Instead, what we get is literally toilet humor of the worst kind and repeated gags that are gross and intellectually void of brain matter. If only the screenwriters had trusted their story more and sprinkled the jokes sparingly, the film would take on a more structured and involving comedic romance. Billy Wilder, Preston Sturges, and Ernest Lubitsch are rolling in their graves. Indeed, the transitions are at times jarring and sloppy. What's worse is that the skills of most of the people involved appear amateurish at best and may have been reedited and cut severely during post-production.
The director (who is heck is Mike Bigelow, a pseudonym?) and a committee of writers don't give the story or the lead actors a chance to succeed. That sums up a simple, silly plot that is flawed in script and execution.
The story leads to the Man Whore Awards as Deuce races to save the day while the murderer has planned a final deadly act. She is also the niece of the lead detective on the case who has a grudge against these 'man whores'. At the same time the police are investigating the crimes, Deuce runs into and falls in love with a beautiful woman, Eva (Hanna Verboom), who is afflicted with a multitude of behavioral ticks due to obsessive compulsive disorder. This sets up an amusing series of dates with women who have unusual physical attributes. Deuce explores the European world of these men and even interviews the last women to see the murder victims alive. Hicks (Eddie Griffin), who gets in hot water as a mistaken prime suspect in a series of murders of gigolos or 'man whores' as they call themselves. Deuce Bigalow takes up where he left off as a jinxed widow who travels to Europe to join his pimp friend, T. In the tradition of terrible comedies such as John Goldfarb Please Come Home and Which Way to the Front, this R-rated entree is trouble from start to finish. His only real success was a modest one, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, and now he returns to that character several years later. Rob Schneider has been an amusing comic from his days as cast regular on TV's Saturday Night Live.
