The D Train

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The D Train offers Jack Black a too-rare opportunity to showcase his range, but its story and characters are too sloppily conceived to hold together as a film.

There may be an interesting idea lurking in here somewhere, but any subversiveness is lost amid cod-indie gurning and comic bum notes. Go to Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times 09/18/2015

The central figure in The D Train (the title refers to the unearned nicknames that he constantly tries to award himself), Dan [as played by Jack Black] is a tragic monster. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 04/20/2023

This is a gloomy story of a disturbed person. Go to Full Review Dan Scully Cinema76 04/09/2020
The D Train is not a perfect film by any stretch, but it's an extremely bold take on a pretty standard story, done in a way that would not have been possible as recent as just a few years ago. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jordan S. @jswez Feb 28 Wouldn’t have started watching this if I knew where it was headed. Also, tried leaving many other descriptors, but Rotten veggies loves to censor. See more Marisa A @RT54481678 Jun 4 OMG. Esse filme, cheio de estrelas e atores mais ou menos conhecidos, é uma lástima. O que não se faz para ser popular? Infelizmente até os adultos entram nesse tipo de competição. O filme mostra o limite entre o bom senso e a estupidez e o Dan ultrapassa sem nem pensar. São tantos assuntos tratados no filme que poderia ser uma série. Todos os personagens são mal resolvidos ou frustrados. See more Shaun K @RT01847645 05/20/2023 I don't understand all the hate. This movie was funny as shit. See more 09/13/2022 This is a hidden gem. Jack Black is challenged in a difficult character and he nails it perfectly. Great movie See more 09/11/2021 Definitely one of my favorite Jack Black movies to date. If you're a huge JB fan like myself, than this movie and "Bernie" or two secret gems that will make it to the top of your Jack Black favorite movies list. Also really crazy to think that he didn't mind the scripts decision of letting another man give him anal sex. JB is awesome! See more 01/15/2020 I thought it was really good, definitely worth the watch. I am pretty biased towards Jack Black films though he is definitely one of my favorites See more Read all reviews
