A wimpy con artist (Rob Schneider) learns martial arts from a mysterious master (David Carradine) so that he can protect himself in jail.

This may be the first mainstream Hollywood comedy where the anus drives the movie -- and I don't mean that as a double entendre.

Rated: 1.5/5

2008 has, with one or two exceptions, been a diabolical year for American comedy, and Big Stan hits rock bottom.

Prison rape comedy is offensive and a waste of time.

A prison comedy that boldly confronts the "hilarity" of male rape, Big Stan isn't as offensive as it imagines itself to be, and nowhere near as silly as I'm sure Rob Schneider hoped for. It's a just a forgettable, unfunny waste of time.

Rated: D

I wasted two valuable hours of my life on Big Stan -- don't make the same mistake.

If you're not a fan, then this won't do much to convert you, unless you, like Schneider, have a dubious obsession with anal rape jokes.

If you expected more than dumb humor, you're pretty dumb. Take it as it is. A Rob Schneider film. Not a complete waste of time, but I like The Hot Chick more. If you didn't laugh, my apologies. Most bad reviews seem homophobic. So there's that.

What did you expect? I knew what I was getting into. I guess the only part that irritates me is that we dont know why "The Master" even came into Stans life... like.... its the biggest annoying glaring plot hole that, you are like.. wait just a mysterious guru, who decides to help this guy out? For why? lol.. i dunno other than that, its one of those movies you watch by yourself as a guilty pleasure... unless you have friends or something who like this kinda stuff.. I dont.. lulz...
