Is it really a comedy? Cause it didn't feel it.

The movie doesn't suck that much. It's still watchable (cause it's Drew Barrymore, or course), but I'm not really satisfied with it. I thought the genre is comedy, but after I've watched the whole movie, it didn't feel like a comedy. It's more like a drama / thriller. The part where the stand-in started doing illegal stuff, it gave me a mild chilling vibe. It can easily turn into a thriller movie. As a comedy it gave me zero out of 10 stars. As a thriller it gave me 3 out of 10 stars. The only reason I gave it 5 stars is Drew. Actually, she's the only reason I decided to watch this movie.
