The Do-Deca-Pentathlon Reviews
indieWire
Eric Kohn
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.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
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.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Although very funny, this film taps into a primal male competitiveness whose force outweighs reason and common sense.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Even as small movies go, it's tiny, with a budget to match. But it's got a big heart.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A decent idea for an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The Do-Deca-Pentathlon" falls short as a movie.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
"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.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
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.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
Do-Deca-Pentathlon showcases the deft way with interpersonal relationships that's making the Duplasses two of our premier chroniclers of just why it is that we can never seem to get along.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Its insights are modest, but modesty is a virtue for a low-key comedy this doggedly unpretentious.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
These movie guys specialize in snapping vignettes of human inconsistency - no fancy lighting required.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You begin the film thinking you have a pretty good idea where it's going, and you find out not even Jeremy and Mark really know.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The brothers' bickering can be amusing at times but even at 76 minutes, the movie feels repetitive and overly long.
Film Comment Magazine
Dan Sullivan
But if Cyrus succeeded as a marriage of established (that is to say, bankable) Hollywood performers and the already codified mumblecore aesthetic, The Do-Deca-Pentathlon comes off as pointless retread.

Leonard Maltin
The film is just 76 minutes long, but I left the theater feeling nourished and satisfied.
TheWrap
Leah Rozen
The performances, especially by Zissis and Lafleur, are effectively low-key, making their characters' occasional emotional outburst all the more compelling.
IFC.com
Tim Grierson
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.
DVDTalk.com
Jason Bailey
It's a film of great humor and truth, and what the hell, most comedies overstay their welcome these days anyway.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
Do-Deca is a stripped-down examination of male relationships and identity crisis. It's as if someone picked up a bromance and shook the dumb bits out.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The cast begins in that mumblecore mode of quietly overreacting to everything, but once the testosterone starts oozing, the characters jump out into four substantial dimensions.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
In Jay and Mark Duplass's film, the fragile middle-aged male ego is indulged, massaged, and, finally, critiqued.
