Review of The D Train (2015) by Kristina K — 21 Feb 2016

Review:

I wasn't a big fan of this movie because I didn't find it that amusing and the storyline was ridiculous. Dan Landsman (Jack Black), goes way too far to try and get Oliver Lawless (James Marsden), to the High School reunion and the crazy goings on in Los Angeles, just didn't make any sense. If the director set out to make a comedy, he failed miserably because there wasn't any witty moments that I found funny at all. James Marsden wasn't bad but Jack Black got on my nerves after a while because he was doing stupid things all the way through the film, which I found quite silly and boring in parts. I can totally understand why the movie failed miserably at the box office and I'm surprised that Black and Marsden took on the project after reading the terrible script. Anyway, I think you can tell that I wasn't impressed with this film and I definitely expected more from Black and Marsden. Disappointing!

Round-Up:

With Goosebumps being a box office hit and Kung Fu Panda 3 due to be released soon, Jack Black, 46, can firmly put this poor movie behind him. Its the first movie written and directed by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul, which doesn't surprise me because they left out key elements, like a witty script, in this movie. .

Budget: £3million.

Worldwide Gross: $770,000 (Terrible!).

I recommend this movie to people who are into their drama/comedies starring Jack Black, James Marsden, Jeffrey Tambor and Kathry Hahn. 2/10.
