Critic Reviews

  • John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune

    Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is just another in a long line of failed post-Saturday Night Live efforts.

  • Joan Anderman, Boston Globe

    Just saying the name of this movie makes you feel stupid.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    Rob Schneider, its star, and Adam Sandler, its producer, keep finding new and wondrous answers to that limbo stick question, 'How low can you go?'

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    Rob Schneider certainly has what it takes to play a doofy, soft-bodied poseur hustler, but this dim farce makes the mistake of setting him up with a series of tricks even lowlier and more pathetic than he is.

  • Susan Stark, Detroit News

    What in heaven's name were the geniuses at Disney thinking when they green-lighted this moronic, mean-spirited excuse for a comedy?

    Some Guys Don't Have All The Luck. Saw it again. Very funny movie, always makes me laugh no matter how many times I've seen it. Good story and nice ending. This is totally a movie just to laugh so don't take it seriously. Deuce Bigalow is a less than attractive, down… More

    A genius idea!!! I don't care if this is one of those silly films that no-one cares to like because of the comedy crowd it comes from, the idea of the dates and the solutions to their unusual circumstances, make for very entertaining, side-splitting laughter at times. Funny… More
