Why This 2005 Comedy Still Sparks Conversation: Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo Review
Just to get you caught up on the plot of the first Deuce Bigalow. Rob Schneider plays Deuce Bigalow, a mild-mannered aquarium cleaner, that lands in a sticky situation when he accidentally breaks a client’s expensive fish tank while housesitting for a professional male escort. To pay off the damages, Deuce is forced to step into the world of male escorting himself, helping women with their romantic and personal problems in increasingly awkward and absurd situations. Along the way, he discovers confidence, unexpected romance, and the chaos that comes from stepping far outside his comfort zone.
In Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Deuce is lured back into “the business” when his old friend T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin) becomes the prime suspect in a string of murders targeting Europe’s most accomplished gigolos. That’s right, man‑whore mystery antics set in Amsterdam, complete with a bizarre cast of characters and some of the most memorable comedic weirdness of the early 2000s.
Critics hated the movie on release, it sits under 10% on Rotten Tomatoes and was widely considered crude, politically incorrect, and not particularly funny. But on this Adam Sandler Please Stop episode, we explore why audiences might still find joy in its absurdity, how it fits into the era of Happy Madison comedies, and the so‑bad‑it’s‑interesting energy that makes the movie a cult rewatch. We also dig into what worked (surprisingly funny moments and character quirks) and what didn’t (cringe humor that hasn’t aged well).
Whether you’re a Rob Schneider die‑hard, a comedy fan with a soft spot for raunchy sequels, or just looking for a reason to laugh about how wild early 2000s comedies could be, this episode is one for the books.
