Critics Consensus

According to critics, Deuce Bigalow is just too dumb and filled with old, tired gags.

Raunchy prostitution comedy is lazy and crude.

What in heaven's name were the geniuses at Disney thinking when they green-lighted this moronic, mean-spirited excuse for a comedy?

Deuce Bigelow is one of those strange movies that is better remembered than actually watched.

There are parts of it that are genuinely cute, and given the level of raunch, it's almost innocent.

This is true comedy, not afraid to offend and just laugh. Wish they make more like this type nowadays, but people gets easily offended.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Its humor is sometimes absurd. But the main message is interesting if you pay attention enough.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Silly but fun "fish out of water" type scenario. Lots of politically incorrect late-90's humor (and a matching soundtrack) throughout and a somewhat heartwarming thread make up for an otherwise cheesy flick.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
