Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo | 1999 | R | - 6.4.5

Former Saturday Night Live cast member Rob Schneider plays a fish tank cleaner who inadvertently turns to male prostitution to earn a few thousand dollars to pay for a broken fish tank. With Arija Bareikis, Allen Covert, Oded Fehr, Eddie Griffin, Norm Macdonald and Amy Poehler. [1:28]

SEX/NUDITY 6 - Sexual innuendo (including references to S&M, homosexuality, multiple-partner sex, fellatio and anal sex) and graphic sexual talk is pervasive. We hear people having sex off-screen (lots of moaning) and see a couple having sex on TV (we hear whipping, yelling and other S&M-type noises). A scantily clad woman moves up and down on a man as they kiss passionately, a woman takes off a man's clothes and it's implied she grabs his penis (we only see his face reacting to this) and a woman throws a man on a bed and rips his clothes off (he's still in his underwear on camera). A man and woman have intercourse but we only see them post-coitus (her head is resting on his bare chest). We see a close-up of a used condom. Some kissing. Several scenes in which a man unzips his pants, pulls out his penis (which we never see) and tells another man to look at it; also, a man grabs another's clothed buttocks. A woman moans in ecstasy while a man rubs her feet. In three scenes we see a naked man's backside; also, we see a man with a towel wrapped around his waist and a few scantily clad women. A few scenes in which we see a woman's nipples through her wet T-shirt after she dips her breasts into a fish tank. A few scenes of men in their underwear; sometimes the men are dancing suggestively while stripping for a woman. A man reaches into his underwear and pulls out dollar bills.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Mostly played for laughs. A scene in which it's implied a male and female police officer sodomize a man (it's implied the woman uses a club); we see him walking painfully throughout the rest of the movie. A man shoots a woman in the chest with a crossbow, but her chest is protected and she's not injured. A man is beaten by the police; also, a woman punches a man in the gut and kicks him in the face and groin. A man pulls off a woman's fake leg. Threatening with a crossbow and some verbal threats. A couple scenes with visual "toilet humor," including one in which a man is plunging a toilet and catches a piece of excrement in a fish bowl; also, a bathroom scene in which we hear flatulence.

LANGUAGE 5 - Lots of anatomical references and slang terms, scatological references, mild obscenities and insults.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Pimping, male and female prostitution, sex, love.

MESSAGE - Even losers can find love if they will themselves to it.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
