Cool Things About the DVD |
| Learn to be
director! |
There are two
"storyboard to scene" comparisons which are kinda
cool to see how a movie goes from concept to screen. |
| Buy a new TV! |
The widescreen
format is 1.85:1, and the DVD is enhanced for 16 x 9
televisions. |
| Buy a new
stereo! |
It's in 5.1
surround. If you don't have it, or the speakers, you
are missing the experience. |
| Anything else! |
It does have the
theatrical trailer, English subtitles for the hearing
impaired, and a production featurette. I would have
looked forward to maybe some commentary on researching the
role of a dude who cleans aquariums (my fish always seem to
die). Buy it/rent it for the video and sound quality. |

Deuce Bigalow:
Male Gigolo
A Movie/DVD Review |
|
 |
I really didn't like "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" when
it was in the theaters. Maybe I was just in a bad mood, but I
didn't find it funny, wondered why it was made, and just didn't like
it. Back then I gave it 1 star. But then I got the DVD
and decided that this movie really isn't that bad.
Rob Schneider plays Deuce Bigalow. He's a fish tank cleaner who
gets most of his enjoyment by making the girl in the fish store dip
her breasts in the snail tank so he can see her boobs. He gives his
fish bottled water and drinks rusty pipe water. And he ends up
taking care of a cool gigolo's fish while the gigolo is out of the
country. He accidentally trashes the place and needs to come up with
a ton of cash or face the wrath of Antoine, the cool gigolo, and
with the help of T.J., a man pimp, becomes a gigolo, or rather, a
man whore, himself. But Deuce doesn't score the hot chicks, nope,
T.J. sets Deuce up with the "freaks" where Deuce charms
the ladies with good verbal skills rather than being good in the
sack.
Alright, to be a little more fair the movie does go deeper than
that, sort of preaching the message that everyone is special in
their own way. And maybe because I was in a better mood, maybe
being a little bit older, or maybe being at home where I don't try
to engross myself in a movie most of the time, but this time I
enjoyed "Deuce Bigalow..". The scenes that gave me
chuckles in the theater gave me chuckles again, like the narcoleptic
girl who tied her hair to the light so she wouldn't drown in her
soup when she fell asleep, but also felt a little sorry for Deuce,
especially as his relationship with Kate fell apart.
It's an adult rental, but remember to bring out the child in you
when you watch it. If you do it's 3 stars out of 5. If you're
looking for an intelligent comedy, "Deuce Bigalow: Male
Gigolo" isn't it, but if your looking for stupid fun, go ahead
and rent it!
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
