Yoga Hosers, A sort of review So what IS Yoga Hosers, eh?
It's a new movie from Kevin Smith, he of Clerks, Dogma and Mallrats fame. Oh, and he also made Jersey Girl. But we'll forgive him for that.
The movie is a kooky story of two Canadian convienience store clerks (played by Kevin's daughter Harley Quinn Smith & Lily Rose Depp) who battle cloned Nazi creatures in an attempt to keep their home free from bad things.
It also features Johnny Depp (under very heavy prosthetics) playing one of his oddest roles yet, a nazi hunter vowing to help the two girls clean up their town.
It's a harmless enough flick that requires little to no brain power to watch and enjoy. Most of the jokes are at the expense of Canada. There are a lot of sight gags and quick references that you won't pick up all in one viewing. So it's a movie you'll probably have to buy on DVD or blu-ray to get the full experience of.
Smith himself plays the Bratzi horde (also under heavy prosthetics) and his Hollywood Babble-on cohort Ralph Garman plays the leader of the Canadian Nazi invasion.
There are some interesting cameos (including Stan Lee, Vanessa Paradis & Haley Joel Osment) but it's a movie best watched purely for the fun of it. If you are a fan of the Hollywood Babble-on podcast, you'll get a decent amount of enjoyment from the movie (and Garman's stock impressions).
Neither of the lead girls are spectacular actressess but they weren't hired for their abilities. There's a lot of nepotism going on in this here movie. Why else is Kevin Smith's wife playing a role? Or his dog Shecky? Or his best friend Jason Mewes? Do I need to know anything about Kevin Smith or his films to enjoy this film? A working knowledge of his humour would help, but it can be enjoyed without that. It is a sequel to his movie Tusk but I haven't seen it and still found this movie enjoyable and watchable.
Can I see this movie in a cinema near me? Probably not, it is available on Netflix though.
Should I watch Yoga Hosers? If you want 90-ish minutes of fun and mindless enjoyment, hell yes.
Is the movie as good as it could possibly be? That's a no, in my opinion. A couple of the scenes with the girls singing could have easily been removed without hurting the plot and shortening the running time.
How do you rate Yoga Hosers? Out of 5? I'd give it a 3. Out of 10? I'd give it a 6.5. Ralph Garman's jokes and impressions raised the overall rating for me.
