Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

dtien The Stand-In is a compelling story about an actor trying to catch his big break. The story is a realistic look at the cost and pain of trying to follow a dream and the sacrifices that come with that pursuit. Robbie Bryan does a nice job of creating characters that are real and easy to care about.One of the nicer story lines in the film is the relationship between Brian Roberts (Robbie Bryan) and Half-step Wilson (Lou Meyers). The friendship that develops between Brian and Half-step is touching and tender. Meyers gives an outstanding performance, showing both the bitterness of not being able to achieve his own dreams and the compassion he feels as he watches Brian try to chase his dream of becoming an actor.Even more gripping than the film's plot, are the bonus interviews included on the DVD. These interviews show you some of the real-life struggles and sacrifices Robbie Bryan and his collaborators faced to bring The Stand-In to the screen. I think the biggest success of the film and DVD is the fact that Bryan caused me to care not only for the characters in the movie, but, since it parallels his own life, to care about him and what happens in his own career. Well done, Robbie Bryan. I'm rooting for you!

travlbum Fun story of a regular guy with big dreams, this low budget film really hits home showing what it is like trying to become an acting success. Great performances by Lou Myers and Brian's neighbor, Alex. I giggled alot and even cried a little.

jeffk-7 Many funny scenes about the people that you don't normally pay attention to in a movie and what they have to do to get work and what happens once they do. Lou Myers was very funny as Half-Step Wilson. Any guy that has a tight group of friends can relate to many of the non-movie related scenes scattered throughout the movie.

metsbball Anyone who has ever gone on an audition can certainly relate to this one. Great story of an aspiring actor and the pressures he must deal with both personally and professionally in order to make it to the big time. Lou Myers, as Half-Step Wilson, provides many hilarious moments.
