SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Sandcooler Throughout "Big Stan" I was constantly thinking about "Dirty Work", the debut film of Rob Schneider's SNL colleague Norm MacDonald. There's one scene in "Dirty Work" where Norm has just been violated and gives the rapists a good talking to. Every time I hear him say "what hurts the most is the lack of respect" I just crack up, it's probably one of the funniest things ever done with the subject. Apparently Schneider also watched that scene and figured: hey, why not just do prison rape jokes for 105 minutes, preferably with fewer laughs than in that one minute of "Dirty Work"? The studio said okay for some reason, and so he got to make a movie that features an Asian rapist going "here's comes the egg roll!". An even bigger problem though is that Schneider insists on giving this the atmosphere of an underdog tale, even though his character has no redeeming qualities. He sorta kinda becomes a better person in the third act, but that doesn't make up for him not getting beaten to a bloody pulp in the first two. It's also quite amazing to see how quickly David Carradine lost momentum after "Kill Bill", just four years after his glorious comeback he was already back to parodying himself in embarrassing bit parts like this and "Epic Movie". Kind of sad to see a cult legend go out like that, it's not like "Big Stan" wasn't depressing enough.

joehonaker This is easily Rob Schneider's best effort and it's beyond belief that this movie was never released in theaters especially since it was ready for release at about the same time as that terrible Adam Sandler "Grown Ups" movie.This is one of those movies you can watch over and over and find new things that you missed because you were laughing. This movie takes into consideration all the fears that most men have about going to prison and is one of my few 10 out of 10 ratings. Spectacular movie. I hope he makes more outside the Sandler world. I think the more people that see this movie the more popular it will become. I loved seeing David Carradine playing a super bad-ass again and it only makes you miss him even more now that he's gone.

Raiyan Mahmood Moon if you are a fan of Rob Schneider and his movies, if you love to watch comedies, this movie is a great treat for you. it's not an intellectual movie, neither it provides lots of knowledge of life. it's about pure entertainment. if you want to be entertained, don't give it a miss.Acting of all the characters are as per the requirement of the script. as a directer, Rob Schneider has done good job. Donno why it got very poor review from the critics, critics again proved themselves as sheet-heads. but my advise for the intellectual people is they should avoid it. this is for us, who watch movie to have to good & fun time.

midtra52 I know it may sound crazy, but I thought this was one of the best comedies I've seen. I don't see how there's not more of an interest in this movie to be honest.Well the movie definitely plays of Rob Schneider's fear of anal rape, which makes for a hilarious setup. The interactions between Schneider and "the master" are hilarious. David Carradine can really do about anything. He was incredible in Kill Bill and he plays this part perfectly as well.All I can say is if you watch this movie and don't laugh you might need to get your sense of humor checked out. That or you're too young and you shouldn't be watching it anyway!
