Adam Shankman’s Stop! That! Train! genuinely made me laugh, and I actually enjoyed watching it. That might not sound like a huge compliment, but it’s true – we haven’t seen many truly original, funny movies lately, except for the Naked Gun reboot. While RuPaul is involved, the film really feels like the work of its writers, Connor Wright and Christina Friel. It has a playful, offbeat humor that feels inspired by alternative queer comedy, rather than RuPaul’s usual style (though Wright did work on The Bitch Who Stole Christmas). It’s clear these writers are fans of things like Dicks: The Musical and the comedy duo John Early and Kate Berlant’s work on The Tonight Show.
