Avis à la une
With lines like "Kaizer, get back to your work" or "why is it called Space cake?" this movie is totally hilarious in all its stupidity.
One of the worst movies of all time but also one of the funniest!
See it and laugh your balls off! :D
I think this movie is a cute spoof on the Netherlands. Of course we don't have naked weatherwomen (unfortunately), but indeed we have coffee-shops which are very much unlike Starbucks, and although the legal status of prostitution is vague, it's not prohibited in certain areas in the country and indeed the prostitutes do pay taxes and have a health care plan. So in a sense it's true, albeit a bit over the top - for amusement value.
The movie shows some nice areas of the country, like the windmills, old cobblestone streets and canals. And it has a huge slew of famous and not-so-famous Dutch celebrities, which actually makes this movie fun to watch for a Dutchman! In fact, I think Dutch moviegoers would rate this movie higher than an American would do, as the latter might not get the tongue in cheek humor depicted within. Americans may even be offended at how the war in Iraq is mentioned by a Frenchman, and the aggression against people waving an American flag, sending out a political stab by Mr. Schneider.
There is much eye for detail, like the shirts Deuce is wearing, or the fact that he calls Eva 'ay-va' as the Dutch would do, the fun with the street name ('Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal', notorious in Holland for its red-light district) and the names and phone-numbers in the little black book (DVD freeze frame).
So, being Dutch myself, I found this flick pretty amusing!
PS. the cover of the Dutch version DVD is much more appropriate, showing an Amsterdam pavement divider post ('Amsterdammertje') instead of the Italian (!?) Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Bottom line?This is a worth-watching comedy that fans of the first movie will enjoy.
I can do without Eddie Griffin and all the filth, which is on display rather frequently in this movie, but for some reason, I almost didn't mind it here. I didn't find that it was the "How many times can we use the F word in 90 minutes"-athon like 40-Year Old Virgin and other films are. Although they do over use the whole "gigolo" verbiage. I mean, are we suppose to still be laughing about it after 2 whole movies filled to the brim with words like "man-whore", "he-bitch", etc. being spoken every other minute?
I honestly cannot understand why this movie is panned to the level that it is, with some people calling it the "worst movie ever made". It is actually pretty good for a cheap, crass, comedy. Be assured that you can do a lot worse, if you do decide to check this film out. It was much better than I thought it'd be, and from what I can remember, it was at least on par with the first movie.
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesHappy Madison Productions moved the film to Columbia Pictures to produce the sequel due to creative differences with Touchstone Pictures. The Walt Disney Company (Touchstone's parent company) wanted a PG-13 sequel while Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider wanted it to be R-rated like Gigolo à tout prix (1999).
- GaffesEva cannot touch doorknobs supposedly, but in the montage of Deuce going out on a date with her, she clearly opens the door and touches the doorknob.

Deuce Bigalow: You know the Dutch started the slave trade.
