I am part of a website www.scribophile.com that is for writers.
They have a great feature where people can submit there books for reviews in 3000 characters or less, in chapter forms.
Other writers on the site then give critique's, comments, and feedback.
Is there something similar for screenplays?
There are a couple of ways to approach it.
Build a network of people whose opinions you trust/value and have them read it.
You also have www.talentville.com and www.screenplayfest.com as well that allow you to post your work for public feedback from other amateur screenwriters.
You can also pay for professional "coverage" and it's a big business itself with basically just about everyone of varying validity offering their coverage services for pricing ranging between $49 to up to $500 or more.
Also if you want to get "eaten alive" (kind of a good experience to have at least a couple of times to have people basically tell you that you, your idea, etc. all suck. It helps grow the thick skin needed to survive this endeavor) you can post to the Reddit screenwriting subreddits and request a read. You can also post to the www.simplyscripts.com forum for reads/feedback.
I've posted snippets to www.indietalk.com and www.donedealpro.com forums with a request for feedback and gotten short but helpful responses.
Here as well has been a good experience.

You can post your screenplays here on your profile page. Network and build relationships by engaging in the Lounge. Share information and resources, share your thoughts and opinions, offer to help others, comment, etc. Many S32 members also exchange/share scripts via email. :)

yes, now there is hollywoodstandards.com. email me to us@hoolywoodstandards.com to get a free peer review.
I agree with Steve Talentville a waste of time and (I didn’t pay - so I think) money. I found some great feedback on Simplyscripts.net. You have to do research on who’s reading and reviewing but I got some of the best advice there (good and negative) from there once I drained the swamp of the imposters.
