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 was nothing but the Johnny bits, and that is a winning formula for me. |

| 160147 | Peter Travers | The Travers Take | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2026-06-12T19:02:25.000Z | 2026-06-12 19:02:25 | This raucous runaway choo-choo comedy starring RuPaul as the POTUS we need right now is perfect fun for Pride month. Even when the jokes miss, this fan valentine never laughs at the drag queens, always with them. And that counts. |
| 160137 | Wilson Chapman | IndieWire | Fresh | B- | 2026-06-12T17:12:50.000Z | 2026-06-12 17:12:50 | A movie best enjoyed about three margaritas deep, it’s not as disposable as your average acting challenge sketch from the show, but it’s not likely to register as a comedy that can be endlessly revisited, either. |
| 160132 | Kristy Puchko | Mashable | Fresh | — | 2026-06-12T16:08:48.000Z | 2026-06-12 16:08:48 | It's 'Airplane!' with drag queens. What more could we ask for? |
| 160124 | Cortlyn Kelly | RogerEbert.com | Rotten | 1.5/4 | 2026-06-12T14:27:59.000Z | 2026-06-12 14:27:59 | It’s the type of slop, like those chicken nuggets made from pink slime, that may taste good at first but has absolutely no nutritional value. |
| 160121 | Todd Jorgenson | Cinemalogue | Rotten | — | 2026-06-12T13:49:07.000Z | 2026-06-12 13:49:07 | The film’s irreverent vibe balances out the uneven joke hit-to-miss ratio. |
| 160118 | Katie Rife | Inverse | Fresh | — | 2026-06-12T13:13:13.000Z | 2026-06-12 13:13:13 | Self-aware and terminally silly, the first Drag Race feature film isn’t a total trainwreck. |
| 160098 | Brian Orndorf | Blu-ray.com | Fresh | B- | 2026-06-12T01:52:46.000Z | 2026-06-12 01:52:46 | The feature isn’t a much of a gut-buster either, but it does retain modest charm and touches of impishness, remaining good-natured and ready to put on a show. |
| 160071 | Pete Hammond | Deadline Hollywood Daily | Fresh | — | 2026-06-11T23:51:48.000Z | 2026-06-11 23:51:48 | A bit of fan service that will still provide a good enough time for the crowd who can’t get enough of RuPaul’s Drag Race. |
| 160072 | Odie Henderson | Boston Globe | Rotten | 2/4 | 2026-06-11T23:49:43.000Z | 2026-06-11 23:49:43 | The actors are so full of joy, good humor, and the desire to entertain that I sincerely wished that the script by Christina Friel and Connor Wright was a lot funnier. |
| 160073 | Owen Myers | Guardian | Fresh | 4/5 | 2026-06-11T23:47:59.000Z | 2026-06-11 23:47:59 | A 90-minute madcap riot that deserves a spot in drag comedy herstory alongside White Chicks and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. |
| 160066 | Jocelyn Noveck | Associated Press | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2026-06-11T23:09:47.000Z | 2026-06-11 23:09:47 | The gags never stop. Not every one of them soars, but enough do that you’ll likely just be giggling for 90 minutes. |
| 157340 | Samantha Allen | them. | Fresh | — | 2026-06-11T20:51:46.000Z | 2026-06-11 20:51:46 | ... although nothing can really touch the 1980 comedy classic, this new queer comedy does a perfectly fine job of mirroring that zany tone. |
| 157337 | Marisa Carpico | The Pop Break | Fresh | — | 2026-06-11T20:27:17.000Z | 2026-06-11 20:27:17 | While Stop! That! Train! likely isn’t destined to become a classic, it is silly enough to give audiences something fun to watch with friends during Pride Month. With the right people and, perhaps, the right amount of alcohol, it is non-stop laughs. |
| 157335 | Rich Cline | Shadows on the Wall | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-06-11T19:49:46.000Z | 2026-06-11 19:49:46 | Sure enough, the world is definitely in need of films as ridiculous as this one, overflowing with goofy wordplay, slapstick and sight gags. Fans of RuPaul's Drag Race will also enjoy a the continuous barrage of inside running jokes and catchphrases. |
| 157328 | Randy Myers | San Jose Mercury News | Fresh | 3/4 | 2026-06-11T19:05:27.000Z | 2026-06-11 19:05:27 | Tosses out the right sassy quips while the drag star-dominant cast get a bodacious opportunity to dance and sing, all making this an E-ticket ride that’s impossible to sashay away from without a big smile on your face. |
| 157329 | Chris Azzopardi | New York Times | Fresh | — | 2026-06-11T19:04:04.000Z | 2026-06-11 19:04:04 | Stop! That! Train! tells it to you in the most thoroughly, brazenly and exuberantly gay way, as though to say, this is the train many of us will want to be riding if it must go off the rails. |
| 157327 | Joey Moser | The Contending | Fresh | — | 2026-06-11T18:50:40.000Z | 2026-06-11 18:50:40 | A furiously funny stupid-a-thon |

