Ok, I understand the bad reviews because the movie was presented as a comedy, but it's not a comedy at all. It's more of a drama / thriller movie and within those genres it works very well. Drew Barrymore did an excellent job, she played two roles, this depressed, overwhelmed woman with severe problems and on the other hand there is this other character, who at first seems to be a happy girl with problems but innocent, although little by little she is showing her true essence. So if you are going to see this movie, I recommend you not to see it as a comedy, because you will not find jokes, funny scenes, etc. See this movie for what it is, a drama with touches of thriller.
And I repeat, Drew Barrymore really did an excellent job here!
The movie doesn't suck that much. It's still watchable (cause it's Drew Barrymore, or course), but I'm not really satisfied with it. I thought the genre is comedy, but after I've watched the whole movie, it didn't feel like a comedy. It's more like a drama / thriller. The part where the stand-in started doing illegal stuff, it gave me a mild chilling vibe. It can easily turn into a thriller movie.
As a comedy it gave me zero out of 10 stars. As a thriller it gave me 3 out of 10 stars. The only reason I gave it 5 stars is Drew. Actually, she's the only reason I decided to watch this movie.
Up until the first half of the film, I kept waiting for any comedy scene that might come up. But after the first half I realized that this is definitely not a comedy. Since Drew Barrymore has been known for doing many romantic comedies, I thought this one will be one of them. Even though this idea of switching places have been done before many times, the idea of the film about a movie star with anger management issue, as she steps out of the spotlight and becomes a recluse, is interesting in a way. It's very poorly executed. Mainly it's because it's very hard to sympathize with either characters, Candy black is very mean and foulmouthed, and her stand-in who seemed like a nice person at first, turned out to be an opportunist, who wants to steal her identity and become a movie star herself. I guess the only normal character was Michael Zegen, except the weird story he tells about the Nazi incident !!!! Also in what world is the stand-in supposed to be an exact copy of Candy Black, with her obvious change in her nose, and why does she speaks in this weird tone of voice?? Drew Barrymore is a lovely actress, but this film is very bad on some many levels. What a waste of talent for great supporting actors like T.J. Miller, Ellie Kemper and Holland Taylor. Now that we know it's not a comedy, I wish i could say it's a drama, or a thriller, but it's also not that.
Once you step in shoes of another,be prepared for what's to come..
Towards the end you see that Paula,started taking on traits of Candy.
Not saying either was justified for their actions,or lack thereof but one walked away a better person overall.
This wasn't a comedy,instead dark humor on fame & being true to yourself.
Drew has done better work,still worth seeing because she's in it.

I enjoyed this film. I almost didn't watch it after reading the reviews but was able to see a few that really explained the genre. I'm glad I gave it a chance. It is definitely a dark comedy/drama with a bit if a twisted thriller in there too. Barrymore was excellent as usual and her creepy stand-in played her part well. This is an odd little film and it is worth watching for those who want to see something interesting with good production.

- WissenswertesFebruary 22, 2019, filming in Versailles, Kentucky, USA. One known location is The Amsden, a building which houses a bourbon bar, coffee house, and store.
- PatzerEventually, both Candy and Paula would be exposed.
Both Candy and Paula have their own Social Security numbers. Paula would have to use Candy's to submit her taxes as Candy, although Candy (really Kathy) would be using the same number to her taxes as her real self.
Eventually, either the IRS or the media, would notice.
