All his life, Dan Landsman (Jack Black) has never been the cool guy. Thats about to change - if he can convince Oliver Lawless (Marsden), the most popular guy from his high school whos 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. Showcasing Jack Black and James Marsdens most outrageous performances to date, THE D TRAIN serves up the question: how far would you go to be popular? Co-starring Kathryn Hahn and Jeffrey Tambor.
Dan Landsman is the self-appointed chair of the twenty year reunion committee of his class graduation from Grant Barklidge High School in Pittsburgh, where he still lives with his wife, the former Stacey Polster, who graduated in the same class. He tries to control everything about the reunion to appear the big, successful man that he was not but so wanted to be in high school. To furthest bolster himself, he, to his former classmates, refers to himself as "cool" nicknames he gave himself, as no one else would or does. His high school experience clouds the way he parents his and Staceys fourteen year old son, Zach Landsman, who needs some male parental guidance as he contemplates entering the dating and sexual world. Dans current actions and how he was in high school irks the other committee members, who still shun him behind his back. As the response rate by their classmates to attend the reunion is less than overwhelming, Dan believes he can be the toast of the class if he can convince who was arguably the most popular person in their class, Oliver Lawless, now a Hollywood actor, to attend the reunion, Dan who likes to think that they were friends in high school which is the farthest thing from the truth. Even if Dan can find and meet with Oliver, convincing him may be difficult as he is probably too cool a person to partake in things like high school reunions. Dans actions to persuade Oliver to attend the reunion turns to a full on obsession with the occurrence of a specific incident. That obsession will affect Dans job and his relationship with his boss, Bill Shurmur, who is still stuck in the pre-computer age, Dans relationship with Stacey and Zach, Dans thoughts about the reunion and his friendships especially with the other committee members, and Dans own opinions about what he thinks he wants in life.
