Rob Schneider: Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
built 265 days ago
After a rocky start on the big screen, Schneider appeared in two successful Adam Sandler vehicles, The Waterboy (1998) and Big Daddy (1999). He then landed the lead role in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, as a fish tank cleaner who assumes the identity of a high-living gigolo. Adored by audiences and panned by critics, it prompted a second film, The Animal, which met with equal success in 2001.

Schneider honed a persona that was hapless, but vulnerable and sweet-natured. He made use of that guise as the star of feature film comedies, starting in 1999 with the box-office and video success Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, a tale of a fish-tank cleaner who incurs a massive debt and is forced to become a "man-whore" with an inept pimp (Eddie Griffin). This was followed by The Animal, about a nebbish who is given animal powers by a mad scientist; The Hot Chick, wherein the brain of a petty thief (Schneider) is mystically switched into the body of a pretty, but mean-spirited high school cheerleader (Rachel McAdams); and the sequel Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, reuniting Schneider with Griffin. In 2006, Schneider co-starred in the baseball-themed family comedy The Benchwarmers, along with his fellow SNL alumnus Spade, and Jon Heder of the cult film Napoleon Dynamite.

When it comes to lowbrow, Rob Schneider is riding high. The Adam Sandler protege has convulsed/repulsed (delete according to taste) audiences in broad comedies such as "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" and "The Animal". Now he's just playing the broad, in body-swap comedy "The Hot Chick".

Thanks to the reunion, Schneider eventually scored a lead with the Sandler-produced Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999), which directed by Mike Mitchell and co-written by Schneider. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the slapstick comedy, which cast Schneider as fish tank cleaner who takes for granted the personality of a high-living gigolo, was a favorite among audiences.
