It was unwatchable. Compared to all his other movies this and tusk are terrible. Jay and silent bob and clerks 2 are great, also mallrats is a classic and dogma is funny
i like how Kevin Smith has literally completely given up on his appearance and just wears the same sloppy ass oversized shorts and hockey style jersey every day. He's done it for years and I'm not being sarcastic. he looks comfortable as hell and no one seems to mind that he constantly looks like he just woke up. I get shit from people if I wear the same thing 2 days in a row, but damnit who cares. I'm literally jealous of Kevin Smith. i want people to take me seriously if I'm walking around in flannel Panama pants and a stained shirt
But it you pay attention, follow his facebook or any other source... he posts tons of videos daily of him doing stuff at the house and other places. And he's wearing tons of different clothes. He wears the shorts and hockey jerseys out in public, for events and shows. In his private life, he dresses like everybody else.
I wish there was a secret organization using Kevin Smith to attract fans who will all be put on their secret list so they'll be killed, kicked out of the country, sterilized, or something. But I'm afraid that's just not going to happen. Kevin Smith has turned into such an abomination at this point and yet has so many fans I feel like it's a travesty and there should be some crazy guy to assassinate people like him for the greater good. I blame disability and anti depressents for this. The crazy assasins aren't doing their jobs anymore.
I can´t think of one single teenager nowadays that is not fucking unbearable in movies. There are no Marty McFly´s, Ferrys Buller´s, Breakfast clubs, or Goonies any more in movies.
Just watched the movie, and NO it's not good, but to the folks calling nepotism, when hasn't Kevin interspersed his loved ones into his movies? What season's Comic Book Men on? How about his wife in Clerks 2? And there's Jason, his teenage friend he asked to play himself.... There're plenty of reasons to dislike the movie. Harley and her childhood friend being the leads isn't why.
bigevilworldwide1 I was the only one in the theater when I went to see Clerks 2. I am fan of his earlier works cause that's what I grew up with. I'm finding fans of his newer movies are more fans of Kevin Smith the person rather than his work, so they give his work a pass regardless of it's quality.
When he cried for rose tico it was a real eye opener for me, hated him ever since ND I'm now ashamed I liked almost everything he did that I saw. I feel like I was taken advantage of for being young and naive and being tricked into liking his crap on the screen.
You're like a woman who keeps getting hit by her husband but believes him when he says he loves her and defends him to all her friends and family. Kevin Smith did not make that movie for his dad. He made it because he thought it would make money and he's just a huge lying shill that will say whatever he thinks people will believe. Saying he made his shitty movie for his dad is about as great an excuse as saying your dog ate your homework. Do you believe anything people tell you?
I respect your opinion, but I caught this at a Fathom event, and it's in my running for worst of the year so far (along with 31). Kevin Smith needs to have some discipline and NOT get baked while he's writing. His poor daughter is going to catch so much hell, and it's not even her fault. Johnny Depp, on the other hand, deserves ALL the venom for his reprisal of the "Cottonball Clouseau" from Tusk. Depp's act has stretch marks on it at this point, even watching him portray Captain Jack in Pirates has lost its luster.
Thank You for being so reasonable in your reviews. This was a film made by two names that could get the funding to make a project for their daughters and have a blast doing it. And they achieved it. It wasn't made for the usual Kevin Smith Crowd but I can still respect what he did even though it's pretty unfunny. I actually enjoyed Tusk in a so bad it's good way and I think that was part of the idea with it being so over the top. Kevin is a huge inspiration to me and he's never been perfect but I don't think I would enjoy him as much if he were
I liked the goofiness of the movie and the overall idea of it, but the execution was just mediocre. The jokes are badly timed, there is not too much chemistry between the lead characters, there is no tension, the songs really annoyed me. I did not care for the bad FX, as it is an independent production. But it is not a matter of budget to fix the timing or the dialogue.
Hahaha, well, I gotta say after watching your entire backlog that's been my one and only issue. You do amazing work! All the best with subscribers, views and the journey. You deserve it!
