so, i thought the d train was amazing. when the climactic confrontation between black and marsden happens at the reunion, it’s one of the deepest, darkest nadir' s i' ve seen a character reach. d train is, by far, the most cringe - inducing movie i’ve seen since... young adult probably. and that was a major cringe .

if we view the ending in this way, the d train becomes a film about being unable to accept the truth about yourself and your actions, that there are people in the world who will lie to themselves about who they are because it’s the only way they can cope with their life. which makes the d train a companion film to charlize theron’s young adult, where theron continues to delude herself that she is a better person than everyone around her because she was popular in high school .

much of the joy of “the d train” lies in watching black’s dan try to extricate himself from a tar - ball of lies, and the harder he tries to solve his problems, the more new ones he creates. there’s not much to praise about “the d train” technically, even as editor terel gibson manages the impressive feat of juggling reality and possible hallucinations in the film’s final act. the production design by ethan tobman also helps the film — lawless’ apartment, for example, is exactly as awful as you would hope; the office where dan works is also a perfect piece of middle american design, the ’90s trapped in futility like amber .
there’s a shocking twist in the d train that’s impossible to discuss without ruining the film’s impact. so, keep that in mind when you’re reading ahead. now that we’ve settled that business, let’s start dissecting what will undoubtedly be the most provocative and polarizing comedy to hit theaters in the months ahead .

in the end, the d train succumbs to a failure of nerve, trotting out the same cosy reassurances about hearth and home the rest of the film so mischievously needles: perhaps a bolder draft of the film once existed, and this is it with the edges sanded off. jack black getting the girl is no big deal. but jack black getting the guy? now that would have been something .

written and directed by andrew mogel and jarrad paul, “the d train” starts out looking like a fairly standard - issue comedy of midlife crisis: suburban pittsburgh resident dan landsman (jack black) jumps, with more certainty than one would think, to the conclusion that the best way to make more of his old classmates sign up for the upcoming reunion is to make sure that coolest - kid - in - school oliver lawless (james marsden) goes to the reunion as well. but when dan’s convinced his masterstroke of social engineering will — and must! — work, that’s when “the d train” goes along a very different set of tracks than you might think .
there’ve been films that have found comedy and satire in the high school reunion, from “romy and michelle’s high school reunion” to “grosse point blank” and many more. “the d train” succeeds because it isn’t just a reunion; it’s reaching out to improve an unchangeable past and to set a course for an unknown future, like gatsby entranced by the green light on the dock, if gatsby were jack black and the green light was a dj playing quarterflash’s “harden my heart. ” with superb, nuanced comedy performances from both white and marsden, “the d train” is a great, out - of - left - field star vehicle with tough laughs and real regret in it .

the d train fundamentally fails as black comedy because, apart from its central, moderately homophobic twist, it has nothing to offer except for a stereotypical bromedy plot (the nerd and the hollywood star !) and a series of tedious homilies. (be yourself! popularity isn’t everything !) unlike, say, the king of comedy —another film about an intolerably narcissistic loser—it has no larger social context or commentary. its out - of - left - field twist remains just that; the movie makes no effort to mine it for any deeper meaning than a kind of low - grade gay panic. the d train isn’t smart enough to be dark; it’s merely disagreeable .

let’s just get the so - called spoiler out of the way: in the d train, oliver lawless, a badass d - list actor played by james marsden, fucks dan landsman, a small - town schmo played by jack black. the promotional material for this movie has avoided this element altogether, while many press reactions have dutifully treated it like a climactic, crying game - style jaw - dropper. the big moment is a tad startling, but it occurs around the beginning of act two, almost like a second inciting incident, and there’s really no way to fully unpack this film without laying it out on the table. without the sex, the d train is just another bromance. with it, it’s a groundbreaking inquiry for the post - bromance era, exploring the secret corners of male identity and relationships after a literal penetration that virtually every other film of its kind has only flirted with .

