From Roger's review of "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" (0 stars):
"The movie created a spot of controversy in February 2005.
According to a story by Larry Carroll of MTV News, Rob Schneider
took offense when Patrick Goldstein of the "Los Angeles Times"
listed this year's Best Picture nominees and wrote that they were
'ignored, unloved, and turned down flat by most of the same studios
that . . . bankroll hundreds of sequels, including a follow-up to
"Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo," a film that was sadly overlooked at
Oscar time because apparently nobody had the foresight to invent a
category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate
Comic.'
"Schneider retaliated by attacking Goldstein in full-page ads in
"Daily Variety" and the "Hollywood Reporter." In an open letter to
Goldstein, Schneider wrote: 'Well, Mr. Goldstein, I decided to do
some research to find out what awards you have won. I went online
and found that you have won nothing. Absolutely nothing. No
journalistic awards of any kind. . . . Maybe you didn't win a
Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best
Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never Been Acknowledged
by His Peers. . . .'
"Schneider was nominated for a 2000 Razzie Award for Worst
Supporting Actor, but lost to Jar-Jar Binks. But Schneider is
correct, and Patrick Goldstein has not yet won a Pulitzer Prize.
Therefore, Goldstein is not qualified to complain that Columbia
financed "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" while passing on the
opportunity to participate in "Million Dollar Baby, Ray, The
Aviator, Sideways," and "Finding Neverland." As chance would have
it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking
in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider,
your movie sucks."
