Big Stan blends comedy and action in a prison setting, centered on self-improvement and survival against odds. While the humor is distinct and character-driven, the movie also manages to lightly touch on serious social issues within the correctional system, wrapped in a light-hearted narrative that provides entertainment and a bit of introspection on personal change.
