      Stan Minton: Where did *that* come form?

      Mindy: What do you *think* I've been doing with The Master for the past six months?

      The Master: Nice work taking care of Dang, but you're still my Number Two Student.

      Stan Minton: Huh?

      The Master: [pointing to Mindy] *She'll* kick your ass.

      Stan Minton: I think I might like that.

    A comedy that celebrates the good side of human nature
    This film is about a swindler learning to be tough to prepare for gong to prison, and while in prison he creates a series of changes for the better.

    Stan worries about being raped in prison, so he get a Kung Fu master to teach him martial arts to protect himself. In no time, he becomes the king in the prison, with the ability to command all the gangs. The plot is straightforward, simple and easy to digest. Three are many funny jokes and hilarious scenes. There are some gross humour, but they all stop before becoming cheap or disgusting. The best of all is the positive message about tolerance and acceptance. He manages to promote peace and unity in the prison, which is heartwarming and uplifting.

    Rob Schneider should be commended for making this human and uplifting comedy. Just like his previous films, his characters have hilarious adventures, but in the end there is a touching message that brings out the good side of human nature. "Big Stan" is a warm and funny film. I recommend it.
