the first film produced by adam sandler's happy madison production company ( clever title eh ? ) is essentially a one joke movie , much like the movies sandler stars in himself .
|
|
however the difference here is that this one joke just isn't very funny .
|
|
rob schneider stars as the title character , a scruffy fish tank cleaner who ends up becoming a " man-whore " to raise enough money to replace a wealthy client's custom made fish tank , which deuce destroyed while staying in his home .
|
|
deuce goes on numerous " dates " , and each woman he goes out with has a " humorous " quirk about herself .
|
|
one has narcolepsy , one has tourette's syndrome , one is a man . . .
|
|
etc . etc .
|
|
my problem is that we see all of these women in the film's trailer , so why do i need to watch the movie ?
|
|
seen the trailer . . .
|
|
seen the film .
|
|
only a quick cameo from norm macdonald ( and a follow up joke during the closing credits ) generates any chuckles .
|
|
deuce bigalow : male gigolo is available on dvd from touchstone home video ( a division of di$ney ) .
|
|
the disc includes the film in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1 . 85 : 1 , and features the original theatrical trailer ( as well as trailers for mystery alaska , happy texas , and outside providence ) , an extremely brief production featurette ( which contains footage not used in the film ) , and storyboard-to-scene comparisons .
|
|
yep , you read that right . . .
|
|
there are storyboard comparisons on this dvd .
|
|
two scenes are storyboarded . . .
|
|
neither of which are particularly exciting .
|
|
there are fight scenes in this movie , so why aren't we seeing storyboards of those segments ( especially the parody moments from the matrix ) ?
|
|
i wonder what's funnier : the fact that any moment in this film required storyboards or that di$ney thought fans of this film would want to see them ?
|
|
deleted scenes ?
|
|
sure .
|
|
audio commentary ?
|
|
you betcha .
|
|
but storyboards ?
|
|
come on .
