the fun storyline happened in the first film, a couple of funny moments pop up, but not a great sequel.
KJ P

Very average, like the first one, I enjoyed the stupidity, however, there was way more in this one compared to the first. I was wishing that was not going to happen, but sadly, it did. I was disappointed by this floppy film, and I only laughed a few times.
Dean !

Not as good as the first. not quite so many laughs, the story line just wasn't as good. More of a gross out and slapstick comedy than the first. It's just silly a lot of the time, you'll like it depending on your sense of humour. Pity Kelly Brook wasn't in it a bit… More

Honestly they shouldnt have done the sequel. Why for christ sake? The first one was so great but why ruin it with sequel.
Martin S

Is this really funny? feels like it's been done before. But it was okay
Coxxie M

one huge turdle from beginning to end, but i forced a little laugh when the asian guy pulls a hot-wheels car uot of his pants. HAHAHAHA OH SWEET PENISES ARE REALLY SHAPED LIKE CARS ARENT THEY!!! HAHA
Chris W

There were a couple of scenes that were downright hilarious, but other than that, the movie tanks for me. Not that I think Schneider is super talented, but I think he's more capable of something better than this.
Chris G

A dog squatted on my front lawn and this movie came out of its ass. That about sums it up.
James A

I have to admit that this shitty non plot existing movie was actually pretty funny.
Stuart B

Not as good as the first but still got some good gags in there
Joseph E

Wow makes you really appreciate the first one even more!
Yinalí R

Super funny!!!
Sylvester K

There are only a small amount of funny moments, but there are quite a lot of hotties in it. Sequel is even worse than the first film, it even went from off colour humour to gross out humour, very disappointed.
kawai d

Yeah, watched it.
Matthew A

I liked it better than the first one. It had plenty of silly and even gross laughs. Rob Schneider is definitely a comedy genius, there is no doubt about that.
Lee K

Leo L

Barry L
