      What to Know

      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.

      Maren S Pleasant surprise! This was a fun and funny flick with some great cameos and Drew! I loved both of her characters. Solid humor. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review s d Really terrible - not what I'd expect from Drew Barrymore Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review A. T SPOILERS! I don't understand why this got duch bad reviews. I completely enjoyed this film. Yes, of course there's things you could call out that couldn't really happen. Like when she takes the house. But it was okay with me because Cathy didn't care and the entire time I just wanted to know how OG Candy (Cathy) would end up and it was perfect to me! She was happy so I wad happy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/22 Full Review James L 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/22 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't believe how silly, lifeless, and insulting, The Stand In was. Even the extras looked lethargic and out of place. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Leslie Felperin Hollywood Reporter This satire misfires. Dec 19, 2020 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com 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. Dec 11, 2020 Full Review Nell Minow RogerEbert.com The film's meanders somewhere between comedy-ish and drama-ish, never managing either. Rated: 1/4 Dec 11, 2020 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut The Stand In is an exercise in cinematic soul-sucking banality. Rated: 0.5/5 Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Jade Budowski Decider Even Barrymore's boundless charm can't save The Stand In. Apr 15, 2021 Full Review David Bax 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.
