Movie Info
Deuce Bigalow star Rob Schneider writes and stars in this comedy about a nerdy con man whose swindling ways ultimately land him a stiff prison sentence. Terrified at the prospect of being raped while serving time, the diminutive convict-to-be enlists the aid of a respected kung-fu expert in teaching him how to properly defend himself. Once inside, however, he finds his kung-fu serving as a catalyst for peace between the many warring factions. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I wasted two valuable hours of my life on Big Stan -- don't make the same mistake.
Top CriticPrison 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.
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.
This may be the first mainstream Hollywood comedy where the anus drives the movie -- and I don't mean that as a double entendre.
2008 has, with one or two exceptions, been a diabolical year for American comedy, and Big Stan hits rock bottom.
some good laughs to be had... Schneider's best film since The Hot Chick
If you leave all your grown up sensibilities at the door and fill up on popcorn while watching Big Stan, preferably in a crowd of your like-minded mates, you'll probably have a roaring good time.
Whether you love him or hate him, your opinion of Rob Schneider will remain unchanged by the end.
