Big Stan (Rob Schneider) is arrested in the opening scene for fraud. He is sentenced to go to prison. Not wanting to be raped in jail, he hires "The Master" (David Carradine) to teach him how to fight. In 6 months our weakling Stan is converted into a fighting machine capable of defeating men several times his size and strength.In prison, Big Stan becomes the top dog and pacifies the inmates to the dismay of the warden. The humor consisted of stale prison jokes and pokes fun at Scientology. I found it rather lame and juvenile.F-bomb, brief nudity, crude sexual content.
... View MoreThis had to of been a joke. I mean at least the story was OK enough to make me wonder what is going on, but Rob Schneider was strange for this role. He directed it also. Do you think he just woke up and was like, I want to learn martial arts and make a movie about me fighting all the time. This is not the type of character he is use to playing and he really failed at it. I mean the last time I saw something like this was Beverly Hills Ninja with Chris Farley. Although, even though Farley was taught martial arts, he used it in a comedic way. Schneider was all serious and tried to have epic fight scenes. But he was just too slow. I mean I give him credit for learning, but when an enemy stands there for five minutes waiting for Schneider to do a roundhouse kick to attack him, you know something is wrong. Again, the story was just OK. It really didn't have a plot, but it did make you wonder what was going to happen. Or maybe I was just waiting for a really funny part. Too bad I really didn't get anything. All the rest of the cast didn't make sense and there is no point to mention them. Although David Carradine was in it and I would hate to have this movie under my belt before I passed away.
... View MoreI used to think that "Wanted" was the worst film ever made, but now, after seeing "Big Stan" I know that this is the worst film ever made, and not even the movies of Uwe Boll and Ed Wood reach the lowest pits achieved by this horrible piece of trash. No words can describe how bad it is this film. It was the first movie directed by rob Schneider (Possibly the worst comedian of the entire history of cinema: He never made a single good film, he is not funny at all, he is not likable, and he always play disgusting and unlikeable characters) and the result is dreadful at best. The jokes doesn't work, the performances are terrible, and the story is just ugly and disgusting, without any single redeeming value. "Big Stan" is awful beyond words. Avoid this film like plague. The only reason why I'm giving this abomination one star, it's because I can rate it with negatives. "Big Stan" makes "Manos: The Hands of Fate" look like a masterpiece.-1000/10
... View MoreFrom start to finish, the new comedy Big Stan is way more original than most movies out there. Surprisingly, this great comedy actually stars Rob Schneider, who in this, is surprisingly hilarious. He plays Stan, a time share worker who gets arrested for fraud. Instead of automatically sending him to prison, the court gives him six months before serving a minimum of three years. He is afraid of being sexually molested in prison so in order to learn how to protect himself, he enlists the help of The Master (David Carradine), a professional kung fu fighter. Enter Stan in prison. The head of the prison is trying to build a place to do business with, and enlists the help of Stan. If Stan does that, he gets out after a year. Stan becomes the role model of the prison. If he says there shall be no violence, everyone agrees there shall be no violence. Rob Schneider is greatly natural in his role. Unlike with a lot of Schneider's previous roles, he doesn't go too over the top. Instead he is as calm and funny as ever. This movie thoroughly earns all the big laughs it gets. It is a perfect parody showing how ludicrous these prison films are. This is a great comedy definitely worth checking out if you have any sense of humor.
