Wow, it really was that stupid

Every once in a while, I love to have a "non-thinking" movie, a comedy that doesn't require for me to look deeper into the plot or anything. I figured since I saw the first Deuce Bigalow movie, I would give the sequel a shot. I had heard bad things about it, but I figured it might not be that bad. I watched it this afternoon, actually I was laughing throughout the beginning. I'm very serious, I was starting to think that people were just hating the film because they didn't like Rob or something, but then the film took a big turn. It turned into really immature and lame 7th grade jokes once again like the first one. Fart jokes? I mean, seriously? How much have we grown up? Not to mention that the ending just totally fell flat and Rob did a terrible job of acting. The story was also a bit over used and just a rip off of the first Deuce Bigalow film.

Deuce goes to Amsterdam to find his old friend, T.J. His wife is dead, and for some reason he is still carrying her prosthetic leg with him introducing it. T.J. asks Deuce to join the gigolo's again and to go undercover now that they are being murdered. T.J. is mistaken for the killer and that he's also gay, so Deuce is going undercover to prove T.J.'s innocence. But he ends up finding another lady with a bit of a problem with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but that doesn't stop him from falling in love with her. But he has to make sure that he finds this killer before he ends up being murdered too.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo was just a silly attempt at trying to make some money, because while there were still a couple laughs here and there, this still was a lame film. A lot of the jokes were over used and incredibly immature. I wouldn't recommend this movie for someone who is over 12 years old, just because that's the kind of humor that's in it. Another funny thing is that I know that this was just a movie, but I'm American, and I was just offended for the way they handled the Europeans and how they are. But I guess I've just grown past this humor, I'm sorry, I just couldn't find this film entertaining.
