Despite the fact that The Doorman features dozens of cameos by real-life boldface names, the film itself is a mess.

Reviews for The Doorman
1 - 17 (sorted by rotten rating)
"The Doorman" is a thinly written indie comedy--it's only 79 minutes long--that will have you kicking yourself for wasting whatever time and money you spent to watch it.
07/14/08
"Inane" would be the kindest description of The Doorman.
07/21/08
It's not enough to have an English-language-mangling actor bumble improvisationally among real people: You need structure, and situations crafted enough to escalate mild amusement toward hilarity.
06/03/08
Top CriticJesus, Bruno is so going to blow this guy out of the water.
07/17/08
The influences for this poorly-made mock documentary are fairly obvious and if Lucas Akoskin was even 1/10th as funny as Sacha Baron Cohen, this movie might have worked.
07/20/08
Built on an amusing idea that can't quite support an entire movie, Wayne Price's comedic debut might have made a terrific short.
07/18/08
Those of us in the movie audience may find little to cheer in a vehicle that falls short of entertainment.
06/04/08
Slip this mockumentary into the “Not Worthy of Theatrical Release” file.
07/18/08
Exclusionary velvet-rope culture cant be satirized enough, but woe be to secondhand Sacha Baron Cohens who dont seem clear on the concept of mockumentary.
07/16/08
With such an unconvincing center, all the air-kissing and second-hand glamour in the world can't make the film's mock-doc conceit hold.
07/18/08
Not until the goofy closing credits does the film hit its tonal stride and nail what could have been its saving, salient theme: the absurd lines that fancy people draw (and obey) to make themselves feel special on a Saturday night.
07/16/08
Top CriticConjuring up memories of happier experiences gone by is the prime means of enduring such across-the-board ineptitude.
07/19/08
A brightly observant comedy of jet-set manners.
07/17/08
A mockumentary about the people who run Manhattan nightlife, has solid-gold satire at its cocaine-stained fingertips.
07/18/08
[Director] Price keeps the humor believably shallow and the movie from getting too far from the aim of chronicling an exclusivity junkie's fall.
09/12/08
Top CriticWayne Price's hilarious The Doorman is pure Fabio does Borat.
