Common Sense Note

Parents need to know the The D Train is a mature dramedy starring Jack Black and James Marsden that has a heavy emphasis on sex. The key conflict comes when a seemingly happily married man is seduced by a bisexual acquaintance and later has trouble coming to terms with their unexpected encounter. That leads to lies, which build into bigger lies, and soon he's buckling under the strain of maintaining a huge deception. There's also a lot of drinking, smoking, and drugs, as well as plenty of swearing ("s--t," "f--k," and more) and a few sex scenes, including the one between the two men and another energetic one between the married man and his wife. Nudity includes quick glimpses of bare bottoms and breasts. This is definitely a film for grown-ups and older teens.
