Critic Reviews

  • Ruth Hessey, MovieTime, ABC Radio National

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

  • Joly Herman, Common Sense Media

    Prison rape comedy is offensive and a waste of time.

  • Brian Orndorf, DVDTalk.com

    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.

  • Jarrod Walker, FILMINK (Australia)

    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.

  • Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald

    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 have a soft spot for comedies & specially silly cmedies & the first hour of Big Stan works for me as a silly comedy but after that it becomes annoying & annoying to the point of being nauseous & the only funny thing is that it tries to get serious too, Daivid… More

    So stupid it becomes likeabe. The stupidity is a plus as Rob Schneider is sentenced to jail and fearing rape while he is on the inside, he decides to learn martial arts. For the majority of the film it doesn't make enough of it's bizarre premise. There's a few good… More

    Big Stan has it?s fair share of funny moments, filled with adult humour. This un-PC film has a realistic slant on prison life, whilst obviously putting a comical spin on it. I feel it takes a little while to warm up, there were only a few laugh out loud moments, but I still found… More
