Critic Reviews of "Please Stand By"
Hollywood ReporterJanuary 28, 2018Lewin can't quite transcend the inconsistencies and dwindling credibility of the concept or give the material a driving pulse, even with its race-to-the-deadline setup.
New York Magazine/VultureJanuary 26, 2018You can guess how most of its scenes will play before you even come to them, and it has a circumspect, sanitized quality, as if meant to be shown in group homes without causing undue upset.
New York ObserverJanuary 26, 2018Touches the viewer with the subtle emotional wallop of a feather brushing against the heart.
RogerEbert.comJanuary 26, 2018A sensitive character study whose story beats are a little bit overly familiar.
New York PostJanuary 25, 2018Lewin ... posits this as a whimsical road comedy, but I couldn't help questioning both the logic and the consistency.
NPRJanuary 25, 2018Please Stand By deflates into a perfectly watchable but soft parable in which a can-do young American loses a battle, only to win the war of growing up, while the adults in the room confront their own unhelpful rigidities.
CinemaBlend.comJanuary 27, 2018It's quirky but never cloying; creative but never over-the-top; and funny without sacrificing drama.
Los Angeles Daily NewsJanuary 26, 2018Yes, it's too cute by several parsecs, but it does boast Patton Oswalt playing a Klingon-speaking police officer.
Kaplan vs. KaplanJanuary 25, 2018"Please Stand By" will win no awards. But it is a sweet diversion.
Flick FilosopherJanuary 25, 2018A lovely, gentle geek adventure that appreciates the importance of fandom as a source of inspiration and comfort, with a subtle and resolutely unsentimental performance by Dakota Fanning as an autistic fan.
Reeling ReviewsJanuary 24, 2018Road movies are pretty common but "Please Stand By" makes the genre its own as we root for Wendy ever y step of her way.