with light and moderately dark comic flourishes, a skipping, sometimes thudding heart and some careful lighting, “the d train” takes the bromance to its logical conclusion. even so, it plays it sweet rather than tough, including narratively, and there are instances — as in a close - up of dan, his face knotted up in jealousy as he watches oliver across a dance floor — when you see hints of a more dangerous, less comfortable movie. “the d train” acknowledges there can be more to all the usual sharing, caring and relentless joking than the reproduction of male power, but it isn’t going to upturn the status quo. the truth is that it’s pretty straight, including in its revelation that sometimes when a guy says “i love you, man, ” he really, really means it .
speaking of which, the film’s just as unforgiving as payne’s strongest works, leading to a conclusion that’s equal parts destructive and rejuvenating. but it finds a soft landing that’s actually quite enlightening and speaks to the strengths of its writers, whose willingness to heighten the levels of bromance up towards legitimate romance shifts the d train from being a star - studded indie - comedy into an accessible celluloid debate on society’s often expected barriers of sexuality .
you’d think he’d learn. but this year he seizes upon a far - fetched chance to finally turn the tables on his nemeses; chancing to see a tv suntan lotion commercial starring hunky former classmate oliver lawless (james marsden), dan figures that, if he can deliver this “star” to the reunion, he himself will at long last also become cool in the eyes of those who have so long disdained him .

this is where the d train pulls into the station. in most respects, writer - directors andrew mogel and jarrad paul’s raunchy cringe - comedy is a typically minor mid - september release. its stars, jack black and james marsden, are well - known, but not quite marquee names. and it’s funny enough to pass the time, but doesn’t have the comic extravagance of a film like the hangover – perhaps the most successful bromance to date – that would have turned it into a hit .
d - train centers on a middle america high school reunion committee chairman (black), still searching for high school acceptance, who has to do whatever it takes, including flying to los angeles to penetrate the world of celebrities, to get the most popular guy from high school - - now a failed actor working in commercials (marsden) - - to show up to their 20 - year reunion .

in the d train, black is putting together a high school reunion in hopes of erasing the loser tag that dogged him back then, and he tracks down a relationship with the most popular guy from the class, who’s a semi - celebrity. just as the bronze is distinguished by a gymnastic sex scene between melissa rauch and sebastian stan, this one had everybody buzzing about a comparable scene — between the two male leads. white, black, priyanka mattoo, ben latham - jones, dave bernad and barnaby thompson produced and paul and mogel wrote the script .
yes man screenwriters andrew mogel and jarrad paul, who make their directorial debut here, pieced together a very risky and original screenplay with the d train, which is what attracted an all - star cast that also includes jeffrey tambor, kathryn hahn, mike white, henry zebrowski, and kyle bornheimer. without spoiling too much, the two writers followed through on a literal bromance, tipping off all the crazy consequences that might come from such a chance encounter .
the “just world bias” plays into this. where we like to think the world we live in is a good one, and that most people are living happy lives. this gives us the plausible deniability that the bad things won’t happen to us. we tend to ignore the sinister energy beneath the surface of things: the weird and horrible truth that the happy world we see is more complicated, that people we know and love lie to us and to themselves about who they are, what they’ve done... when you think of the d train as capturing this aspect of the world... the ending seems far from lackluster. is, instead, pretty brilliant .
if the clinical situation is not emergent, whenever possible apply the electrodes to determine the best site of location by testing the train - of - four response and finding supramaximal stimulation level prior to nmba initiation. supramaximal stimulation is the level at which additional stimulation will not increase the intensity of the 4 twitches. it is a baseline for comparison and establishes what the adequate stimulating current is prior to nmba therapy .

there’s a short stretch of the film, right after dan’s trip to l. a. and the sex scene, but before oliver arrives for the reunion, when it starts to look as if dan is panicking because he thinks the reunion will be ruined if the other alumni find out oliver is gay. (at this point, his bisexuality hasn’t yet been established .) thankfully, the d train is not a wacky comedy about dan trying to hide oliver’s sexual orientation. but for the five - to - 10 minutes that it looks as if it might be headed that way: yikes .

so dan (jack black) hatches a plan. after spotting a popular former classmate, oliver lawless (james marsden), in a banana boat sunscreen commercial, he concludes that if he can persuade oliver to attend the reunion, it will make everyone in the class want to attend, and thus render dan a hero. the fact that this feeble premise does, in fact, come to fruition is among the smaller failures of the d train, a thin and painfully unfunny “dark” comedy by writer - directors jarrad paul and andrew mogul .

in most movie bromances, sexual desire skitters at the edge of the story, quivering like a man - child in a cathouse. the dudes in these movies tend to observe a ritualistic narrative proximity (they get close, but not too close) that’s echoed in the physical protocols of the typical bro - hug. in these familiar ceremonial interactions, the bros lean in toward each other for some upper - body contact even as they simultaneously maintain scrupulous, observable genital distance. once contact is made, the bro - huggers exchange two or three hearty back slaps and then uncouple. in the comedy “the d train, ” there’s no such retreat — only sweet, sweaty surrender .

