Why didn't Happy Madison produce this movie?


Anyone know why?

I call movies that are considered 'bad' hated movies.

No idea, but I was extremely surprised by how good this movie was! Really enjoyable for some reason.

"Really enjoyable for some reason." I think one of the main reasons is that it's refreshing to watch an indie movie made by someone with Hollywood experience, because it has competence learned from Hollywood experience _and_ doesn't follow the Hollywood rules about what's "too offensive."

Wrong the just released HM produced film Bucky Larson is rated R.

A naked American man stole my balloons!

Not to mention the Deuce Bigalow movies, Grandma's Boy, and Strange Wilderness were also rated R.

Given that Bucky Larson is an embarrassing mess by a guy with less of a track record and Big Stan is very worthwhile and by a guy with more of a track record, I really am curious why Adam wouldn't have financed Big Stan.
