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.

Train! passable enough but it’s hard to shake the feeling that RuPaul and her dynasty of queens deserved a sharper, sturdier vehicle than this. |
| 247447 | Tara Brady | Irish Times | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2026-08-20T17:21:57.000Z | 2026-08-20 17:21:57 | The performers keep this peculiar train moving. Its flimsy, good-natured comedy succeeds as a feature-length drag-acting challenge. |
| 247448 | Calum Cooper | Flick Feast | Rotten | 2/5 | 2026-08-19T16:32:59.000Z | 2026-08-19 16:32:59 | It endeavours to pay tribute to spoof pictures of old, but the end results are obnoxious and garish. Whatever the price to board, it’s worth more to get off and walk. |
| 247449 | Alistair Harkness | Scotsman | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-08-18T18:42:01.000Z | 2026-08-18 18:42:01 | It’s all a lot of campy, zany nonsense, dated in places, sharp in others. |
| 247450 | Larushka Ivan-Zadeh | Time Out | Fresh | 4/5 | 2026-08-18T17:14:41.000Z | 2026-08-18 17:14:41 | First rule of film criticism is beware of movies bearing exclamation marks. Let alone those brandishing a triple threat. So I am flabbergasted to report that: You! Must! Watch! This! |
| 247451 | Victoria Luxford | Clash Magazine | Fresh | 6/10 | 2026-08-18T16:09:36.000Z | 2026-08-18 16:09:36 | Playing out like a modern, camp cousin to the Airplane movies, the film seems determined to prove that Queer cinema doesn’t always have to have a message....perhaps the film simply existing joyously is the true message. |
| 247452 | Jack Martin | Film Feeder | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-08-18T10:37:30.000Z | 2026-08-18 10:37:30 | It’s hard to deny that Stop! That! Train! is a good bit of silly fun for anyone that misses the classic ZAZ style of all-out comedy that Shankman, for all his lack of ambition, does well enough to emulate. |
| 247453 | Deniz Arslan | Battle Royale With Cheese | Fresh | 6/10 | 2026-08-16T15:37:41.000Z | 2026-08-16 15:37:41 | A shamelessly cheap, proudly ridiculous riff on Airplane! powered by RuPaul’s Drag Race queens, bizarre celebrity cameos, and nonstop nonsense that honestly shouldn’t work—but somehow left me grinning from start to finish. |
| 247454 | Leigh Paatsch | Daily Telegraph (Australia) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-08-14T23:12:57.000Z | 2026-08-14 23:12:57 | Of course, the end results are as hit-or-miss as the best (and worst) of the spoof-movie genre, but this one keeps moving an energy and enthusiasm that never flags. |
| 247455 | Cris Kennedy | Inner East Review | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-08-14T19:47:01.000Z | 2026-08-14 19:47:01 | Adam Shankman invests in building a believably silly world for this cast of players to play in. |

