STAN THE MAN

Cinemavixion Review

Steven Chase directs and stars in "Stan the Man," a 2020 comedy-romance that plunges into the decadent world of a new-money millionaire. Chase embodies Stan Mann, a man whose life revolves around indulgence, only to find himself stripped of everything after a disastrous gambling venture with the Russian mob. A pivotal moment of near-death, where Stan takes a bullet meant for a store clerk named Kristi (portrayed by Anne Leighton), leads to a divine intervention. An angel grants Stan a mere 30 days to alter his self-destructive path, find redemption, and, crucially, discover his one true love. The film, featuring Katherine Kelly Lang alongside Chase and Leighton, offers a moralistic tale wrapped in the glitz and glamour of a high-stakes lifestyle, exploring themes of second chances and the true meaning of wealth.
