How do you turn low life sleaze and prostitution into a lighter than air family comedy? Well Pretty Woman with Richard Gere and Juliet Roberts was a pretty dull and unappetising attempt, but Deuce Bigalow is a pretty worthwhile effort and a lot more appealing than that one.

This is one of those movies that most of us dismiss straightaway as puerile, obnoxious and too smutty for people like us, and so don't rent it.

The plot goes that Deuce Bigalow, (played by Rob Schnieder out of the equally dour Waterboy) is a fish tank and pond cleaner, getting very little money and getting him no real credibility from anyone in the world. However, he just ends up cleaning a pond near to the pad of a rich and well-established male gigolo, (male prostitute essentially). The gigolo has a problem with his fish and so Deuce agrees to look over the fish and tell him what is the matter with it. Deuce finds that his house is absolutely luxurious, and after telling the gigolo that ...  Read the complete review