Train! is the shameless spiritual cousin to Airplane and other spoof movies that never met a joke it couldn’t or wouldn’t crack. Like an episode of Drag Race, it is colorful, chaotic and escapist. |
| 155597 | Brandon Zachary | Screen Rant | Fresh | 7/10 | 2026-06-11T13:01:32.000Z | 2026-06-11 13:01:32 | Whatever the secret ingredient is, the result is a movie that is non-stop hilarious and unapologetically goofy. It may not be deep, it may not be compelling, but it is silly enough to be great. |
| 155594 | Todd Gilchrist | Variety | Fresh | — | 2026-06-11T05:22:39.000Z | 2026-06-11 05:22:39 | Appealing performances by Ginger Minj, Jujubee and RuPaul as the Commander in Chief keep this action comedy disaster movie on the right track even when the train of the title threatens to fly off the rails. |
| 155581 | Pat Mullen | That Shelf | Fresh | — | 2026-06-11T00:39:16.000Z | 2026-06-11 00:39:16 | As radical as it is raucous. It creates a space where drag queens simply exist as everyday people. |
| 155579 | Carla Hay | Culture Mix | Rotten | — | 2026-06-10T22:59:38.000Z | 2026-06-10 22:59:38 | Stop! That! Train! wants to mix the campiness of RuPaul's Drag Race and the wackiness of 1980's Airplane!, but the results are inept jokes and uninteresting characters. The story tries too hard to be cute and edgy, but it's mostly boring and lazy. |
| 155573 | Robin Clifford | Reeling Reviews | Fresh | C+ | 2026-06-10T18:58:17.000Z | 2026-06-10 18:58:17 | If we could bring back Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker one last time, Ru Paul Charles (producer and playing President Gagwell)) and her crew might have had something a lot better. But, as I said, its heart is in the right place. |
| 154576 | Chauncey K. Robinson | People's World | Fresh | A | 2026-06-10T17:07:20.000Z | 2026-06-10 17:07:20 | It’s one of the "most important" films of our time. Well, not really, but it’s definitely the movie we need right now. |
| 154545 | Laura Clifford | Reeling Reviews | Fresh | B- | 2026-06-10T14:44:59.000Z | 2026-06-10 14:44:59 | while 'Grimsburg' writers Christina Friel & Connor Wright never reach the comedic heights achieved by "Airplane!'s" Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker, director Adam Shankman and his fabulous cast deliver good-natured goofery |
| 154546 | Edward Douglas | The Weekend Warrior (Substack) | Fresh | 7/10 | 2026-06-10T09:48:55.000Z | 2026-06-10 09:48:55 | A loving tribute to the Zucker Brothers, it doesn't always work, but it has an impressive ability to blend many different forms of comedy into a movie that goes all out to make one laugh. (Video Review) |
| 154547 | Jeanne Kaplan | Kaplan vs. Kaplan | Fresh | — | 2026-06-10T05:08:50.000Z | 2026-06-10 05:08:50 | STOP! THAT! TRAIN! is purposefully being released during Pride month "to bring people together and celebrate just being who you are --- gay or straight." It’s a wonderful sentiment for a film that is truly joyful! |
| 154548 | David Kaplan | Kaplan vs. Kaplan | Fresh | — | 2026-06-10T05:07:15.000Z | 2026-06-10 05:07:15 | STOP! THAT! TRAIN! begs for at least a second viewing because the jokes come in rapid fashion. |

| 148523 | Kyle Turner | Slant Magazine | Fresh | 3/4 | 2026-06-08T12:32:38Z | 2026-06-08 12:32:38 | Stop! That! Train! handles the dumbest things with just the right amount of seriousness, and it’s more than self-aware of its own silliness. |
| 148524 | EJ Moreno | Flickering Myth | Fresh | — | 2026-06-08T04:32:41Z | 2026-06-08 04:32:41 | The perfect movie for Drag Race fans. Stupid, absurd, and impossible to resist. |

| 138500 | David Rooney | The Hollywood Reporter | Fresh | — | 2026-06-02T00:27:10Z | 2026-06-02 00:27:10 | The heart of this action-comedy that’s really a high-concept girlfriend movie is Ginger Minj and Jujubee, their characterizations in perfect sync, their rapport endearing and their triumph-of-the-underdog arc something worth rooting for. |
