Review For The Do-Deca-Pentathlon
So much of this oddly named but perfectly played dramedy feels real, from the revisits to VHS tapes in parents' basements to the way a family member's glance can trigger fight-or-flight responses.Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
The performances, especially by Zissis and Lafleur, are effectively low-key, making their characters' occasional emotional outburst all the more compelling.
Leah Rozen-The Wrap
There's a joke here, obviously, in the spectacle of two out-of-shape adults making fools of themselves at sporting events. Unfortunately it's the only joke, and it eventually wears thin.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
A decent idea for an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The Do-Deca-Pentathlon" falls short as a movie.
Kyle Smith-New York Post
"Do-Deca" can't always overcome the sensation that this is as much a no-budget as it is a no-holds-barred affair. But the sardonic slights and crafty insights are steadily there.
Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times
If it were any shorter, it would lack depth. If it were any longer, it would most likely seem a strain. As is, there's an emotional honesty here that registers quickly and often.
John Hartl-Seattle Times
The Do-Deca-Pentathlon doesn't quite possess enough plot or substance to wholeheartedly warrant the full-length-feature treatment.
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
You've seen overgrown man child characters in plenty of Will Ferrell movies, but The Do-Deca Pentathlon is funny without playing for laughs.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com
The picture is strangely anticlimactic, despite highlighting numerous sporting events and a toxic domestic atmosphere, content to leisurely resolve discontent that feels like it deserves a more forceful approach.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
The story girding Do-Deca - though intriguing - doesn't feel as well-developed as previous Duplass scripts. As a result, it never quite resonates, style be darned.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
The wisest choice of all is to cast talented unknown actors, who make these characters and the absurd goings-on feel that much more real--and hence all the more funny.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com
I think the film gets better as it wears on, as the characters finally start to feel more relaxed and natural, and by the end, I bought the sentiment it reaches for.
Drew McWeeny-HitFix
A lot of fun as a comedy of men behaving badly, the Duplass brothers' film also digs into masculine norms and methods of communication and respect with a lot of recognizable truth.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com
The film is just 76 minutes long, but I left the theater feeling nourished and satisfied.
Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks
The Duplasses know how to put a small film like this together with soothing ease, and they never tax the audience with contrivances or excess baggage.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian
Even though their films maintain an improvised feel, none of the sequences linger; once they make their dramatic point, the next one starts. Couple that efficiency with the movie's short running time, and you've got a small, simple, and successful indie.
Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide
Although it assumes a light, inoffensive tone, Do Deca is unquestionably the brothers' most personal film by virtue of its antiheroes, a pair of warring siblings seemingly inspired by the directors themselves.
Eric Kohn-indieWIRE
You get the sense that the Duplass brothers know in their hearts that their characters are hopelessly immature. But you also get the sense that the filmmakers understand their characters in a way that probably makes even them uncomfortable.
Tim Grierson-IFC.com
This movie understands the way a friendly contest can turn deadly serious, the way something trivial suddenly takes on life-changing importance.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
The film overall feels like a series of cheesy home-video outtakes.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
The balance of comedy and drama here is just right, and The Do-Deca-Pentathlon never runs out of steam, heart, or laughs.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media
The brothers' bickering can be amusing at times but even at 76 minutes, the movie feels repetitive and overly long.
