They're all acting like children. Deuce Bigalow is exactly what it intends to be: a silly, fart joke type movie. It has several moments that are quite funny. Deuce Bigalow was never intended to be a film of great substance or an independant movie. Goldstein calls Schneider a third rate comic. That's uncalled for. The article was supposed to be about how indipendant films did well at Oscars. That's great, and it has nothing to do with Rob Schneider. Then Schneider shoots back with an equally childish letter trying to discredit Goldstein, only to make a bigger fool of himself. THEN Ebert, who has nothing to do with the disagreement, decides to put in his two cents. Goldstein should have stuck with a simple story, Schneider should have enjoyed the millions he has, and Ebert should consider sticking to critisizing movies, not actors.
Rob Schneider is actually an excelent actor and comedian. His career choices may leave something to be desired, but that doesn't take away from hsi true skill. American Crude actually looks to be decent.
