Fading Gigolo - Reception

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
Unlike Male Gigolo, distributed by Walt Disney Pictures|Disney's Touchstone Pictures brand, European Gigolo was released by Sony Pictures Entertainment|Sony's Columbia Pictures brand.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo - Plot
Gigolos in Europe are being terrorized by a serial killer. In Malibu, California|Malibu, Deuce Bigalow's wife Kate has died from a shark attack, and Deuce is invited by his former pimp T.J. Hicks to Amsterdam where T.J. is currently pimping. Deuce goes, as he is suspected of complicity in some dolphin-related injuries in Malibu and to take his mind off of Kate (even though he brings her prosthetic leg along).

Unfortunately, he is caught by a tour boat and is subsequently labeled by the media as a gay gigolo killer

Afterwards, they get the list from Antoine, the professional gigolo who appeared in the first film (even though T.J., upon saving Antoine from choking, is once again labeled by the media as the gay gigolo killer).

Deuce and T.J

Deuce finds that a lead on the serial killer is a photo in the Man-Whore Society, so he and T.J. sneak into their headquarters. During the search for the photo, they are discovered and retreat. Deuce escapes, but T.J. takes a wrong turn and discovers another gigolo, Enzo, burned to death in his tanning bed. T.J. is arrested and Deuce is left alone to solve the mystery.

While visiting Eva, Deuce is snooping around and finds evidence implicating Eva is the man-whore killer. Deuce then rushes to the police department and tells Gaspar that he accuses Eva. Gaspar is reluctant to believe this, and even drops many hints that he himself is the man-whore killer, but Deuce remains clueless.

While Gaspar has told Eva that he is the man-whore killer, Deuce rides with Gaspar to the Man-Whore Awards Ceremony under the guise of protecting the man-whores there

At the ceremony, Deuce evacuates the building and gets into a swordfight with Gaspar, during which he mentions the other romantic ways of pleasing a woman such as talking with them or at least pretending to listen to them among others; his words move the ladies in the crowd and the male gigolos

Like the first film, an epilogue states of what became of the characters: T.J. stops gay man-whoring and becomes a rapper, Deuce and Eva got married with Eva being expectant, Gaspar becomes a man-whore in prison, Kate's prosthetic leg is turned into a bong by a lady without a leg, Norm Macdonald is mentioned again, and so on.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo - Reception
Roger Ebert gave this film a very rare zero star rating, calling it aggressively bad, as if it wants to cause suffering to the audience and on his show Ebert and Roeper completely beneath contempt

Ebert also chastized Rob Schneider for his overly-zealous defense of the series, referring to an incident in which Los Angeles Times critic Patrick Goldstein called Schneider a third-rate comic

Ebert and Schneider would ultimately settle their differences, and Schneider sent his well wishes to Ebert during his recovery from thyroid cancer. Ebert responded Rob Schneider might (in my opinion) have made a bad movie. He is not a bad man.

The movie was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Award|Razzie Awards including Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, Worst Remake or Sequel and Worst Screen Couple (Rob Schneider and his diapers) with Schneider winning Worst Actor.

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo' is a 1999 sex comedy film starring Rob Schneider, William Forsythe (actor)|William Forsythe, Eddie Griffin, Oded Fehr and Arija Bareikis. The film follows a hapless fishtank cleaner who goes into business as a male prostitute in an attempt to earn enough money to repair damage he caused while house-sitting. It was the first film released by Happy Madison Productions. The film spawned a sequel titled Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo - Plot
Deuce Bigalow (Rob Schneider), a diminutive fishtank cleaner (aquarist), is fired for cleaning the tank at a public aquarium in the nude

Fearing Antoine will kill him, Deuce is forced to find a way to pay for the damage. Low-rent pimp T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin) offers to help Deuce make enough money to buy a new fish tank, and convinces Deuce to take over the absent Antoine's role as a gigolo. Deuce decides to make the clients feel better about themselves, since he only desires to have sex with beautiful, sexy women.

Deuce meets unusual clients but he still manages to get along with them, despite there being no sex involved, by doing something that has never happened with them before. These clients include:

* Carol, a woman who is severely narcoleptic. Rather than having sex, Deuce just literally sleeps in bed with her.

