Once upon a time, there lived a tiny, insecure man who learned the only way he could make his enormous ego feel comfortable in his teeny, tiny body was to embarrass, humiliate, and torture others. He thought he was a master of disguise, fooling others into believing he was a big man. Yet he was only fooling himself, and through time his unconscionable behavior repulsed and repelled everyone. If his heart was three or three-hundred sizes too small, it didn't matter by then because no one was around to even care... Written by

I've seen many comedy movies in my life, some good and some bad. Some comedy movies involve large quantities of drugs or nudity to support the humor. This movie however shows that with the right amount of goof and whit you can make a most excellent comedy. Big Stan tells the story about a con artist that finds himself a ticket to prison for fraud. This very skinny (please make sure to watch his legs) guy has to survive in prison. Without telling too much about the story involved, this movie makes sure you have a good time. There is a great cast and even the smaller roles are cast with effort. This movie makes you wish every prison out there had their own Big Stan! There aren't many movies this funny and sadly lacking a lot of publicity this movie is a gem among the many lacking comedies.I think a lot of people will find something they like in this movie. Humor is the most difficult thing to transfer across cultures, but this movie has a little something for everyone. From people enjoying easy humor found in stoner comedies to those who love Mr. Bean, this movie uses a great blend of humor.
This movie will make you laugh beyond a doubt, try it and find your own funny bone.