| 207184 | Lauren Coates | Los Angeles Blade | Fresh | — | 2026-07-24T22:43:01.000Z | 2026-07-24 22:43:01 | Camp, queer, and utterly stupid, this flick is an instant classic that gives RuPaul her long-overdue star turn on the silver screen. |
| 196670 | Dino-Ray Ramos | DIASPORA | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-07-15T20:42:05.000Z | 2026-07-15 20:42:05 | In the spirit of films like Airplane!, Top Secret!, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka!, The Naked Gun, and other skewered cinema, Stop! That! Train! brings the disaster movie parody to a new level of enlightened absurdity and celebratory queerness. |
| 183969 | Kimber Myers | Crooked Marquee | Rotten | D+ | 2026-07-11T21:06:06.000Z | 2026-07-11 21:06:06 | ... It’s so great to see queer joy on screen without an ounce of seriousness in a time that is tough for the community, but I just wish the movie itself had evoked more of that emotion in the audience. |
| 183473 | Alec Karam | Chicago Reader | Fresh | — | 2026-07-01T16:36:15.000Z | 2026-07-01 16:36:15 | It remembers that the most important thing a comedy can be is funny, that sometimes all a film needs to succeed is to make you smile. |
| 183474 | Rene Sanchez | Cine Sin Fronteras | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2026-06-29T06:37:38.000Z | 2026-06-29 06:37:38 | A camp spectacle that celebrates drag with a delightfully absurd sense of humor. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 183475 | Carla Renata | The Curvy Film Critic | Fresh | — | 2026-06-29T04:46:33.000Z | 2026-06-29 04:46:33 | It's fluffy, frolicky fun that provides laughter during a time in our history where queer and trans rights are consistently under attack. We all need a good laugh right about now and Stop!That!Train! is more than happy to oblige. |
| 183476 | Sean P. Means | The Movie Cricket | Rotten | 2.5/4 | 2026-06-29T04:18:48.000Z | 2026-06-29 04:18:48 | "Airplane!" worked so well because the stars behaved as if everything they said was deadly serious, and the cast here leans too far into the camp. |
| 183081 | Sarah Vincent | Sarah G Vincent Views | Fresh | — | 2026-06-25T16:06:05.000Z | 2026-06-25 16:06:05 | While a terrific ensemble cast gives their all, this movie runs out of laughing gas before reaching the station. |
| 183082 | Nicholas Bell | Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-06-24T16:48:19.000Z | 2026-06-24 16:48:19 | Recycling the disaster spoof formula or Airplane!, Stop! That! Train! is perhaps the most adept use of WOW's machine, plundering its stable of Drag personas for a ludicrous and goofy joy ride. |
| 183083 | John Paul King | Washington Blade | Fresh | — | 2026-06-22T22:02:42.000Z | 2026-06-22 22:02:42 | For the rest of us, even if more of its jokes fall flat than we might hope and some of the zingers don’t have the “zing” that they should, there’s still a cumulative effect that leaves the impression of a whole being greater than its parts. |
| 182475 | Paul McGuire Grimes | Paul's Trip to the Movies | Fresh | 3/5 | 2026-06-19T15:08:41.000Z | 2026-06-19 15:08:41 | RuPaul and the queens are having fun, and there’s just enough laughs to make this an easy, breezy good time. |

In fact, this film might be the result of Airplane! and Hairspray having a baby. |
| 177875 | Hayley Croke | Loud and Clear Reviews | Fresh | 4.5/5 | 2026-06-16T16:41:43.000Z | 2026-06-16 16:41:43 | The funniest movie you will see this year. |

| 174356 | Glen Weldon | Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) | Fresh | — | 2026-06-15T19:08:24.000Z | 2026-06-15 19:08:24 | This movie is Airplane. Dumb jokes, celebrity cameos, and real talk, a lot of the very same gags. We got, let's be honest, a lot of the very same jokes. But it's Airplane. It was nothing but the Johnny bits, and that is a winning formula for me. |
| 171254 | Mark Dujsik | Mark Reviews Movies | Fresh | 3/4 | 2026-06-15T03:30:00.000Z | 2026-06-15 03:30:00 | It's a legitimately funny parody that stands on its own. |

| 163489 | Gary M. Kramer | Gay City News | Fresh | — | 2026-06-13T11:01:55.000Z | 2026-06-13 11:01:55 | [A]n inspired bit of lunacy.... Both witty and silly, this campy film provides a diverting 90 minutes. |

| 163477 | Thelma Adams | AARP Movies for Grownups | Fresh | — | 2026-06-12T23:11:47.000Z | 2026-06-12 23:11:47 | This campy comedy giddily gallops along for a summer thrill ride. |
| 163478 | Coleman Spilde | Salon.com | Fresh | — | 2026-06-12T23:10:59.000Z | 2026-06-12 23:10:59 | With a healthy dose of RuPaul’s signature wit and enough drag queen-friendly lighting to combat Hollywood’s run of dimly lit features, the team revives the disaster spoof with stylish aplomb. |
| 163469 | William Bibbiani | TheWrap | Rotten | — | 2026-06-12T21:57:26.000Z | 2026-06-12 21:57:26 | Some cheap, stupid comedies are funny enough to get away with it, and 'Stop! That! Train!' isn’t one of them. |
| 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. |

| 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |
