Every time you buy a movie ticket or rent a video you are casting a vote telling Hollywood “That’s what I want.” Why does Hollywood continue to promote immoral programming? Are YOU part of the problem?  How can I deal with temptations? Answer Should I save sex for marriage? Answer How far is too far? What are the guidelines for dating relationships? Answer What are the consequences of sexual immorality? Answer For the women of Europe… The price of love just got a a lot cheaper. Producer’s synopsis: “Deuce Bigalow is seduced back to his unlikely pleasure-for-pay profession, when his former pimp T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin) is implicated in the murders of Europe’s greatest gigolos. Deuce must go back to work in order to clear his good friend’s name. Along the way, he must compete against the powerful European Union of prosti-dudes and court another bevy of abnormal female clients including the beautiful Eva, who suffers from acute obsessive-compulsive disorder.” See our review of the prequel to this movie: Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo None of our reviewers had any desire to view Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.

Year of Release—2005 / USA release: August 12, 2005 (wide).  Negative—This movie was a corny rip-off of the original, and far better first Deuce Bigalow movie, I found this movie to be offensive because of how it makes fun of a severe mental illness, OCD-Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, in reality OCD requires lifetime medication (Psychiatric Drugs) and therapy, lives have been totally ruined by OCD, and it causes many sufferers to commit suicide as well as making failed suicide attempts. Many OCD sufferers also suffer from severe secondary Suicidal Depression as secondary to the OCD. Overall, the film was disgusting and crude.
Extremely Offensive/2 —Jack Jensen, age 25 Neutral—…this movie was extremely crude, much more than the first, and had a lot of other sexual material in it that the first did not. I would not recommend this movie to anyone under the age of 16 due to the crude/sexual content in this movie.
Offensive/4 — Matt Wesly, age 23 Neutral—Not quite as good as the first one. But if you have ever seen the first one, or seen commercials for either one, you can definitely tell there will be crude humor in it. I mean, c’mon, it has the word GIGOLO in the title. But if you’re up for a good laugh, this movie will make you chuckle! The adventure Deuce goes on is quite funny to find out who the killer is. And of course, has a happy ending.
Offensive / 3 —Sixx, age 25 Movie Critics
…no redeeming qualities in this grotesque movie…
—Henry J. Rogers, Preview Family Movie and TV Review …about as gross as it gets… constant, overwhelming, disgusting, over-the-top teenage bathroom humor…
—Sue Pierman, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel …A film so not-funny they made it twice…
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Roger Moore …Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks…
—Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert …the slapstick is strictly of the skull-banging, ear-splitting variety…
—Chicago Tribune, Michael Phillips …The humor is supposed to be outrageous but instead falls flat… just plain yucky…

I don’t mind “killing time” but offending God by trying to receive my money’s worth was out of the question. Please, Christian’s, don’t see this movie (though somewhat crude—the first installment was palatable, this was like chewing dirt.)
My Ratings: Very Offensive/1½
