Kaboom (2010)
A joke, right?
I just saw the last 20-some minutes of this crapfest and that was plenty! I have no clue how this could possibly have a 6/10 rating. Be real, people. A 2/10 would really be pushing it. Just bad in every way: the acting, the story, the dialogue, the production, the film. It looked like some Made-For-Cable or Direct-to-Video joke. Like a Fred Olen Ray "film" or something. No wonder it was on Showtime 2 at 4am, and I've never heard of it anywhere else. After reading the other reviews here it sounds even worse than I can imagine. I'm so glad I missed all that other garbage in it, and know to avoid this film for this rest of my life.
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)
Better than expected
I didn't really have any desire to see this movie, because of all the negative reviews that I had read. When I was told that I could pick an older movie for free because I was renting a new release, I looked around and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo was sitting right there, so I grabbed it.(hey, Rob Schneider has always been cool with me) When I sat down to watch it I had low to no expectations, because I heard that the movie was pretty terrible, but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't that bad. They got me to laugh out loud quite a few times within the first couple of minutes and it continued throughout, I found that the story was actually interesting (for this type of movie), and I enjoyed the characters. The female lead, Eva, is gorgeous and hot, while sweet and innocent at the same time. I thought she was Anna Farris from the picture on the back of the DVD, and was slightly disappointed to find out it wasn't her, but I really enjoyed Hanna Verboom, my new celebrity crush.
I can do without Eddie Griffin and all the filth, which is on display rather frequently in this movie, but for some reason, I almost didn't mind it here. I didn't find that it was the "How many times can we use the F word in 90 minutes"-athon like 40-Year Old Virgin and other films are. Although they do over use the whole "gigolo" verbiage. I mean, are we suppose to still be laughing about it after 2 whole movies filled to the brim with words like "man-whore", "he-bitch", etc. being spoken every other minute?
I honestly cannot understand why this movie is panned to the level that it is, with some people calling it the "worst movie ever made". It is actually pretty good for a cheap, crass, comedy. Be assured that you can do a lot worse, if you do decide to check this film out. It was much better than I thought it'd be, and from what I can remember, it was at least on par with the first movie.
