Review of The Van

The Van (1996)
5/10
Colm Meaney's Acting Savcs A Mediocre Script
14 January 2024
Ok you take away the great acting of Colm Meaney and it's a very average film. It's got a load of cliches in it. Stereotypes.

The humour is a bit bland and there's not many punchline jokes. They get into fights over misinterpretations of basic industry standards which is something I can't comprehend.

Now hygiene and food safety standards are rigorous. This movie seems to ignore everything to do with that. If this was real life people would end-up walking away with food-poisoning.

It's just a very silly movie and even a Hollywood a-lister can't quite save the script. I'm a huge fan of Colm Meaney; especially as I grew up on Star Trek.

The acting of the other characters is ok to solid to absolutely dire. It doesn't help that the script is so cringey and dated now.

There's just far too many stereotypes and childish acting with silly jokes included. It's like something invented in a pub whilst consuming too many Irish Dry Stouts.

Fun brainless popcorn tv with a bit of charm yes but not the most interesting or exciting or enticing movie and a very tired and dated script.
