Underrated Films: Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo






Yes, the movie that got a 4.4 on IMDB, 23% on Metacritic and a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes happens to be one of my favorite movies. I believe I've seen this movie about ten times. It's pretty much a slapstick comedy and a sequel that improved upon the original in my opinion.


It has a bunch of really great scenes in it.




Norm MacDonald has a phenomenal performance as MacManus.


There is this odd innuendo joke about Canadians, it's hilarious. 

The "your mama is in here" part is my favorite scene in the whole movie.





There are these constant references of sex moves throughout the whole movie. Many of which I never heard of before.


Other sex moves are the Belgian Steamer, Portuguese Breakfast, Turkish Snow Cone and the list goes on and on.

My reasons for it being better than the original is that it introduces a whole fictitious world of "man whoring" that creates many more funnier jokes. Also it's setting in Amsterdam opens many nationality jokes concerning Europeans and Americans. The man-whore "union" is for sure my favorite aspect of the movie. The comedy doesn't stop and the film is full of endless material for not just male prostitution, but nationality, stereotypes, cultures and many other worldly matters that you might not know about. A truly underrated comedy and definitely one of my favorites to watch over and over again.
