The idea that a Chinese family including young children would've been sent out into the rain to use a public payphone from a 1995 London hotel is unbelievable and conceitedly unrealistic garbage. As that was the opener I stopped watching and according to other reviews correctly assumed the rest of the film would be garbage too.

White Van Man
(2011–2012)
Quality sitcom teetering on the verge between mainstream and surrealist experimentation
23 March 2012
This show has standard ingredients and actors (measured by their credentials thus far) but some how transcends the specifics of its parts. By mutual agreement, the cast and production crew have created something with love and it shows. All on screen are well suited to the piece, they mesh well in the unbelievable yet credible plot strands and whilst the laid back soundtrack comfortably surrounds their antics, the overall effect is that of watching a cast enjoying the joke as each episode blossoms under their collective care. Of particular mention is Naomi Bentley who is entirely smoking - this may be my only subjective opinion on the work. Overall it's lovely. Peace x
