[Director] Price keeps the humor believably shallow and the movie from getting too far from the aim of chronicling an exclusivity junkie's fall.

Rated: 3.5/5

Conjuring up memories of happier experiences gone by is the prime means of enduring such across-the-board ineptitude.

Despite the fact that The Doorman features dozens of cameos by real-life boldface names, the film itself is a mess.

"Inane" would be the kindest description of The Doorman.

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.

Rated: 3/10

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.
