Yoga Hosers is the best film Kevin Smith has made in a long time, which admittedly isn’t saying much. But this new cult comedy-thriller may well represent a turning point for the writer-director. Read full review

Yoga Hosers is a movie that feels like it was more fun to make than to watch. Read full review

While Yoga Hosers continues Smith’s quest to push himself into increasingly strange and uncomfortable directions as a filmmaker, it’s either too derivative or too malformed to work the vast majority of the time. Read full review

Even fans who've stuck with Smith for two decades may draw the line at this outing, which offers ingredients just as inexplicable as those in Tusk (it's a sort of spinoff of that film) without the captivating weirdness that sometimes brought that midnighter to life. Read full review

Any of the film's attempts at moralizing are subsumed by Kevin Smith’s obsession with taking aim at his critics. Read full review

[A] lazy affair that aims for inspired lunacy but misses the mark by a mile. Read full review

Instead of a film that’s gleefully outlandish (see: “Sausage Party”), Yoga Hosers is a drag. It contains none of the vivacity of “Clerks,” “Mallrats” or “Chasing Amy,” and plenty of references to those days of yesteryear. It’s a cannibalization of all that we once loved about Smith and his movies. Read full review

Anyone bashing Kevin Smith, what were you expecting? This was a good time at the movies, the 2 Colleen's were great characters and hopefully will be part of the "crew" moving forward in the cameo roles in the new Mallrats, and whatever else Kevin has coming up. The wait in between his filmsAnyone bashing Kevin Smith, what were you expecting? This was a good time at the movies, the 2 Colleen's were great characters and hopefully will be part of the "crew" moving forward in the cameo roles in the new Mallrats, and whatever else Kevin has coming up. The wait in between his films is hard enough, just go and enjoy! Kevin Smith fans will support him no matter what he does. Haters gonna hate I guess!… Expand

This film will never be part of the Criterion Collection, but I have a feeling that if you have any knowledge of Kevin Smith’s filmography you would know that going in. Yoga Hosers takes place in the same universe as Tusk & is apparently the second part of a new trilogy—The True NorthThis film will never be part of the Criterion Collection, but I have a feeling that if you have any knowledge of Kevin Smith’s filmography you would know that going in. Yoga Hosers takes place in the same universe as Tusk & is apparently the second part of a new trilogy—The True North Trilogy—and it’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s also one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had in a theater. Harley Quinn Smith & Lily-Rose Depp are awesome reprising the Colleens from Tusk. Also returning is Johnny Depp’s Guy Lapointe, who has to be the most ridiculous character of Depp’s career. You’ll recognize the usual gang of idiots you expect to find in a Smith film, and quite a few more…the cameos never seem to stop on this one! If you need special effects more advanced than anything spotted in the Puppet Master franchise, this may not be for you…but if you just need to get out and have an awesome time, it’s worth checking out!… Expand

Charming in that slapdash, "Kevin Smith" way - but not very funny, and shave off more laughs if you're not a part of Smith's in-joke club (like I am).

Brutal honesty: This film was made simply because Kevin Smith's daughter and her friend (who happens to be Johnny Depp's daughter) wanted to be in a film. Period. It stands as a reaffirmation that Kevin Smith's creativity crested with "Dogma" and then fell off as rapidly as a crashing jet.Brutal honesty: This film was made simply because Kevin Smith's daughter and her friend (who happens to be Johnny Depp's daughter) wanted to be in a film. Period. It stands as a reaffirmation that Kevin Smith's creativity crested with "Dogma" and then fell off as rapidly as a crashing jet. Tired jokes and stereotypes about Canada, horrible plot, idiotic characters with almost no character building, cheap effects...

No doubt he'll just blow off all of the negative reviews as haters or people who just don't get it. Maybe that last part is true. Maybe the only person who "gets it" is Kevin Smith or people who are so stoned out of their head that anything with flashy lights can seem like a great film (by his own admission, Smith is one such stoner). The only good thing I can say about the film is: Well, it wasn't as bad as Nine Lives.… Expand

A very poor comedy that relies on stereotypes far too much, and very unfunny humour. I'm not sure if Kevin Smith has too much money and is just finding ways t get rid of it, he used to be very funny, but seems to be losing it these days, certainly after this and Tusk.

"Sorry boot that."
It would have been a 3 star before that but that's the laziest Canadian joke one can make. Beyond that, it's like they just aimed for the lowest common denominators. And the casting is just Hollywood nepotism at its worst.
