Movie propaganda

Meet Deuce Bigalow (Rob Schneider), a naïve, good-hearted fish tank cleaner, who is very dedicated and happy with his work. His only dream is to take his fish and move out of his bad neighbourhood to the beach - to be close to his "friends" in the ocean. But after he loses his job at the Los Angeles Aquarium, his life changes dramatically when he is hired to clean the koi pond at a luxury Malibu apartment complex.

At the apartment, Deuce crosses paths with the debonair Antoine Laconte (Oded Fehr), world-class gigolo. Antoine has the life any man would want - fancy cars, beautiful women and, most importantly for Deuce, a state-of-the-art aquarium. When Antoine's Chinese Tailbar Lionfish comes down with a potentially fatal gill disorder and he has to go away on "business", Antoine asks if Deuce will stay at his apartment. All he tells Deuce is two things: don't answer his phone and don't drive his Porsche.

It doesn't seem like a lot to ask...

As Deuce gets comfortable at Antoine's place, he sets off a chain of events that virtually destroys the apartment, primarily Antoine's $6000 custom-made living colour aquarium. Needing money to pay for the damages, and after "accidentally" answering Antoine's business phone, Deuce launches his new career as a gigolo. He quickly enters a world beyond his wildest dreams.

Theatrical report

Rob has been stereotyped.

Every film in which he has been seen by me has been two-dimensional, Slap-stick USA Comedy (SUC) or two-dimensional comic book action.

Not a lot needs to be said that isn't par for a SUC flick. Loser gets big break. Loser does big things. Loser is still a loser. Loser screws up. Loser has wacky adventures fixing things up. Everyone lives happily ever after.
