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

 3.5/5 |
[Director] Price keeps the humor believably shallow and the movie from getting too far from the aim of chronicling an exclusivity junkie's fall. Full Review |

"Inane" would be the kindest description of The Doorman. Full Review |

|
3/10 |
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. Full Review |

Conjuring up memories of happier experiences gone by is the prime means of enduring such across-the-board ineptitude. Full Review |

|
1.5/5 |
Slip this mockumentary into the “Not Worthy of Theatrical Release” file. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A mockumentary about the people who run Manhattan nightlife, has solid-gold satire at its cocaine-stained fingertips. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Built on an amusing idea that can't quite support an entire movie, Wayne Price's comedic debut might have made a terrific short. Full Review |
||
|
8/10 |
A brightly observant comedy of jet-set manners. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
Jesus, Bruno is so going to blow this guy out of the water. Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |
||
|
2/6 |
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. Full Review |

"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. Full Review |

Those of us in the movie audience may find little to cheer in a vehicle that falls short of entertainment. Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |

3/4 |
Wayne Price's hilarious The Doorman is pure Fabio does Borat. Full Review |
