OK, let's start by stating the obvious: this movie is incredibly stupid; it contains humour which for the most part could be described as sophomoric at best; it pokes fun at disabilities ranging from eating disorders to Tourette's Syndrome (with a little narcolepsy thrown in just for the fun of it.) That being said, let's state one other obvious thing: it works, as long as you don't try to take it too seriously. There's no message here and no strongly developed plot. This movie is just meant to be fun - and it turns out that it is.
Rob Schneider is perfectly cast as the geeky fish tank cleaner Deuce Bigalow, who ends up - by accident! - working as a "man-whore" to earn money to fix the damages he's done to the real gigolo's expensive apartment. The supporting cast is wonderful. Who wouldn't laugh at Eddie Griffin as T.J. - Deuce's "man-pimp." Among the series of women Deuce is sent to satisfy, Amy Poehler caused great laughter as Ruth, suffering from Tourette's Syndrome, and the movie was absolutely stolen by Fluisa (played by Big Boy) the VERY heavy woman who is Deuce's first customer.
As I say, don't take this at all seriously. Just enjoy it, and let the laughs come. I rated it as a 7/10.
