How come Adam keeps giving this guy jobs. All the movies starring Rob Schneider have been released under the Happy Madison label which is headed by Rob's good friend Adam Sandler. All of Rob's movies have been box office flops and have been panned by critics! He has also never won any awards for his acting. So how come Adam keeps giving him more movies? All his movies revolve around stupid jokes that a three year old could come up with. Not only is he incapable of acting he is an idiot as well. Just listen to these stories taken from reliable sources.

In January 2005, film critic Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times said in an article that Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo was overlooked for an Academy Award because "nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic." Schneider responded two weeks later with full-page ads in Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter where he said "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."

In August 2005, film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times responded to the ad in his review for Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. While noting that an online search showed that Goldstein had won a National Headliner Award, a Los Angeles Press Club Award, a RockCritics.com award, and the Publicists' Guild award for lifetime achievement, Ebert said "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." Ebert's website editor, Jim Emerson, also brought up a section of Schneider's former SNL castmate Jay Mohr's autobiography, in which Mohr said that Schneider was condescending to him.

Prior to the incident, Schneider had called into The Howard Stern Show while Ebert was a guest, and said "My movies are funny. You (Ebert) totally slam me every time..." and said that he didn't "think he (Ebert) got laid a lot in high school." Later in an interview with Stuff magazine, Schneider called Ebert an "ass" and said "I'm told he's not nice to the people he works with." Ebert rejected the accusation and said "...if he's going to persist in making bad movies, he's going to have to grow accustomed to reading bad reviews."