That was pretty much the point. Smith is friends with Depp and a producer was willing to throw money at them to make a movie with Depp in it. Why not? If someone was willing to give me a ton of money to make a film with my friends and family, you bet I'd jump on it.
I'm not saying he shouldn't take the money, but I also don't see how it's anything better than say, the guys who put together music videos for rich kids like Rebecca Black.
Well for one, there is a lot more skill involved. Its not just one guy who came up with a beat and had a girl sing a bad tune in an afternoon. The movie had a lot of talent behind it, all doing it for fun. It was a low enough budget that they knew it would make its money back so really, they were all just goofing off and enjoying themselves, which is something you don't get to do on huge 100 million budget films. If its not your cup of tea, thats fine. This wasn't the kind of movie that was made to have mass appeal.
Sure, but that still absolutely falls under the umbrella of vanity project. "After Earth" unarguably had talent behind it, and a budget, but it still was a suspect project from the start that existed in an attempt to promote their less-talented kid than tell a good story. I am sure that After Earth was probably someone out there's "cup of tea", but it still was kinda blatant nepotism, much like this film.
After Earth took it a little further though. Will Smith got M Night the project but then armchair directed nearly the whole thing. Nepotism in Hollywood is nothing new. Gwenth Paltrow, Emma Roberts, Sofia Coppela, Angelina Jolie, Leslie Mann, Ava Amurri, Rumor Willis, Ben Stiller, Colin Hanks, Miley Cyrus, and many more. The difference is, Smith isn't pushing his kid into some massive movie. He's putting her in these small projects that won't be seen very much outside of his core fanbase.
Fair review. what bugs me about people who just piss on anything, is they feel like they are the be all end all and you suddenly are MORE valid if your not a Kev Smith fanboy. well piss off yourself. if someone admires craft, piss on you for trying to shit on them. let it be. anyways, I felt like you could have skipped the first minute where you pretty much put tons of disclaimer for the high and mighty haters. You saying it's not everyone, sums it up. other than that. Fair enough. he said it himself anyway.
I saw it on August 30th, and I did enjoy it. It had it's moments. My mind is, the girls had fun and Kevin had fun too. I heard the story about Tusk and how Johnny Depp was excited to act along side his daughter, he thought it was the coolest thing. I can respect Johnny for that.
I have to say I would rather watch a movie where actors playing a non-famous garage band that will undoubtedly break up before high school is bad. I am kind of sick of every single person whose in a "shitty" garage band either being over the top terrible where it's not believable that they realize how bad they are or they are so good they couldn't be considered bad. The last good "bad musician" in a movie/TV was Lisa Kudrow because she played it true to the character and wouldn't let the show runners get her lessons or do anything with her to improve her skill beyond what Phoebe would have.
I've liked the fact that kevin smith has taken risks on his last few films. Everyone I talked with either have never heard of or hated Red State. I personally loved it, thinking that the performances were all top notch and the film as a whole was very entertaining. The same goes with Tusk. It was like a one man, Canadian Human Centipede and everyone in that did a great job. Depp was a little over the top but I still liked his character. And now with this one, I am actually looking forward to it. Kudos to those who think outside the box and dont give us another cookie cutter haunting or killer in the woods.
I thought it was really wierd that be sexualized both of them, especially in the scene where they are doing yoga. I could see that being fine if it wasn't one of the girls father directing it!
I'm still a Kevin Smith fan, but his recent output leaves a lot to be desired. I haven't seen Red State yet, so it might be unfair to judge him too harshly, but Cop Out and Tusk were huge misfires. The first two thirds of Tusk I was into. I think he built up a decent atmosphere, Justin Long was good, and Michael Parks was excellent as that creepy old fuck with a walrus fetish. The body horror was great at first, really fucked up when he had his arms and legs removed and he was lying on the table screaming. Then the movie derailed spectacularly, Smith must've smoked some really strong shit, and he threw it all away for tremendously unfunny characters and dialogue. Depp's detective was atrocious, and his flashback scene with Parks retroactively killed any menace that character ever had. Then he showed the full walrus suit....fuck me, what an idiot. I'm sure that was funny in his pot-addled mind, but what a waste of legitimately good atmosphere and buildup. What could've been a great horror concept was killed because Smith had to follow through on the dumbass yucks he got when talking about the concept on his podcast. The movie made me mad due to that wasted potential...if he'd have just followed through into the final act with what came before. Instead he had to have a half-assed Clouseau impression and a big dumb rubber suit. What a dumbass.
