💥 Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo Reviews

Personal Review

Okay, I admit, I laughed a few times, but mostly out of sheer disbelief at what I was watching. It’s like they threw every offensive joke they could think of at the wall to see what stuck, and honestly, not much did. The penis-nose woman? Just… why? Eddie Griffin is funny as always. Despite the over-the-top vulgarity, I cringed more than I laughed. Overall, it’s a forgettable movie.
