Big Fan (2009) is a dark comedy-drama film directed by Robert D. Siegel and starring Patton Oswalt. The movie follows the story of a die-hard New York Giants fan, Paul Aufiero (Oswalt), who is confronted with a moral dilemma when he is beaten up by his favorite player. While the movie is not particularly known for its sexual content, there are a few moments that are worth noting.
The first sexual moment in the movie occurs when Paul is at a bar with his friend Sal (Kevin Corrigan). Sal is trying to convince Paul to go home with a woman he has been flirting with, but Paul is hesitant. Sal then tells Paul that he should “go for it” and “get some”. This is a subtle moment, but it is a reminder that Paul is a grown man and should not be afraid to explore his sexuality.
The second sexual moment in the movie occurs when Paul is in the hospital after being beaten up. His nurse, played by Marcia Jean Kurtz, is very flirtatious with him and even offers to give him a sponge bath. This moment is played for laughs, but it is also a reminder that Paul is a sexual being and that he should not be afraid to explore his sexuality.
The third sexual moment in the movie occurs when Paul is at a strip club with Sal. Sal is trying to convince Paul to go home with one of the strippers, but Paul is hesitant. Sal then tells Paul that he should “go for it” and “get some”. This is a subtle moment, but it is a reminder that Paul is a grown man and should not be afraid to explore his sexuality.
Overall, Big Fan (2009) is not a movie that is known for its sexual content. However, there are a few moments that are worth noting. These moments serve as a reminder that Paul is a sexual being and that he should not be afraid to explore his sexuality.
An extended scene takes place in a strip club. As Paul tries to figure out how to talk to his favorite player, scantily clad dancers proposition him, he and his buddy refuse, but the bare butt of another dancer in the background is shown for an extended period of time, and paintings of nude women are visible on the walls.
In the beginning, Paul grabs a container of lotion and puts it under his sheet, so he can pleasure himself. Paul vulgarly tells his mom about his brother's adultery, and she complains about his problems with sexual self-gratification.
You see rapid movement under Paul's sheets later on, but he stops.
Numerous sexist and homophobic insults are said by football fans.
