- 60Dallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonDallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonDefinitely merits its R rating with a fearless approach that will earn genuine laughs as it turns a few stomachs. Yes, a Rob Schneider movie that's funny. Strange but true.
- 60L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasL.A. WeeklyScott FoundasAs before, there are moments, when Schneider is turned loose to do his anything-goes, creepy-funny shtick, that are crudely inspired.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyScott BrownEntertainment WeeklyScott BrownWhile sloppier than the sloppiest of seconds, is laudable in one important regard: Its obsession with the male body.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenEvery bit as vulgar, sophomoric and thoroughly tasteless as 1999's Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. But what is most annoying is the sequel's capability of inducing laughter even as one hates oneself for so easily succumbing to the total silliness of it all.
- 50Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasDirector Mike Bigelow maintains a mercifully swift pace, and while the film's humor is deliberately as crass as humanly possible, it is not truly mean-spirited, even though Amsterdam is depicted as a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah.
- 30VarietyRobert KoehlerVarietyRobert KoehlerRude, crude and, uh, cosmopolitan, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo waves the flag for R-rated politically incorrect studio comedy but doesn't top the laugh ratio of the first Deuce misadventure.
- 30Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanIt's not Deuce's satisfied clientele, but the audience, that gets the shaft.
- 25Chicago TribuneChicago TribuneThe director is first-timer Mike Bigelow. Nothing's paced or shaped for maximum payoff; the shooting and editing rhythms add only clutter and noise, and the slapstick is strictly of the skull-banging, ear-splitting variety.
- 0Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSpeaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.
- 0Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerSeattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerNot that there are any actual jokes to be had. The film simply jumps to the punch lines, a non-stop barrage of crude dialogue and vulgar sight gags that passes as humor among adolescent boys. Who exactly is the audience for this R-rated film? The terminally immature?
