With no happy ending yet in sight to the labor standoff between Hollywood writers and studios, a group of screenwriters has posted a comedy short on YouTube that humorously explores some of the non-writing career options for members of the Writers Guild of America should they go out on strike.

In the film, Paul Guay, who co-wrote the 1997 Jim Carrey comedy "Liar Liar," working as a tailor, measures a man for a suit, while in another segment, Thomas Dean Donnelly, one of the writers on the 2005 action film "Sahara," is seen working the take-out window at a burger stand, telling a customer, "Cheeseburger, fries and a Diet Coke. Do you want to go more archetype than stereotype?"

And there's Douglas J. Eboch, the original writer of the 2002 Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy "Sweet Home Alabama," who is shown working at a bowling alley handing a pair of shoes to a pretty girl and wanting to know her back story.

Titled "Heroes of the Writers Strike," the posting can be found at www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7vHxw6El0E.

The film was written and directed by Gregg Rossen and Brian Sawyer, the comedy writing team behind the Jamie Kennedy television project "Model Family," which is set up at 20th Century Fox.

Rossen said the film was shot in one day last week in and around Santa Monica, and if you look closely, he noted, you can see an "orange hue" to the footage that was caused by the brush fires that were then raging across Southern California.

The film was designed to "keep people's spirits up" ahead of a possible strike, Rossen said. "There is a lot of concern from the writers' perspective. We wanted to show that the Internet is a viable means of distributing content, which is clearly one of the main sticking points in the negotiations."

But, he added, "it's all very tongue-in-cheek. It's not exactly what the writers are going to be doing [if there is a strike] but gives perspective. We want to support our fellow writers. It's good for people to laugh at something."

Rossen said the cast members in the film are his friends. They also include Harris Goldberg, who co-wrote the 1999 Rob Schneider comedy "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo," and David Garrett, a co-writer on 2005's "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo."

Cindy Davis Hewitt and her husband, Donald, who co-wrote the English version of Hayao Miyazaki's 2001 animated feature "Spirited Away," are depicted reading "The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers" to their real-life newborn daughter.

Rossen said the response to the posting from fellow writers has been "uniformly positive," although a few didn't want to think about selling cheeseburgers should a strike be called, preferring instead to use the time off to hone other skills, such as fly fishing, teaching yoga or learning Portuguese.
neighborhood and bused into a predominantly white middle school two-hours away by his strict, hard-working parents, Chris struggles to find his place while keeping his siblings in line at home and surmounting the challenges of junior high. This responsible, resilient adolescent brings a distinct, funny spin to his everyday trials and traumas, in the critically acclaimed, single-camera comedy "Everybody Hates Chris." The series won the NAACP Image Award for Best Comedy and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and People's Choice Award in its first season. Filled with dreams that being a teenager would be really cool, Chris' entry into adolescence is turning out to be less than idyllic. Moved from the projects to the tough "Bed-Stuy" neighborhood of Brooklyn, Chris is still stuck in his older-brother role. As the family's "emergency adult," he's responsible for taking care of Drew, his taller, more assured brother, and Tonya, the baby of the family, when his parents are working. His rugged, cost-conscious father Julius works multiple jobs to support the family. Meanwhile, his strict, sassy mother, Rochelle, runs the household on a tight budget, while demanding the best for her children. With his mother determined to see him in a good school, Chris grudgingly faces numerous bus transfers each day to attend Corleone Junior High in the fiercely Italian neighboring South Shore. Despite being a constant target for the school bully, Chris' inherent charm and sharp wit enable him to survive these rough years. It also helps to have a partner in crime - Greg, another smart, nice kid - who can't fight. As Chris Rock pointedly reflects back, his younger self is set to discover what his family already knows - Chris' sharp, scrappy nature is going to take him places. But first, he's going to have to think, talk or run his way through one growing experience after another at home, at school and on any number of buses along the way. The series stars Tyler James Williams ("Unaccompanied Minors") as Chris, Terry Crews ("The Longest Yard") as Julius, Tichina Arnold ("Martin") as Rochelle, Tequan Richmond ("Ray") as Drew, Imani Hakim as Tonya and Vincent Martella ("Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo") as Greg.

[edit] Plot
Gigolos in Europe are being terrorized by a serial killer. In Malibu, Deuce's wife is dead from a shark attack. Deuce is called up by T.J. Hicks, his former pimp, who invites him to come to Amsterdam where T.J. is pimping. Deuce goes because he is suspected of complicity in some dolphin-related injuries in Malibu.

When he gets to Amsterdam, T.J. shows him his boat, or "float crib," which has water in the cabin. They go to a coffee shop where T.J. tricks Deuce into getting high on space cake. There, Deuce looks at a painting on the wall, and has an audio-visual hallucination of a maiden who tells him her turn-ons. Also at the coffee shop, T.J. and Deuce run into Heinz Hummer, the "gigolo with the most below."

After leaving the coffee shop, Deuce finds Heinz Hummer dead in an alley, but thinks he is just "wasted." Deuce takes the dead gigolo to T.J.'s float crib, where T.J. states that Heinz is dead. After he is seen dumping the body with Heinz Hummer's zipper open (in an attempt to confirm rumors that he is "extremely large"), T.J. is portrayed in the media as a gay gigolo killer. At least, he escapes. Deuce, on the other hand, is apprehended and taken to the police station where he is interviewed by Gaspar, who wants to know where T.J. is hiding.