* one woman, Ruth, who has Tourettes Syndrome with coprolalia, and therefore is afraid of socializing. Deuce decides to take her to a baseball game, where her sporadic outbursts of profanity are likely to fit in with the crowd's yelling. After a few outbursts, the crowd starts cheering with her.

* Fluisa, an obese woman weighing close to 750 pounds. Deuce averts the woman's advances, leaving her somewhat emotionally disarmed to the point of revealing her insecurities with her appearance. Deuce quickly comes up with an alternative form of play, and the scene changes to Deuce and Fluisa sitting on her sofa playing a food-themed trivia game. He also helps her walk again by encouraging her exercise and diet as another form of play

* Tina, another woman has a pituitary gland disorder and is extremely tall, so tall in fact that her face is always out of frame (her face is never revealed throughout the film). As Deuce walks down a sidewalk with the woman, various unseen bystanders yell insults at her, such as Freak! and, That's a huge bitch! the latter insult becoming one of the most memorable lines from the movie (later appearing in other films).

Deuce's list of clients gradually increases, with each client being satisfied by much more fulfilling measures (such as the aforementioned tall woman heard groaning with pleasure while Deuce is giving her a foot massage, exclaiming that no one had ever touched her feet before) due to Deuce's evasion of sex with them

Meanwhile, Deuce is pursued by Detective Chuck Fowler (William Forsythe (actor)|William Forsythe), who demands Antoine's Address book#Little black book|black book of clients and threatens to take Deuce to jail if he does not comply

Using the money he made, Deuce restores Antoine's fish tank, albeit with lower-quality glass

American Gigolo 'American Gigolo' is a 1980 American crime drama film starring Richard Gere, written and directed by Paul Schrader. Schrader considers it one of four similar films, which he calls double bookends: Taxi Driver, bookended by Light Sleeper, and American Gigolo bookended by The Walker.

American Gigolo - Plot summary
Julian Kaye (Richard Gere) is a male prostitution|male escort in Los Angeles whose job supports his expensive taste in cars, stereophonic equipment, cocaine and clothes. He is blatantly narcissism|narcissistic and superficial; however, he claims to take some pleasure in his work from being able to sexually satisfy women.

When on an assignment for his primary procuress, Anne (Nina Van Pallandt), he meets Michelle Stratton (Lauren Hutton), the unhappy wife of a local politician, who becomes interested in him. Julian's other pimp, Leon (Bill Duke), sends him to the house of a financier, Mr. Rheiman, who asks Julian to physically abuse and have sex with his wife while he watches them.

As Julian begins to get to know Michelle, he learns that the financier's wife, Mrs. Rheiman, was murdered. Los Angeles Police Department Detective Sunday (Hector Elizondo) investigates Julian as a primary suspect. Though he was with a client, Lisa Williams (K Callan), on the night of the murder, the client refuses to give Julian an alibi in order to protect her and her husband's reputations.

As Julian's relationship with Michelle deepens, suspicion of the murder mounts against him. He soon realizes that he is being framed and grows increasingly desperate. His mounting anguish is visually represented by a degeneration in style; his clothes become dirty and rumpled, he goes unshaven, and he goes incognito in a cheap rental car, after discovering that his car has been tampered with.

Julian finally confronts Leon, who confesses that one of the other, younger gigolos who works for him had killed the wealthy man's wife, and Leon had conceived the plan to frame Julian. After an argument, Julian pushes Leon over the apartment balcony and he falls to his death.

With no one to help him, Julian ends up in jail, awaiting trial for the murder. However, when all seems lost, Michelle risks her reputation and that of her husband to provide Julian with the alibi that can save him from prison.

Gigolos 'Gigolos' is an American reality television series about the lives of five Male prostitution|male escorts in Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas. The series follows the men, all employees of the same escort agency, through their daily lives and interactions with each other. Cameras also follow the escorts on their appointments with women, including their sexual activity. The series debuted on the premium cable channel Showtime (TV network)|Showtime on April 7, 2011.