when pressing the train - of - four button, the stimulus is sent as a group of 0. 2 - millisecond pulses (to avoid direct muscle stimulation or repetitive nerve stimulation going over the refractory period) in a square - wave pattern spaced 500 milliseconds apart. this is repeated every 10 seconds .
note the current (in ma) that corresponds to 4 vigorous twitches when the train - of - four stimuli button is pushed. if there is then no increase in the intensity of the 4 muscle twitches when the current is increased by 10 ma, the supramaximal stimulation is the level at which the previous 4 vigorous twitches were observed. for example, if 4 strong twitches are observed at 50 ma but when raised to 60 ma there is no further increase, the supramaximal stimulation is then 50 ma .
all his life, dan landsman has never been the cool guy. that’s about to change – if he can convince oliver lawless, the most popular guy from his high school who’s now the face of a national banana boat ad campaign, to show up with him to their class reunion. a man on a mission, dan travels from pittsburgh to la and spins a web of lies to recruit lawless. but he gets more than he bargains for as the unpredictable lawless proceeds to take over his home, career, and entire life. d train serves up the question: how far would you go to be popular ?

in the indie comedy the d train, jack black' s unpopular dan landsman, in the process of organizing his 20 - year high - school reunion, first stumbles across his popular former classmate oliver lawless (james marsden) in a sunscreen commercial that dan catches on tv late one night. dan rewinds and pauses the ad a couple of times and wakes up his wife and kids to see it. he then plays the commercial for them and even gets his son to help him record it on his phone. the spot leads dan to think that oliver' s made it and he sets off for l. a. to convince his celebrity classmate to attend the reunion with him .
brokered by uta and wme, the d train piqued bidders from its debut screening friday night. lionsgate and fox searchlight were two others in the mix as well as new companies like broad green and alchemy. it was a risky strategy to not close a deal right away — last night all the attention was on the rick fumiyawa - directed dope, which has bids at $ 7 million and a $ 15 million p & a commitment i hear to dwarf all other films, with five players in the mix — but these talks dragged out and a deal finally closed this morning. there’s some p & a in the deal also so it will play theatrically .
it may well be a sign of the rarity of such depictions that a simple make - out scene can generate as much i - can’t - believe - what - i’m - seeing laughter as it does; then again, for body - type reasons alone, marsden and black would probably make a pretty hilarious pairing under even the most liberated circumstances. yet while “the d train” scores points for taking risks, it’s not nearly as brave in terms of follow - through — and not just because the actual sex, shot in a few brief and blurry seconds, is treated as a cheap punchline .
“the d - train” also makes its points about the hypnotic light cast by even a small amount of glamor, and about how avidly we want to catch even its reflection. it’s there when dan is enthralled by oliver’s stupid sunscreen ad; it’s there when oliver tries to convince dan he knows dermot mulroney (playing himself with deft charm) at a hollywood club. it also makes it clear that everyone who reaches for that, to catch even a small part of it, is grasping for, at best, a poisoned chalice .
to decrease the current required to stimulate a nerve, the positive electrode is placed proximally and the negative toward the muscle terminus. the wires are connected to the nerve stimulator. the negative (black) and positive (red) leads are attached to the corresponding connection colors .
“the d train” isn’t the first comedy to coax laughs out of two ostensibly straight guys having sex, a situation more typically found in seriously unfunny prison movies. the 2009 indie movie “humpday, ” a sendup of the genre, circled the issue with two straight male friends who decide to make a pornographic movie with each other only to keep their penises in lockdown. that’s invariably the case in the typical bromances, of course, which feature delineated straight guys who engage in stereotypically, even hyperbolically coded male behavior: they play air guitar, drink to excess, become involved in street altercations and so forth. one of the best, “i love you, man, ” even mimics the classic heterosexual romantic coupling: boy meets boy; boy loses boy; boy gets boy, kind of .
the thing that threw me for a loop: d train’s abrupt conclusion. it takes about 90 minutes for black to melt down every relationship in his life—with his wife, his son, his work, what friends he might have had, and himself. then in the last 5 minutes he manages to repair the relationship with his wife, his son, his work, james marsden, and himself (and potentially his classmates). on top of this sudden reconciliation with everyone: we have shots of black in a park doing tai chi. tai chi! and doing it well !

