Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Sorry, this movie sucks
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Rob Schneider doesn'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'm not here to judge. His abilities as a comedic actor or his career choices are not my focus here. I'm writing to make you aware of a movie that is probably the single most underrated comedy of the past 20 years. Over the years I've recommended this film to friends (none of whom were even aware of its existence) and every single one of them I've followed up with has been amazed at how a comedy with virtually no cultural footprint could be so entertaining to watch. It even holds up to repeated views!Do yourself a favor.. if you are a fan of raunchy comedy, watch Big Stan. You'll thank me later.
If you think about a typical Rob Schneider movie, this might not be too different than what you might expect. However, there are 3 things which really stand out in this film to make it an above average (Rob Schneider) movie:1. David Carradine. It was great to see him and he played his role well. 2. The fight scenes in this movie were actually pretty good. 3. Rob Schneider obviously did some bulking up for his role.The story was decent, the script was above average, all the supporting characters did a good job as well. Overall, it was an entertaining movie, keeping in mind that the bulk of the movie takes place in a prison, so you get a lot of prison humor.
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.
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!
