DEUCE Bigalow (Rod Scheider), male prostitute, returns in this sequel which does not even live up to the meagre comic offering that its predecessor Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo turned out to be.

But I suppose at least in this film Deuce takes his merry, hip-swinging self to Europe so the views are far nicer.

Deuce finds out his former pimp, played by Eddie Griffin, has got himself into a heap of trouble and he decides it is his duty to get him out of hot water.

While doing this, Deuce prostitutes himself to some of what must be some of Europe's most unattractive female specimens.

If you find a grown man dressed as a baby being beaten on his nappy clad rear by some scary Amazonian-type peroxide creature amusing, then this film may just appeal to you.

The phallic jokes soon wear extremely thin as does belief that any woman would actually pay to sleep with a man who has tower skull and hair which is surely only suitable for scouring stubborn stains from cooking pots.
