Reviews on Rotten Tomatoes:

1) “The last act of The D Train becomes a hilarious, deeply weird, and ultimately touching medley of delusion, humiliation, and friendship,” wrote Bilge Ebiri from New York Magazine.

2) “For long stretches, "The D Train" serves as a commodious vehicle for Mr. Black, who, like the best comic performers, never seems remotely concerned about going too big or risking the audience's love,” wrote Manohla Dargis from The New York Times.

3) “While it dwells in a much darker realm than American humor generally ventures into, what it uncovers is worth a stare. Maybe even a shudder,” wrote John Anderson from Wall Street Journal.

4) “A bromantic comedy with a sharp edge of melancholy, this indie casts Jack Black and James Marsden in the sort of parts they play frequently, then pushes them toward pathos,” wrote Colin Covert from Minneapolis Star Tribune.

5) “It should be obvious by now that Black is much more than a funny fellow. This is a good actor with a particular strength at playing protected, disturbed personalities - secretly angry people trying with all their might to be something they're not,” wrote Mick LaSalle from San Francisco Chronicle.
