When Antoine, a successful gigolo with a sick fish, has to leave the country for a few weeks, he offers Deuce the opportunity to housesit for him. Predictably, Deuce manages to trash the place and must enlist the aid of pimp TJ (Eddie Griffin) to help him pay for the damages. TJ turns him, in a series of absurd preparations, into a prostitute. The subsequent encounters with self-conscious females provide the film with its biggest laughs, and eventual moral: enable a woman to feel confident about herself and she will learn to love you no matter what you look like.

The comic blithely stumbles through the rude slapstick as if he thinks the movie's real lead will show at any second and allow him to sink gratefully into second-banana status again.

A scattershot movie where you sit and wait for that next two minutes of funny stuff which often never comes.

Utterly disposable.

What you get is more than enough to justify the ticket price: outrageous jokes, pratfalls and gags in a nonstop gross-out comedy that is a hoot from start to finish.

I will say this, there are parts of the film that are funny, disturbingly funny but not enough to bail the film out of the watery grave its heading for.

Rob Schneider is charming as the title character, and he manages to keep his character earnest and likeable even while transforming into a full-fledged male prostitute.
