And lo, the voices of a thousand people screamed in unison. Okay, so maybe we’re over🧸reacting to news that Rob Schneider will direct for the first time. And the Deuce Bigalow movies weren’t that bad. Were they?

Still, the synopsis of his chosen directorial debut doesn’t exactly have us clutching our sides. Big Stan sees a weaselly con artist who panics when he learns he’ getting sent to prison. The wimpy criminal hires a martial arts expe🔯rt so he can avoid unpleasant encounters with fellow cons.

There’ cause for hope, though: the script’ written by Josh ꦍLieb, who has worked on The Simpsons. So maybe this’ll be a lꦛaugh fest after all…
