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.

Mark Kermode Observer (UK) There may be an interesting idea lurking in here somewhere, but any subversiveness is lost amid cod-indie gurning and comic bum notes. Rated: 2/5 Sep 20, 2015 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times We're not quite in Bobcat Goldthwait country, but we have pulled up into adjacent territory. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2015 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2015 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a briskly-paced endeavor that ultimately fares best in its fun, engaging opening and closing stretches... Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin This is a gloomy story of a disturbed person. Rated: C Jul 15, 2020 Full Review Dan Scully Cinema76 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.

Jack S Laughed out loud and cringed in equal measures. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Laura D It started of fun and typical loser guy trying to fit in. But, when the man on man took place I turned away and realized another attempt to normalize this. Didn't work. It ruined the rest of the movie for me. Why can't it be like old Hollywood and imply things. I don't need or want to see two men going at each other. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Shaun K I don't understand all the hate. This movie was funny as shit. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a hidden gem. Jack Black is challenged in a difficult character and he nails it perfectly. Great movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
