James Van Der Beek interview

What has James Van Der Beek been doing since his days as the Dawson's Creek teen heartthrob? High-minded nonsense with a layer of ridiculous on top, the star reveals.

When Harry (Rio Chambers), an ordinary schoolboy genius from Milton Keynes, creates Honc - an app that allows geeks like him to talk to girls - he attracts the attention of overly sincere, kimono-wearing tool Trent Zebrisky (James Van Der Beek), a billionaire businessman who scoops up the idea for £10m. But will it change them? Most certainly, if Mum Liz (Kerry Godliman) has anything to do with it. Well-meaning family fare in need of a few belly laughs.
