THE STAND IN
Movies On Demand, 3:00 a.m. ET
MOVIE PREMIERE: Drew Barrymore stars in this new comedy film in not one role, but two. One is Candy, a Hollywood actress on hard times; the other is Paula, a much sweeter lookalike who serves as her cinematic stand-in. Paula’s job vanishes when Candy implodes on the set, and is forced eventually into court-mandated rehab – but there’s a clever twist in this Prince and the Pauper variant. Instead of having Paula replace Candy on the set and on film, Paula is hired by Candy to replace her at the rehab facility, and serve her time. The events after that may not be as clever as the premise, and the script may not be as sweetly charming as Barrymore (or, in this case, even more Barrymore) – but as a Friday night shut-in option, The Stand In is a passable possible entertainment option. Co-stars include Ellie Kemper, Holland Taylor and, also from The Prom, Andrew Rannells.
