Dan’s desperate to prove himself somehow, and after he stumbles upon a sunscreen commercial starring class dreamboat Oliver Lawless (a winning, hunky James Marsden), Dan formulates an unlikely plan: He’ll fly to L.A. The movie begins oh so conventionally as Black plays dorky family man Dan, who’s tasked with chairing his high-school reunion committee even though he’s just as unpopular as a pushing-40 adult as he was as a teenager. More important, it’s a genuinely interesting twist that distinguishes The D Train from the movie you first think it’s going to be. It’s the sort of surprising sex scene that the trailer might leave out (for several reasons), but then again, it’s such a gotta-talk-about-it jolt that you’ll likely hear about what goes down long before the movie makes its way to the multiplex. The Sundance of Sex continued last night with Jack Black’s new comedy The D Train, and before I go any further, be aware that the movie’s central hookup could constitute a spoiler.
