An unexpected surprise
This film tells the story of a man who enthusiastically organises a high school reunion, but unfortunately is not very popular. He becomes fixated on getting the most popular guy in high school to attend the high school reunion, but one lie after another, things get out of hand.
"The D Train" has an ambiguous title, and does not prepare me for the emotional drama that lie ahead. On the comedy side, the film is quite funny as Jack Black has to cover one lie with a bigger lie. His boss being technology illiterate is also quite funny.
I am very impressed by the dramatic side of this film, because jealousy is a hard emotion to portray on screen. The manifestations of a jealous heart is plain and well portrayed in here, making me care for Jack Black's character and his wife as well. James Marsden is very charming as the guy who is able to make anyone fall for him. He makes the story believable. I really enjoyed "The D Train", which is quite unexpected.
