Yoga Hosers

Kevin Smith & Johnny Depp had so much fun with their daughters making Tusk that they decided to make an entire movie about the same characters. Yoga Hosers is the delightful result.

You don't need to see Tusk to see this. It stands on its own.

Yoga Hosers could be called Clerks: Canadian Reboot. It's aboot a couple of high school clerks, both named Colleen (Harley Quinn Smith & Lily-Rose Depp), working at a Winnipeg convenience store who stumble upon a nefarious plot to take over the world.

Ok, there's silliness - mostly in the plot. But there is so much fun in this I didn't mind!

Yes, it's a movie aboot teen girls, but it's still Kevin Smith's writing - witty & even acerbic at times. It has fun, sometimes at its own expense, mostly at Canada's expense. And these characters constantly saying "aboot" never gets old!

Be ready with your remote's Pause button, though. Everything written on the screen goes by way too fast to catch, but is well worth taking the time to see. Like the engraving on the goalie's statue in the park: "Only the Lord saved more." Others are funnier.

It's got a bunch of swearing (in a Kevin Smith movie??) but not enough to keep it rated PG-13.
Rent this if you have a sense of humor!
