Deuce Bigalow: Electric Gigolo

From UpcomingMovies.com...

(3/4/03) Although Rob Schneider says it really isn't, one could easily think that the subtitle of 'Electric Gigolo' is an homage to one of the greatest and most-referenced sequel titles ever: Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. The reference is helped by the fact that 'Bigalow' and 'Boogaloo' are such similar words. The title also rhymes, which probably explains why it's not 'Deuce Bigalow 2', as the '2' would throw off the rhyme. Overall, it's much better than 'Male Gigolo', which was redundant (gigolos by definition *are* male).

They're not signed on yet, but there's a fairly strong possibility that at least three other cast members besides Rob Schneider will be returning: Eddie Griffin as Deuce's man-madam, T.J. Hicks; Oded Fehr, as Deuce's peer in he-whoredom, Antoine Laconte; and (fellow SNL cast member) Amy Poehler as Ruth, Deuce's client who struggles with a filthy mouth caused by Tourette's syndrome. Rob Schneider told MTV.com producer Adam Sandler will most likely *not* be taking a role as one of the gigolos, but it's possible he will still have some sort of cameo (maybe the "You can do it!" guy?). Someone who is unlikely to return is Los Angeles radio DJ Big Boy, who played the uber-obese Naomi in the first movie. Why? Big Boy is in the middle of a massive weight loss program, and has already lost 100 pounds, which is likely to disqualify him from returning as Naomi (source: MTV.com, again).

Based Upon: (3/4/03) This is the sequel to the 1999 surprise comedy hit, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, which made back its $18 million budget in its first 10 days of U.S. release, totalling out at $65.5 million in the U.S. The film has been a bigger hit on video, and also pulled the rare trick (for comedies) of being a hit in many overseas nations as well. The basic premise of a "British school for gigolos" is also an ackwowledged reference to the Harry Potter series, so it's possible there will be some elements that spoof Hogwart's, the various Houses, etc.

Premise: This movie continues the wondrous adventures of Deuce Bigalow (Schneider), whose gift to the world is the amazing ability to please women (AKA "Janes") in his role as a he-whore, a gigolo. Deuce is still relatively green to the profession, however, and so he is sent off to a school for gigolos in England where he can be trained to develop his full potential as a man whore. Once there, however, he discovers that 1) there is a secret society of he-whores that he didn't know about, 2) his rank in that society is very low and 3) someone is killing off many of the higher class gigolo cadets...
Sheesh, is originality running so low that THIS gets a sequel?

I wish Rob Schneider would try his hand at some intelligent comedy. Deuce Bigalow was funny, but he seems to do NOTHING but inane physical comedies. His cameos in Adam Sandler's films are always a hoot and his SNL work was more interesting than this stuff, in my opinion.

i think the first one is hilarious, but don't really think this needs a sequel at all. What else can you do with this character?

Yeah, the first one was one of my favorite comedies ever... although i hope a sequel doesn't ruin the character =\

Oh, and any of the women returning except for Deuce's girlfriend would be kind of dumb =(

Hope they don't do it, the original was a classic and I'd hate to see it ruined. But they probably will make this movie, I just hope it does well.

His last few movies were quite disapointing

The first one is hilarious...but a sequel is definitely not needed here.

I can't fathom that people found this movie funny, I thought it was one of the worst comedies ever! However I am happy someone liked it, because ebay gave me a return policy for a buck more

The first one was okay.. a good rental or watch on Comeday Central.. but by God, I'll go watch the sequel for the title alone.

Man, "The Electric Gigolo" is the name of one of Troy McClure's movies on the Simpsons. The title could be funny, if someone hadn't used the joke first.

"I want to see the Deuce Bigalow I remember from such films as "The Make-Out King of Montana" and "The Electric Gigolo."

I know I am in the minority here, but I always thought this was the worst comedy ever. Glad to see at least one other person agrees with me!