After being released, Deuce finds T.J. at a chicken 'n' waffles restaurant, and T.J. claims Deuce is racist for figuring out that he would be at "the only chicken 'n' waffles place in all of Holland." After they leave the restaurant, Deuce recalls that he saw the real killer walking away from Heinz Hummer's body. Deuce says it was a woman, so they both figure it was a she-john, a former client of the murdered gigolos.

T.J. convinces Deuce to help find the real killer by becoming a gigolo again and visiting the former clients and root out the killer. They attend a meeting of the Royal Order Of European Man Whores (an organization of male prostitutes), but fail to attain a list of the clients. Afterwards, they get the list from Antoine, the professional gigolo who appeared in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.

Deuce and T.J. visit the first client on the list. Deuce is forced into diapers and treated like a baby by the client, while T.J. breaks into her residence and searches for evidence. T.J. finds a brand of lipstick which might be the kind found on all the victims. After leaving, Deuce finds Gaspar on the street and shows him the lipstick. Gaspar throws the lipstick in the trash, saying that the lipstick found on the victims "is a very rare one: Lavender Love #66."

As Gaspar enters the police station, his niece, Eva, approaches him and gives him his lunch, which he forgot. Gaspar sneezes on his way inside, and Eva slaps herself three times. Deuce helps her pick up the things she dropped and Eva explains to Deuce that she has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Deuce, a fish enthusiast, sees that she has a painting of a fish, so they go to the Amsterdam aquarium together.

At the aquarium, Deuce has an argument with a cigarette-smoking Frenchman who repeatedly insults Deuce while mocking Americans and making advances on Eva. Deuce eventually puts the uppity Frenchman in his place and him and Eva leave the park because Eva has to get to work. To his horror, Deuce discovers that Eva works in the pornographic film industry, having heard women moaning inside the building he left her at as well as the line of partially clad men and a donkey waiting outside. Deuce rushes inside only to find that Eva is merely a set designer, and not a performer.

Deuce continues to investigate different women from Antoine's book, which include a woman named Svetlana who was born near Chernobyl and has a penis for a nose, a hunchbacked woman, a woman with a laryngectomy, and a woman with gigantic ears. As typical of Deuce, he tries various methods of helping these women feel more comfortable about their disfigurements. He has the hunchbacked woman wear a cut-open backpack which hides her hump, gets the woman with a tracheotomy a job as an airport announcer and takes the woman with the penis for a nose and the woman with the huge ears to a plastic surgery clinic. However, both come out with the same disfigurement, having opted for breast enhancement surgery instead.

While visiting Eva, Deuce is snooping around and finds clothing similar to the one wore by the killer he saw the night Heinz Hummer died, as well as the Lavender Love #66 lipstick. Deuce rushes to the police department and tells Gaspar that he thinks that Eva is the man-whore killer. Gaspar is reluctant to believe this, and even drops many hints that he himself is the man-whore killer which Deuce does not comprehend.

Gaspar goes home to see Eva, who has uncovered the fact that he is the man-whore killer. He locks Eva inside his room, knowing that she cannot use doorknobs. Deuce rides with Gaspar to the Man-Whore Awards Ceremony under the guise of protecting the male prostitutes there. However, to Gaspar's surprise Eva is chasing them on a motorbike, shouting at Deuce that Gaspar is the killer. Gaspar pulls out a gun on Deuce and proceeds to tell him a story that, once, he was a man-whore hopeful and that while observing a demonstration on how to perform a certain sex act one of his classmates offers to let him use his penis-enlargement pump. While pumping, the demonstration ends and Gaspar is horrified to learn that the woman the sex act was being performed on was his fiancée and is so angry he continues to pump until his penis explodes. He blames man-whores for the loss of his fiancée and his penis, and plans to blow them all up at the ceremony.

At the ceremony, Deuce manages to evacuate the building by saying he is the man-whore killer and that he has a bomb. Deuce and Gaspar then have a sword fight with penis-shaped swords. Gaspar ultimately beats Deuce, but before he can run Deuce through he is interrupted by the woman with a penis for a nose and the woman with a tracheotomy, who sprays a liquid at Gaspar temporarily blinding him. Deuce them picks up one of the scattered award trophies littering the floor and clobbers Gaspar in the back of the head, knocking him out cold and taking the bomb detonator from him.

For his bravery, Deuce is given the Golden Boner award and the respect of his fellow man-whores. He shares a passionate kiss with Eva, and accidentally sets off the bomb with the statue's penis bumps the detonator button. Deuce and Eva then promptly leave the scene. The next day Deuce and Eva come to pick up T.J., who was released from jail after being captured after an earlier murder, and tells him that he is entering a brand new prostitution market; gay man-whoring. Deuce then treats the two to some food at the Chicken & Waffle restaurant and they walk off as the screen fades black.


[edit] Critics and revenues
Roger Ebert gave this film a very rare "zero star" rating, ranking it as the worst film of 2005. He also chastised Rob Schneider for his overly-zealous defence of the series, referring to an incident in which a Los Angeles Times critic called Schneider a "third-rate comic"; Schneider responded by calling the Times critic a "third-rate, unfunny pompous reporter" in a full-page open letter published in Daily Variety and the Hollywood Reporter. Ebert includes this movie in his most hated films list.[2] On the television show Ebert & Roeper, Richard Roeper called the film "the cinematic equivalent of a bunch of 13 year old boys in a locker room repeating dirty phrases they've just learned."

Michael Medved also gave the film "0 stars", calling it "painfully unfunny" and saying "there's not a single laugh anywhere in this rancid, wretched, train-wreck [of a film]" [3]

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo became the lowest earning picture of 2005 for films opening at over 3,000 theatres, making only 22.4 million dollars.
