Rob Schneider (“The Animal”, “Surf Ninjas”) is back and worse than ever in “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo”. Schneider showcases why he might just be the least talented person in the moviemaking industry. This film is packed with gags that are racist, mock the disabled, sexually depraved and just gross but the problem is that none of them are funny. The whole thing looks and feels like a rehearsal of a bad sketch that somehow got stretched out to feature-length.
Deuce Bigalow (Schneider) heads to Amsterdam where he soon learns that somebody is murdering gigolos. When his friend, T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin “Undercover Brother”), is accused of being the one responsible for the killings, Deuce sets out to prove his innocence.
Schneider looks like he’s just woken up and has no clue what his doing. The material here is so aggressively unfunny and Schneider does absolutely nothing to help matters. The Deuce character is just so unlikeable and unpleasant because he’s just a sweaty loser. I’d more than happily pay him if it means he keeps away from me. The other characters are just horrendous. We even have a woman with a man’s genitalia for a nose and you can imagine what comes out of it when she sneezes. The movie is apparently filled with various Dutch actors and actresses in supporting roles. They were apparently hoping that this would be their Hollywood break but I imagine many of them fired their agents.
“European Gigolo” makes the first “Deuce Bigalow” movie seem like “Citizen Kane” in comparison. While the first movie was really bad, there were brief moments of entertainment. This sequel is like a comedic wasteland. Perhaps rather than making more movies, Schneider should retire, move to another country, change his name and get a haircut. There might be something he can do to atone for his sins.
