3.5/5
[Director] Price keeps the humor believably shallow and the movie from getting too far from the aim of chronicling an exclusivity junkie's fall. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Cinematical Jul 19, 2008
Conjuring up memories of happier experiences gone by is the prime means of enduring such across-the-board ineptitude. Go to Full Review Nathan Lee New York Times Jul 18, 2008
3/5
A mockumentary about the people who run Manhattan nightlife, has solid-gold satire at its cocaine-stained fingertips. Go to Full Review Brent Simon FilmStew.com Sep 23, 2008
Despite the fact that The Doorman features dozens of cameos by real-life boldface names, the film itself is a mess. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Jul 21, 2008
"Inane" would be the kindest description of The Doorman. Go to Full Review Edward Douglas ComingSoon.net Jul 20, 2008
3/10
The influences for this poorly-made mock documentary are fairly obvious and if Lucas Akoskin was even 1/10th as funny as Sacha Baron Cohen, this movie might have worked. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jul 22, 2008 Love this movie. It's a first for my cousin the director and he has done a fantastic job - I'm so proud. very funny - I totally get his humor. See more Jun 24, 2008 mockumentary perfection. excellent performance from lucas akoskin! he doesn't fall into the trap of ever making trevor w. a one-dimensional character for easy laughs. ridiculous(ly amazing)! See more Dec 2, 2007 The film starts out well with lots of funny moments in the first couple of minutes, but unfortunately the laughs stop as the jokes become slower, duller and more repetitive versions of those in films like Zoolander and Borat. See more Oct 16, 2007 ok but without thrills. the best part was to shake the hand of the doorman himself afterwards:0 See more Read all reviews
