When I wasn’t watching Horror movies with my dad, we were watching parody/slapstick comedies together, like Airplane, Kentucky Fried Movie, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Mel Brooks’ movies, and so on. Therefore, I appreciate the smart humor (because it is not easy to write what is perceived as stupid humor) and wish there were more movies that were in on the joke when they attempt that format.
Well, we have one cumming, I mean coming with Stop! That! Train! And I, for one, cannot wait to see it!
The trailer had me at 10 seconds in with, “Tell it to me straight…Now, tell it to me at gay!” At that moment, I knew this film was going to be a nonstop laugh riot.
STOP! THAT! TRAIN! follows best friends Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee), train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on the Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express. When a catastrophic “Stormaganza” threatens to derail the high-speed train and crash it into Los Angeles, the duo in coach must join forces with the snobby first class attendants (Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia) and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day in this wild ride of camp and comedy.
It also stars Latrice Royale, Monét X Change, Rachel Bloom, Matt Rogers, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Visage, Chris Parnell, Jerry O’Connell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Charo, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Natasha Leggero, Drew Droege, Raven-Symoné, and Joel McHale.
The comedic Disaster movie is directed by Adam Shankman.
Stop! That! Train! rides into theaters on June 12th.