Red State was really, really good. The thing with Cop Out, he explains a lot of what happened in one of his spoken words. Essentially, it was undone by Bruce Willis who fought him the entire time. Tusk he spoke about for about a half hour before Yoga Hosers and explained how that happened. He joked about it on his podcast, his audience demanded it and a producer called him up with 3 million telling him "I just want to see if you can do it." As far as Yoga Hosers, he was talking to Johnny Depp and they thought it would be cool to make a film with their kids. Plain as that. So really, Smith is just stretching his legs artistically. He's trying new genres and weird movies which may not work for everyone but at least he's not just crapping out the same thing year after year. I respect that.
I agree about cop out but disagree with Tusk. I rather liked it a lot. A lot more than say Zack and Miri make a Porno. Red State is fantastic though. Definitely see red state. Red State goes in the opposite direction. Starts off mildly funny then just turns inside out with fucked up psychological horror. Michael Parks is evil as fuck as a religious zealot and it just works in a lot of ways.
I didn't say "it was the worst consequence in the world"...I said it was Nepotism at it's worst. Learn to read and decipher what I'm actually saying...I know, it's a difficult concept, but you'll get there someday.
I understood you perfectly. This is the worst thing you can imagine as a consequence of nepotism. (Which isn't a proper noun, btw.) That's either ridiculous or wild hyperbole. This is a goddamn Kevin Smith movie. The consequences here are insignificant compared to cases where nepotism actually matters, such as in governance. Feel free to lash out a second time.
Kevin, is that you? Or is that just another one of your fanboys lashing out ;) You're right, it''s a hyperbolic statement (who said it wasn't?) My question is why do you care so much about what some random guy on the internet has to say about a shitty looking movie?
Honestly I do not think that CopOut should be considered a Kevin Smith movie anymore than The Flash is a Kevin Smith TV show. Whereas with most movies he directs he also wrote them and was in on the casting the whole way with CopOut he was directing someone else's work and writing. He was just the director which for him isn't a usual state of being with movie's he's helming. Jersey Girls I think works really well if you are in a simliar place as the main character. AT the time I had also had my dream career snatched away by circumstances and was figuring out my relationship with my kid and kind of a "what do I do now" kind of thing.
I'm a big Hollywood Babble-On fan, so it was awesome to see Ralph Garman hamming it up. It's hilarious to see all these know-nothing "movie fans" and fake hipster critics diss this for being a vanity project for his daughter and "just more Hollywood nepotism" when both girls have been making other, much more conventional movies and both (or, all involved, rather) went into this knowing it was gonna be a niche film that idiots would be foaming at the mouth in preparation to hate it, not a vehicle to catapult anyone's career. It's like going after Lloyd Kaufman for putting his daughter in his last 4 or 5 movies.
Chris Wyble oh, yeah, these fine actresses have each definitely amassed an impressive oeuvre. And none of it the result of being the children of famous people.
I was actually one of the ones who somewhat enjoyed Tusk despite its flaws but this one was just grating and painful. His worst film IMO. I really like Kevin Smith but this is one I could have lived without. Hope the third film in this sub-series (Moose Jaws) is better.
This movie is for tweens. For that demo it may work. Kevin Smith is doing literally whatever the fuck he wants these days, so what? Some the masses will like, some they won't. Oh well.
ahaha that's fucking HILARIOUS. it's not _"EHH" to Zed, it's AY to Zed. that's what makes it a... well... perhaps not a _JOKE,_ but at least a... well, something. that you missed the point completely is pretty damned funny. -a canadian.
