I do not know if Kevin Smith made this film to mess with critics, the media, and fans. In my opinion, Yoga Hosers has very little story, with characters an audience cannot connect to, it isn't that funny, it's annoying, and I personally didn't get it. That being a story the audience can connect to and characters and audience can connect to. Most people, including myself love the art form of filmmaking and movies for two main reasons. At least that film had a story wrapped around in it. What I personally didn't enjoy was the pace of the film and the characters. The films plot was there and it sounded great. His last film Tusk, in my opinion was his worst film. He always seemed like a cool person, he is well spoken, writes scripts with compelling characters and story, and he seems like the kind of guy you could easily talk with. When I saw the trailer, my immediate instinct reaction was "What the f*ck?" It wasn't that what the f*ck with anger, it wasn't what the f*ck with confusion, it really was just a simple what the f*ck. Who work at a convenience store, and encounter Nazi sausages. Now for those who have not seen the trailer for this film, and are asking yourself "What the Hell are some Yoga Hosers?" The trailer focuses on the two Canadian girls from Smith's last film, Tusk. Now when I first saw the trailer to Kevin Smith's (Clerks, Dogma) Yoga Hosers I was a little surprised. With the lack of laughs this movie is pretty much dead in the water, which is really too bad. YOGA HOSERS is just another flat out weird movie but sadly this one here isn't nearly as effective as TUSK. Johnny Depp returns to his role from TUSK and adds to the weirdness. I will say that the two leads are actually good together and have a nice chemistry, which just makes you wish even more that they had something better to work with. At just 89-mintues the film is rather short but it drags on to the point where around the twenty-minute mark I was already looking at my clock. Perhaps that's the case but you still have to have some sort of laughs. I don't know if the point of this film is to give his daughter and Depp's daughter a film to go and if perhaps Daddy Smith and Daddy Depp are just here having some goofy fun. That's the most shocking thing to me because Smith is one of the best dialogue writers out there yet this film just seems flat and lifeless. ![]() The problem is that Smith's screenplay is just weird and for a comedy it's never funny. Yes, Nazi sausages are on display here and you've got to at least admit that you've never seen that before. Sadly, YOGA HOSERS is a really awful movie that doesn't work on any level outside of being weird, strange and in all reality original. With that said, just because I respect the filmmaker doesn't mean that I'm going to enjoy the picture. I really, truly and 100% respect that and I admire any filmmaker who wants to take chances and do weird things. ![]() I mean, you gotta admire the man for what he has accomplished in his career and during the chat he talked about people questioning him and that he will do the type of films that he wants. You know, I got the great opportunity to see Smith in person during one of his "conversations" and he's a terrific and fun guy. Yes, writer/director Kevin Smith has followed the ultra-bizarre TUSK up with an even stranger movie that isn't nearly as creative. They invite the boys back to the store for a party by they're attacked by some Nazi sausages. Yoga Hosers (2016) * (out of 4) Friends Colleen (Lily-Rose Depp) and Colleen (Harley Quinn Smith) are invited to a Senior party but they end up having to work at the local convenient store.
