Also opening: Deuce is on the loose again

Please raise your hand if you honestly needed a sequel to Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. I didn't think so. But here it is, for better (which would be easy) or worse (which is more likely).

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (R) finds Rob Schneider still trying to be funny as the world's least likely male escort. His pimp T.J. (Eddie Griffin) has moved operations to Amsterdam where, according to the stories I've heard, more interesting partners than Deuce could be found. There's also a serial killer stalking "man-whores," as Deuce calls himself. If we're lucky.

But enough daydreaming. Before he can help the investigation, Deuce attends a man-whore academy to learn the trades of his tricks, and takes on new, bizarre clients, such as a woman who lost her nose in an accident and had it replaced with her dead brother's penis. Now you can understand why I'm pulling for the killer.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo wasn't screened in time for Weekend review. See Friday's Page 2B for what may be an autopsy.
