The Stand In

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.

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.

The story is a bit trite. A few laughs though so not terrible. Barrymore's performance is really very good I'll have to admit. Pity the script wasn't up to it.

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.

It had it's moments and could have been really good.... but ultimately it was a bit naff.
