Critics Consensus

Despite impressively committed work from Drew Barrymore in a dual role,The Stand In struggles to find the humor in a premise with no shortage of comedic potential.

The Hollywood Reporter

This satire misfires.

As movies go, The Stand In certainly isn't a headliner. Yet like its title character, the movie and its star get about as much mileage as they can out of this opportunity.

The film's meanders somewhere between comedy-ish and drama-ish, never managing either.

The Stand In is an exercise in cinematic soul-sucking banality.

Even Barrymore's boundless charm can't save The Stand In.

Battleship Pretension

It's a feature length revenge fantasy, in which the adoring civilian finally finds out firsthand how exhausting and dehumanizing it is to be a celebrity.

Pleasant surprise! This was a fun and funny flick with some great cameos and Drew! I loved both of her characters. Solid humor.

So awkward, really everything about this is so rushed, poorly executed and super, super awkward. Usually lover Drew Barrymore so I tried this despite the horrific reviews. Trust the horrifying reviews-super, super, bad.

Oh dear God, this was horrifically awful. I wasted 35 minutes of my life, painfully watching this miserable movie and hoping that it would get better, but it didn't. And I couldn't spend any more time on it. Nooooo thank you Drew!

I can't believe how silly, lifeless, and insulting, The Stand In was. Even the extras looked lethargic and out of place.
