Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo

Hm... A good movie if – while watching it you wrap presents under the tree, have breakfast, do the dishes, annoy your dad, find some stale coffee, and check out your sister watching Pokémon – and the plot doesn't get away from you, you'll still be able to navigate it and retell it to your friends (if there was that much interest). So it's a good backdrop, but if I were to just focus on the movie, I'd probably get stung by boredom every now and then... (22.12.2008)

So this is a class above the first one and I can say one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen!!!! : D The first episode was more serious (if you can even call it that) and was purely a relatively smart comedy (if you can even call it that😂), but the second is an absolutely lightweight parody that doesn't take itself seriously at all and shoots one gag after another, tons of jokes and situations that one wouldn't even think of, but unfortunately for some, the story gets sidelined, and thus the opponents of stupid parodies will turn the film off after five minutes. This is one of my new top picks that I'll be playing many more times, an incredible blast that builds to an ad absurdum towards the end and had me rolling with laughter for perhaps the entire final half hour. This is the kind of thing that should be shown at Christmas, at KVIFF and in schools! (15.06.2021)

I never really enjoyed the second episode. The storyline revolving around the killer of gigolos isn't entirely bad, but it just didn't engage me as much as the first installment. Above all, I missed some better jokes here because this time I really didn't feel like there was anything that could make me laugh. Deuce and T.J. are still great characters, though. (21.03.2015)
