Yet
another Saturday Night Live cast member has tried to make that leap to the big
screen. This time it's Rob Schneider.
Schneider
plays a lonely aquarium cleaner who finds his life in turmoil when he poses as
a gigolo to get out of debt.
Deuce
Bigalow is mostly an excuse to make low brow stabs at such serious conditions
as terrets syndrome and narcolepsy.
It
should also be noted, however, that this film is definitely better than some of
the other S.N.L. supported films of recent memory (Lost and Found, Night at the
Roxbury and Superstar, etc.).
I
must admit, I see a certain amount of potential in Schneider. There are moments
in this ridiculous film, where he reminds me of Micheal Keaton. I also got a kick
out of William Forsythe (The Rock) as a manic police officer and Eddie Griffin
as a smart talking pimp. At moments they take Deuce to a higher level, but not
nearly high enough.
