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"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.

We managed to get to Johnny Depp's second scene and she wanted out. I caved and skipped to the action scenes at the end and although she was more amused all I could think was that Gremlins did it all better.

It's just not funny, everything misses, I wouldn't even know where to begin picking apart it's flaws. It's top down, inside and out.

Maybe as a Smith/Depp family movie I'm sure they love it but as a fan of Kevin Smith's 8 stories he keeps retelling endlessly on his podcasts and as a dad I was sorely disappointed.

Last word for my daughter:

Boring!

I like Kevin Smith, I listen to Smodcast regularly and I appreciate his "why not" attitude, but that doesn't mean his audience has to lap up whatever happens to leap from his head.

Kevin Smith has once said that any idea that he comes up (even if it's a bad one) he can't turn down.

You should. Yoga Hosers feels more like a bad SNL sketch then an actual movie. Well, South Park can also be thrown in the mix, but

Yoga Hosers feels more like a bad SNL sketch then an actual movie. Well, South Park can also be thrown in the mix, but even it's bad episodes isn't as annoying or painful than this garbage.

But then again, I am just an evil critic who hates everything and everyone. Or that's what Kevin Smiths sees or thinks when reading critical reviews. That's an actual scene in this where a character goes on quick rant on someone by calling them a soulless evil critic who hates everything. Which is basically away for Smith to get all of his anger out from the last critical bombs. Sorry but I think Iñárritu got that across a lot more smarter in a much superior film called "Birdman".

Oh and there's this tried gag in the movie where every Canadian say ABOOT (about). The reason why I'm bringing this up is because the film literally focuses on this way too much and the running joke got on my nerves quicker then I imagine. Yes I get it they saying it differently. I'm guessing it's suppose to be funny, because of how intentional the actors say it, but even for a joke it's still piss poor.

Alright I'm done talking about this piece of ****

I don't get it. I know everyone hates this movie but seriously, what the hell is this? Kevin Smith just does things for himself now with no regard to anyone else and it's supposed to be an artist's liberation? Very few auteurs get away this,I don't get it. I know everyone hates this movie but seriously, what the hell is this? Kevin Smith just does things for himself now with no regard to anyone else and it's supposed to be an artist's liberation? Very few auteurs get away this, let alone Smith and art this ain't. Everyone needs perspective and Smith seems to have completely lost it in service to his internet fanboydom that's become all about feeding his ego. Expand

This isn't a real Kevin Smith movie. It's a home movie, made to put something on the Smith/Depp daughters resume, and was doubtlessly put together within a week. Don't bother wasting your time, here...... They didn't.

This esoteric follow up to Tusk from director Kevin Smith is bewilderingly strange, and uninspiring. Smith and Depp (the youngers) are both adequate but unpolished, though the ridiculousness of the script didn't really call for excellence.This esoteric follow up to Tusk from director Kevin Smith is bewilderingly strange, and uninspiring. Smith and Depp (the youngers) are both adequate but unpolished, though the ridiculousness of the script didn't really call for excellence. Depp the elder reprises his role of detective-with-atrocious-accent, perhaps included to make this a complete family affair. The storyline is dumb, the pacing is odd and mercifully the film is brief. Where Tusk was hideously unsettling, this is strangely banal and absurd in equal measure. Do not bother, even if you're a Smith fan. 3.02/10 Expand

"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.

A very poor comedy that relies on stereotypes far too much, and very unfunny humour.
