a5c7b9f00b A weak con man panics when he learns he&#39;s going to prison for fraud. He hires a mysterious martial arts guru who helps transform him into a martial arts expert who can fight off inmates who want to hurt or love him. The fraudulent real state agent Stan is married with his beloved Mindy and has a seven million dollar fortune. When he is arrested for fraud, he is sentenced to three years in prison and his assets are frozen by the justice. However, his crooked lawyer Lew Popper negotiates a six month freedom, and the weak Stan, who is afraid of being raped in prison, hires the specialist in martial arts The Master to teach him self-defense. Six months later, Big Stan is sent to the Oaksburgh State Penitentiary totally confident in his expertise in martial arts. He challenges the violent leaders of the gangs and defeats them, being respected by the inmates and bringing peace in the patio. However, the dirty Warden Gasque has the intention of transforming the penitentiary in a luxury resort, and uses Big Stan knowledge to improve his project, promising to release him sooner using the corrupt penal system. Rob Schneider doesn&#39;t receive a lot of love from critics nor fans of comedy in general and I suppose some of that criticism is warranted… Either way I&#39;m not here to judge. His abilitiesa comedic actor or his career choices are not my focus here. I&#39;m writing to make you aware of a movie that is probably the single most underrated comedy of the past 20 years. <br/><br/>Over the years I&#39;ve recommended this film to friends (none of whom were even aware of its existence) and every single one of them I&#39;ve followed up with has been amazed at how a comedy with virtually no cultural footprint could be so entertaining to watch. <br/><br/>It even holds up to repeated views!<br/><br/>Do yourself a favor.. if you are a fan of raunchy comedy, watch Big Stan. You&#39;ll thank me later. This is easily Rob Schneider&#39;s best effort and it&#39;s beyond belief that this movie was never released in theaters especially since it was ready for release at about the same timethat terrible Adam Sandler &quot;Grown Ups&quot; 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&#39;s gone.
