83 MINUTES | BOSTON COMMON + FENWAY + FRESH POND + CHESTNUT HILL + SUBURBS Sassier than its predecessor and significantly more sophomoric, Deuce 2 amounts to an 80-minute dick joke, where Lil Kim is an Asian "man whore" with a microscopic penis and the Golden Boner is an Oscar-like statue given to Europe’s most accomplished gigolo. Our eponymous nincompoop (SNL alum Rob Schneider), reluctant stud and inadvertent do-gooder, lands in Amsterdam and is quickly under the gun to clear the name of his former pimp, T.J. (Eddie Griffin), who’s accused of being the "man-whore serial killer." Silly and preposterous, yes, but the rapid fire-pacing by director Mike Bigelow (that looks like an Alan Smithee alias for Schneider, but he’s reported to have graduated from UCLA Film School and done award-winning commercials) and the spot-on gags, including a Russian chanteuse with a penis for a nose, plays on racial stereotypes, and an obnoxious French man who rants about American arrogance (Shock and Awe) and doing it doggie, will tickle your inner 14-year-old boy.
