USA TodaySusan Wloszczyna
A pathetically dumb attempt to string a bunch of second-rate skits together like a garland of rotten cranberries.

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
I laughed, yes, I did, several times during Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. That's proof, if any is required, that I still possess streaks of immaturity and vulgarity. Read full review

TNT RoughCutMike Mitchell
The kind of surprising giggles that make you wonder why you're laughing--- that's worth a few bucks.

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
After loosening us up with some irresistible shtick that rigorously fulfills genre expectations, the movie subtly, systematically begins to break down familiar tropes in the depiction of attractiveness, attraction, and heterosexual courtship. Read full review

The jokes are unabashedly pitched at 12-year-old boys, with flatulence, masturbation and excretions as the leading themes.

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
Just when you're sure that Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo can't get any less funny, the movie douses the trailer's best gag, as that prosthetic leg turns out to be attached to Deuce's true love. Read full review

Chicago TribuneJohn Petrakis
Custom-designed for 13 year-olds, laden with broad sight gags, gross sound effects and a bowlful of potty jokes.

VarietyRobert Koehler
A sign that the Sandler comedy empire is expanding and reaching new depths of pure gross-out stupidity. Read full review

Mitchell's film would be another example of why former SNL cast members should choose their scripts wisely, except that Schneider wrote this one. Read full review
