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

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

Top Critic"Inane" would be the kindest description of The Doorman.
07/21/08
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
Conjuring up memories of happier experiences gone by is the prime means of enduring such across-the-board ineptitude.
07/19/08
Slip this mockumentary into the “Not Worthy of Theatrical Release” file.
07/18/08
A mockumentary about the people who run Manhattan nightlife, has solid-gold satire at its cocaine-stained fingertips.
07/18/08
Top CriticWith 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
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
Top CriticA brightly observant comedy of jet-set manners.
07/17/08
Jesus, Bruno is so going to blow this guy out of the water.
07/17/08
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 CriticExclusionary 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
"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
Those of us in the movie audience may find little to cheer in a vehicle that falls short of entertainment.
06/04/08
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 CriticWayne Price's hilarious The Doorman is pure Fabio does Borat.
