Van Helsing
Some things in this life work best when lubricated. Your car’s engine: lubricated with Pennzoil. Sex after 50: lubricated with KY. Van Helsing: lubricated with Jack Daniel’s. In the doldrums of sobriety there is no way you could possibly enjoy Van Helsing. The plot is ridiculous, the dialogue is worse, and the acting borders on what you’d find in student film. But… loosen up… toss back a few cold ones… and Van Helsing will simply make your day!

Example: Were you sober, it might bother you that Dracula’s minions look like Jawas with gasmasks. But, in a... shall we say… “more relaxed” state, you will be delighted to shout “Houtini!” whenever one gets burnt to a crisp.

When properly lubricated, Van Helsing is the best bad movie I have seen in a very long time.

RATING: R
