The train that never really arrives

The D-Train (2015)

Written as well as directed by Jarrad Paul & Andrew Mogel this film stars Jack Black, James Marsden and Kathryn Hahn. A man with no friends seeks to get the most popular kid in school to return for a reunion so his peers will respect him.

Starting off with a fairly decent premise the film never really gets to grips with the ideas of middle age regrets, loneliness or only seeing the highlights of the lives of others. It is disappointing because the film shows a lot of promise but ends up being another half baked comedy. Jack Black gives a good performance but Kathryn Hahn is wasted in a small supporting role.


3/5
