The D Train is a 2015 American comedy-drama film directed and co-written by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul. It stars Jack Black, James Marsden, Kathryn Hahn, and Jeffrey Tambor. The film follows Dan Landsman (Jack Black), a middle-aged man and head of his high school reunion committee, who decides to convince Oliver Lawless (James Marsden), the most popular guy from his graduating class who has become an actor in Los Angeles, to attend the reunion in order to boost attendance. Dan sees this as an opportunity to finally become popular and earn the respect of his former classmates.

Despite his initial reluctance, Dan convinces his boss to let him travel to LA to meet with Oliver. The two have a wild night out, and after getting drunk and smoking weed, they end up having sex. The encounter leaves Dan questioning his own sexuality and feeling more confused than ever about his place in the world.

When Oliver fails to show up for the reunion, Dan's reputation takes a hit, and he becomes a laughing stock among his former classmates. His wife, Stacey (Kathryn Hahn), is also disappointed in him, and Dan must come to terms with his mistakes and rebuild his relationships.

The D Train is a dark comedy that deals with themes of identity, sexuality, and personal growth. It is a film that challenges the audience to confront their own prejudices and stereotypes and to question the nature of popularity and acceptance.

The performances in the film are outstanding, particularly Jack Black's portrayal of Dan Landsman, who is both hilarious and sympathetic. James Marsden also shines as the enigmatic Oliver Lawless, and Kathryn Hahn is delightful as Dan's wife. The supporting cast is also strong and helps to flesh out the film's world.

The humor in the film is often cringe-worthy and uncomfortable, but it is also intelligent and thought-provoking. The script is sharp and witty, and the direction is competent and effective. The soundtrack features a mix of classic '80s and '90s hits, which adds to the film's nostalgic tone.

Overall, The D Train is a unique and entertaining film that explores complex themes with humor and sensitivity. It is well-crafted and well-acted, and it is definitely worth a watch for anyone who enjoys dark comedies and character-driven dramas.
