Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigolo ** - American Gigolo meets Dumb and Dumber.
It's faulty logic that led me to see this film. The sequel was coming out and I thought, hey, the 1st must have been better than I imagined, so let's have a look. We were in the mood for a comedy, and this did garner a couple belly laughs. Deuce, a full time aquarium technician, suddenly needs to earn a lot of money in a hurry. He has recently learned that men can make money "pleasuring" women, and with the encouragement of a pimp, launches his own career. As an unsophisticated rookie, he has to start at the bottom, dating women who are physically or socially handicapped. It is a job he accepts with genuine warmth, and learns he can "pleasure" his customers with acceptance and respect. There are a couple of good laughs in the 90minutes but also moments in the story that are uncomfortably stupid. At the end I felt like I do at the end of most of the Saturday Night Live broadcasts, like there should have been more.
