Kevin Smith, this is not funny anymore. It’s ok if you, your family and your friends want to make some home movies telling some bad jokes and just playing ridiculous. But please, then don’t pack it up like a serious film and, what is even more important, don’t make us watch it!
Yoga Hosers is a joke. Tusk (2014) was also a joke, but this time it’s even worse. Let’s see, what to salvage from this… eeeeem…. nah…. ummmm…. eeeeeh…. Maybe one or two semi decent jokes? The rest is crap! Seriously!! The plot is awful, the script is full of senseless dialogs and sperpentic situations, the direction and edition is extremelly deficient. Even if the 2 main characters and some of the guest actors in this movie might have some talent inside of themselves, their performances are above ridiculous. Everything in this movie is.
There are 2 main stars in this film, 2 bond good looking teenage girls, suposedly best friends in real life since kindergarten, with very famous parents. First, Harley Quinn Smith, the daughter of writer director Kevin Smith. And second, Lily-Rose Depp, daugther of superstars Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis (who both appear in the movie with small roles). Then, Kevin Smith gives some extra roles to his wife Jennifer Schwalbach Smith and to some other of his pals and actors who also were in Tusk (2014). To name a few, you can spot along the footage appearances of Harley Morenstein, Justin Long, Haley Joel Osment, Jason Mewes, Stan Lee, and the list goes on and on. So that’s it, I guess that is the only worth thing in this movie, to see all those faces together, just for curiosity. Because there is nothing behind Yoga Hosers that could bring any other interest. Maybe you are looking for some fun moments? Well, they are hard to find. And you already ran out of patience when they might pop up.
Those famous parents with daughters who want to get a spot in the movies business should had thought twice before setting up this circus of pink bubblegum decadence. Worth as the 2 girls might be, specially in the case of Harley Quinn Smith which I think still had a spark of talent, this movie should had been the instant end of their careers. I bet in any other case, it would had been. But I supose here they take shelter with the excuse of being in this kind of family inner joke. Still, it’s not funny.
It is reported Yoga Hosers is the second one of Kevin Smith’s Canadian based horror trilogy, “The True North Trilogy” he calls it. Tusk (2014) was the first one and Yoga Hosers follows. That means we still have one more of these funless pranks yet to come, allegedly with the same crew and following the same steps. And the new chapter, already in the works, seems to be called Moose Jaws. “Like Jaws (1975), but with a moose”, claims the tagline. Kevin Smith, please, have mercy and stop.
RATE: 2/10
