    While sloppier than the sloppiest of seconds, is laudable in one important regard: Its obsession with the male body. Read full review

    The Hollywood Reporter | Michael Rechtshaffen

    Every bit as vulgar, sophomoric and thoroughly tasteless as 1999's Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. But what is most annoying is the sequel's capability of inducing laughter even as one hates oneself for so easily succumbing to the total silliness of it all. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Kevin Thomas

    Director Mike Bigelow maintains a mercifully swift pace, and while the film's humor is deliberately as crass as humanly possible, it is not truly mean-spirited, even though Amsterdam is depicted as a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah. Read full review

    Amazingly, amidst the smutty silliness, there are some laughs. Read full review

    It's not Deuce's satisfied clientele, but the audience, that gets the shaft. Read full review

    Rude, crude and, uh, cosmopolitan, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo waves the flag for R-rated politically incorrect studio comedy but doesn't top the laugh ratio of the first Deuce misadventure. Read full review

    The New York Times | Janet Maslin

    There is an essential meanness to the entire project, tapping the manipulative power of taunts. Such jokes don't jibe with the times, the culture. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Peter Hartlaub

    At times, "European Gigolo" feels more like an international incident than a movie. Read full review

    Boston Globe | Janice Page

    If all the first "Deuce" had going for it was a regular-guy approach to over-the-top humor, that's completely absent in this follow-up. Read full review

    Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks. Read full review

Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says not for kids Stupid, pointless movie. Save your time and money.
What Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that the movie is relentlessly bawdy and obnoxious. Language, allusions, and imagery are consistently sexual and aggressively offensive. While some viewers will find this content comedic, others will be bored; by the same token, some younger viewers will be baffled by the "creative" slang for sexual activity ("Portuguese breakfast") and others will be entertained by the physical humor (farts, falling through windows, toilet humor, genitalia jokes). Repeated references to sex acts, penises and vaginas, homosexuality, bestiality, tricking, and pimping. Characters smoke, drink, and do drugs. They also have sex.
  • Families can talk about how the movie sets up Deuce as a relatively moderate center, while much more outrageous characters swirl around him. But a better question is: Why would anyone waste their time on this movie in the first place?
The good stuff
  • message true0 Positive messages: Prostitutes, pimps, murderers -- all in the name of raucous comedy.
What to watch for
  • violence false3 Violence: Physical comedy, including jokes about murders by a serial killer.
  • sex false5 Sex: The movie is one long series of genitalia jokes, visual and verbal; plot points include prostitution, nudity, toilet humor.
  • language false5 Language: Frequent, obnoxious slang.
  • consumerism false3 Consumerism: Not an issue
  • drugsalcoholtobacco false3 Drinking, drugs and smoking: Drinking, smoking, drug use (hashish and marijuana are legal in Amsterdam).
