"The D Train" may be a scant and rather unconvincing comedy, but it deserves credit for taking a risk.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Rotten
Nothing about "The D Train" feels the least bit authentic, and worse, little about it is funny. That's a deadly recipe for a dark comedy.
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
The last act of The D Train becomes a hilarious, deeply weird, and ultimately touching medley of delusion, humiliation, and friendship.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
The movie flirts with a great darkness about disillusionment and self-loathing even as it races around spinning comedic plates. Too bad the filmmakers lose their nerve by film's end.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