Gigolos Gigolos has been met with critical confusion regarding the legality of the activities it portrays and amazement that women would consent to being filmed purchasing sexual services. Critics were largely negative in the beginning, although a few had offered the series guarded praise.

Gigolos Showtime ordered a second season of eight episodes and it debuted October 20, Showtime renewed the series for a third season to begin filming June 2012, but announced it would be without Jimmy Clabots. Season three premiered August 30, Season four began filming in Las Vegas January 16, 2013 and premiered April 18th, Season 5 premiered on January 23, 2014.

Speaking at the January 2011 Television Critics Association press tour, Showtime entertainment president David Nevins (television producer)|David Nevins told critics that the sexually explicit Gigolos was part of an overall vision for the network. We are a pay cable service and I think it's about doing things with some depth and sophistication and taking people places they couldn't go on other networks.

Gigolos - Legality The closing credits include disclaimers: everyone shown having sex on-camera is of legal age; and No one depicted in this program was remunerated in exchange for engaging in sexual activity.Gigolos 1.1

Gigolos - Legality Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department|Las Vegas Police spokesperson Marcus Martin disputed the legality of the sexual activity in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. They can play the line as loose as they want to, semantically, but they're still violating the law. Since the recorded conduct did not occur in front of an officer it does not constitute an arrestable offense, although there could be repercussions in the future, according to Martin.

Gigolos - Legitimacy Vin Armani stated that the men really do work as gigolos but believes that none of them actually live in Las Vegas.

Gigolos - Legitimacy James stated that while the men really are gigolos, they do not escort full-time

Just a Gigolo (song) 'Just a Gigolo' is a popular song, adapted by Irving Caesar in 1929 from the Austrian song Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo, composed in 1928 in Vienna by Leonello Casucci to lyrics written in 1924 by Julius Brammer.

Just a Gigolo (song) - History
The song was first published by Wiener Boheme Verlag in 1929 and performed by several orchestras in Germany that year, including Dajos Béla's orchestra with the singer Kurt Mühlhardt. In Italy Daniel Serra sang a version, followed by Sirio Di Piramo and his orchestra in 1930, while other countries provided their own versions.

The original version is a poetic vision of the social collapse experienced in Austria after World War I, represented by the figure of a former hussar who remembers himself parading in his uniform, while now he has to get by as a lonely hired dancer. The music features a simple melodic sequence, but nonetheless has a clever harmonic construction that highlights the mixed emotions in the lyrics, adding a nostalgic, bittersweet effect.

The success of the song prompted publishers Chappell Co. to buy the rights and order an English language|English version from Irving Caesar, a very popular lyricist of the time. Caesar eliminated the specific Austrian references and, in the often-omitted verse (but included in the 1931 recording by Bing Crosby), set the action in a Paris cafe, where a local character tells his sad story. Thus, the lyrics retained their sentimental side but lost their historic value.

Just a Gigolo appeared in a 1931 film, a 1932 Betty Boop cartoon and a 1993 TV-series, all titled after the song. The song was recorded by many musicians of the time, including Louis Armstrong and (in German) Richard Tauber.

The film Just a Gigolo (1978 film)|Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo, directed by David Hemmings in 1979, was titled after the first verse of the original lyrics, but the Just a Gigolo title was used for United States of America|US distribution. In this film, the song was performed by Marlene Dietrich, in her last film appearance.

Just a Gigolo (song) - Origin
Just a Gigolo is best known in a form recorded by Louis Prima in 1956, where it was paired in a medley with another old standard, I Ain't Got Nobody (words by Roger A. Graham and music by Spencer Williams, 1915). Although these two songs have nothing else in common, the popularity of Prima's combination, and of the Village People's 1978 and David Lee Roth's 1985 cover versions of the medley, has led to the mistaken perception by some that the songs are two parts of a single original composition.

Just a Gigolo (song) - Origin
The first album, titled The Wildest! and released in November 1956, opened with Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody, which then became Prima's signature number and helped relaunch his career.

Just a Gigolo (song) - Recording
The recording session took place in April 1956 at Capitol Tower Studios, Los Angeles, and was produced by Voyle Gilmore
