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.

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.

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

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.

Whether you love him or hate him, your opinion of Rob Schneider will remain unchanged by the end.

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

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