about
You're reading a really old version of matt-thornton's website. For example, if you're looking at the movie reviews... you'll notice that none of them are of recent films. Indeed, I leave them here for posterity's sake, but I doubt very much that they'll get updated anytime soon. So have a giggle.
You might, if you're lucky, find something recent from Matt at his blog matt's debates. Kernow bys vyken.
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
the one line review:
woman with penis on face
the overview
Well if that one line review doesn't get picked up in the search engines, what will? If you liked the first Deuce Bigalow, you'll like this. If you didn't, then you won't.
the plot:
After accidentally maiming a bunch of blind people, Deuce (Schneider) finds himself in Amsterdam with TJ on the hunt for the man-whore murderer. It has been assumed said murderer is TJ, so Deuce sets out to prove its not... by manwhoring. And of course along the way doesn't actually sleep with anyone except for the beautiful woman who happens to fall in love with him (his wife Kate got eaten by a shark on their honeymoon).
Will Deuce prove TJs innocence and save the fate of the manwhoring community in time?
I wonder.
the verdict:
As with most dodgy comedy sequels, they took all the same jokes from DB1 and just rehashed them here. The point is that this is not sophisticated in any way, so there's no denying the fact that if you enjoyed the first film, you'll probably get a kick out of this one.
What is slightly irritating about it is that it is more than a little tired, and also that Deuce ends up with an even more gorgeous woman than Kate. Though you'll be pleased to know that Antoine "Hey fish guy" is in it again, albeit briefly.
Lots of penis jokes, a lot of poor slapstick humour and an ultimately happy ending make this film just about passable.