the dark and sometimes funny the d train is a feel - bad comedy, in that one feels bad for what happens to every character in the film and bad for sometimes being taken to places that feel more implausible than just transgressive. after not getting the career bump he should have for his great performance in richard linklater ’s bernie four years ago, it’s good to see jack black front - and - center again playing a very strange man in a feature film. but his character is so harmful to so many people for no reason other than his own unfinished business from high school that it’s a legitimate impulse just to want to get away from the guy much sooner than the film permits. the talented cast and pervasive waywardness will appeal to some, but commercial prospects look limited .
on paper, it sounds like the stuff of a nervy, probing look at the straight male ego under the most unwelcome sort of siege, one that provocatively blurs the lines between friendship and attraction. in execution, however, the second half of “the d train” can be as frustrating as it is funny, flailing about in search of the right tone of dark absurdity (established in part by andrew dost’s synth score), but more often falling back on easy laughs and implausible, sitcomish formulations — including the matter of 14 - year - old zach’s own burgeoning sexual curiosity — that keep the material from going deeper. unsurprisingly in this maelstrom of male anxiety, hahn is good enough to make you wish she had more to play than just another wife and mother, called on to exhibit superhuman levels of patience and understanding by a far less emotionally competent spouse .

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. he’s a showboat if every so often, more of a steamroller, capable of flattening everyone and everything in his way. yet he is also adept at conveying emotional and psychological fragility, and there are some nice moments here when you see dan as confused by his feelings for oliver as a crushed - out 12 - year - old, which the filmmakers smartly don’t try to explain. instead, they show you what dan sees and in the process upend the old formulation (often attributed to raymond chandler about james bond) that while men want to be the handsome hero, it’s only the women who want to be with him .
a genial movie about how we live now or like to think that we do, “the d train” stars jack black as dan landsman, an outwardly ordinary joe who’s helping to plan his 20th high school reunion. his testy dealings with the other reunion committee members suggest that he was as unpopular in high school as he is now. he’s not a bad guy, but more of a fussbudgety blowhard who’s always trying too hard to be the big man, often through trivial means like scatting slang and being keeper of a reunion password. when he sees one of the school’s former golden boys, oliver lawless (a nimble, perfect james marsden), in a television commercial, dan decides to try to persuade him to come to the reunion .

moreover, the d train uses its male - on - male boundary - leaping to give the shopworn man - boy narrative a refresh. still living in his hometown of pittsburgh with wife stacy (kathryn hahn) and son zach (russell posner), dan is the self - appointed chairman of his high school’s alumni committee, which serves as both a perpetuation and a micro snapshot of his high school experience. dan’s peers still don’t like him, and they still forget the nicknames he strains to assign himself, which only stokes his fiery, undying need to be accepted. with the high school’s 20 - year reunion fast approaching, dan and company are manning the phones to get former classmates to attend, and when dan sees oliver, a fellow alum, in a banana boat commercial, he sees his hot, chiseled ticket to being the hero who draws the crowd. he keeps his family up watching the video on repeat, and relays his rabid enthusiasm to the committee members, who are skeptical, yet sold .

that would be oliver. the one student from high school who got out and, to his former fellow students, looks to have made good is actually a dissolute and infrequently employed pretty boy on the downswing. if he were successful, he’d have no time for the likes of dan. but he’s able to impress him by saying hi to dermot mulroney (in a cameo) at a nightclub and takes the bug - eyed dan on a whirlwind nocturnal tour of l. a. , even if it projects a rather antiquated notion of what’s hot in town — the strip, the roxy, the whiskey ?
the movie pivots on that l. a. visit and what transpires between dan and oliver. to spoil that surprise would deservedly earn me the wrath of filmgoers. let’s just say that dan and oliver share a moment of honesty and intimacy that dan has never known. and when oliver returns to pittsburgh for the reunion, dan’s emotional neediness comes crashing down on everyone in his life, especially on himself. marsden is stellar playing a star who never was, finding the weakness in this bisexual prettyboy who’s just beginning to wonder what will happen when his looks start to go. dan and oliver rep two different kinds of losers, and the filmmakers nail every nuance, comic and calamitous. black and marsden are both extraordinary. to say you’ve never seen either of them like this would be a gross understatement. ignore the haters, and give the hilarious and heartfelt d train a chance to work its magic.
