 Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo is one of those films where you know the critics' reaction before reading it. They loathed the original and they show even less regard for the sequel. Associated Press critic Christy Lemire acknowledges as much in her review. "What we say won't matter now, as it didn't matter then," she writes. For what it's worth, however, here's a sampling of the reviews: Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: "aggressively bad;" Ned Martel in the New York Times: "There is an essential meanness to the entire project;" Lou Lumenick in the New York Post: "a vile and laughless follow-up;" Janice Page in the Boston Globe: "Is it too late to redefine 'Eurotrash'?;" Claudia Puig in USA Today: a "sophomoric crassfest." |
