JENNIFER MORRISON | BIG STAN

Jennifer plays Mindy, the somewhat dimwitted but loveable wife of Stan, a rich real estate broker who defrauds elderly people into buying crappy condos. He's arrested and sentenced to 3 years in prison. With the help of a seriously disturbed martial arts Master (named, The Master), he learns how to defend himself from any possible rape attacks. While in prison, his abilities manage to make him the top dog and he begins to change prison life for everyone, much to the sadistic and corrupt warden's dismay. In the end, Stan turns the prisoners against the evil warden, brings peace to the prison population, and serves his time. He gets out to see his wife, daughter and The Master-- who's now the nanny-- waiting for him.

It's a Rob Schneider movie, and its humor is a lot like his other films: lots of silly humor and jokes only a 12-year-old would love. But I was genuinely surprised at how great Jen was. Jen and David Carradine (The Master) really owned the movie and played well off each other. DC had me laughing my ass off at one point. And Jen was funnier than Rob was. She really kind of stole the show in all of her scenes with him. I was also surprised at how large Jen's role was. I thought she'd only be in a small bit of the movie but she was really a big part of it. There were a few scenes where I was really cracking up at something Jen did (the way she ran in her heels and how she'd react to certain things going 'yaay!' or 'sounds fun!' come to mind). Her character reminded me of Elle Woods from Legally Blonde... she was that sort of loveable and dippy girl that Elle was. You couldn't help but like her.

Overall, though, the movie wasn't that great so I can see why it wouldn't make the theaters. But I think Jen did amazingly well with what she had to work with, as did David Carradine.
