Certainly the final sentence of the preceding paragraph indicates a distinct potential for laughs, but Yoga Hosers never finds them and ends up as unappetizing as the inside of a Bratzi (which are routinely put on display). The closest it gets is a handful of minor chuckles mixed amongst a much louder, more plentiful set of groans. The most basic problem with Smith's film is that it simply is not funny. Somehow, before things are done, the entire affair devolves into a science fiction tale involving Satanists, Nazis, and foot-tall living Nazi sausages referred to as Bratzis (and played by Kevin Smith). It makes little to no sense in the context of the story, but the story as a whole makes little sense. Johnny Depp, father of Lily-Rose Depp, appears in the film as well, reprising his role of Guy Lapointe from Tusk. Particularly with the elder Smith directing his daughter, it comes off much more as an old man complaint about what these young whippersnappers are doing than it does a comment on the direction of our society.
YOGA HOSERS MOVIE
Certainly, the Colleens obsession with their cell phones is meant to function as a cultural critique, a swipe at a younger generation, but the movie has absolutely nothing to say about the nature of cell phone use other than that kids spend a lot of time on their phones. There is no real larger argument at work it is just an attempt at generating humor. Play Unlike some of Kevin Smith's other work, there doesn't seem to be a particular reason to depict people in this manner. On and on the movie lurches from one scene of the teens (and others) being horrible and clueless to the next one and to the next one after that. The audience is forced to sit through Colleen C complaining about the romantic relationship her father (Tony Hale) has with Eh-2-Zed manager, Tabitha (Natasha Lyonne), and worse, Tabitha's using the relationship to make the Colleens' lives more difficult. The audience watches helplessly as the Colleens go to a yoga studio where they are taught, poorly, by Yogi Bayer (Justin Long), an instructor who fails to realize just why the owners of Yogi Bear might not like his name or how they might own a cartoon character. There is a killer on the loose, or maybe more than one, but for much of Yoga Hosers' run, that darker story plays second fiddle to watching the clueless shenanigans of two high school sophomores and the at-best-comical Canadian accents offered up by a spate of actors. They are still working at the convenience store, go to high school, and post every moment of their lives on social media. In Yoga Hosers, the two characters again have little to do but are front and center. They have little to do and it functions mainly as an amusing reference to Smith's previous convenience store- and mall-based films. In Tusk, the younger Smith and Depp play cameo roles as Canadian convenience store clerks working at the Eh-2-Zed.
Smith returns to his last film, Tusk, to find the main characters – Colleen McKenzie (Harley Quinn Smith, Kevin Smith's daughter) and Colleen Collette (Lily-Rose Depp). However, rather than functioning as a greatest hits moment for Smith, Yoga Hosers serves up a bunch of lowlights. With the movie, Smith-who, as he regularly does, serves as both writer and director-revisits characters and themes we have seen before.