Wait, this is already out?! i saw the trailer a couple months ago, thought "this is so stupid i have to see it" & completely forgot about it because i haven't see or heard anything about it AT ALL since then, no additional trailers, no TV spots, nothing. And i just checked the release date & tickets & it's playing nowhere near me. Well hell. lol
I dont know why you didnt wanna spoil the fact that Harley from epic meal time was in the movie it wasnt anymore of a surprise than the others especially seeing as he has worked with Kevin at least twice to my knowledge once in tusk and once in Smith's Bit in Holidays
I really want to see this but the closest theater that's playing it is an hour away from me. I really liked Tusk, so I'm down to see this movie. I'll probably wait until it hits DVD or if it happens to come to me locally.
@@nl3064 This movie is definitely up there on people's worst ever list. It actually made me angry, like a giant waste of time with how poorly written/directed it was. Kevin Smith knows he has a huge following & an earned one at that (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, etc) & he just wasted a lot of fans time with this piece of shit.
@Crunch Buttsteak in all honesty, I totally acknowledge how retarded and bad this movies is, I'm not going to defend it, I know its place and normally would be shitting all over it, but It's a guilty pleasure for me. I liked the bright colorful look, the dumb monster design at the end, and at the very least you can say there's nothing else quite like it. Then again, Tusk is my second favorite Smith movie behind Clerks, so this was a given. And honesty, I really want him to make Moose Jaws already.
I didn't hate this with the vitriol most people do. but it's definitely not very good. I will admit I laughed a couple times and the performances by Harley Quinn and Lily Rose were not bad. but the constant "aboot" jokes got old real quick. And Ralph Garmans impression schtick was pretty grating. I'll probably forget this film by tomorrow.
@@nl3064 To express how horrible of a movie I found "Yoga Hosers" to be, & commented with a dramatic edge for comedic effect. If someone ever recommended me "Yoga Hosers" I'd cut them off. Obviously I'm being dramatic & wouldn't cut them off, but at the very least I'd question their next recommendation. I think I covered all bases to your question, does that answer it?
Lol, Cecil I think you are being a bit too civil with this review. Thanks for the info though. I know I won't be watching this AT ALL. And I'm someone who loves a film like Excision.
New main shows arrive mondays at 1 PM EST. That includes "Exploring", "Good Bad Flicks", and "WTF". New Exploring episodes run roughly every other week. A new one will be up this afternoon.
i understand this film has clearly been released. . . but where? it doesn't seem to be playing at any theatres. it feels like i have been waiting to see this film for ten thousand years, and now it is finally released it's only showing in some fortified military bunker 2 miles under the arctic tundra. gimme it!
Kevin went on tour from state to state with the movie and played it mostly at arthouse theaters. I saw it on a "release" party one night showing where they ran it from one location and sent it out to theaters around the US. Before the movie Kevin talked for about a half hour and explained the history behind how the film came together. Afterwards they ran a Q&A session from a previous date. I think he said it should be on home video in the fall.
If what he says in podcasts is true, he doesn't really give a shit and just films whatever he wants these days. No big aspirations, not trying to impress critics. Making small movies that he wants to make. Haven't seen this one yet, but tusk was weirdly enjoyable to me in places, dunno why.
This is just me but Kevins films have went down in quality alot.Clearks Iliked Mall Rats I liked.Clearks 2 I liked Jay an Silent bob strike back I enjoy.Zack an Miri was all right.Every thing else blows.
Kevin's talent lies in stand up/public speaking/vocal storytelling. With the exceptio of chasing amy (even with pretenious dialog) Dogma,jeresy girl and res state. his movies are kinda bad. His Flash episode was good, but Flash is generally always good, probably directs itself.
dogma and red state were two of his best in my opinion. red state was a long way off his usual but it really was a great story. as for Jersey girl, yeah, I'll go with you on that one. his stand up and storytelling is great which translates well to smodco, but clerks, mallrats, clerks 2, chasing Amy....all really good movies that had that perfect gen x feel
It wasn't a terrible movie but it makes me wonder why Kevin Smith hates Christianity so much. And now that I've come to find out what Kevin Smith's real character is like it makes me like Christianity more if people like him are the alternative.
Qweq Qweq he was raised catholic. His biggest problem with Christianity is the church not the religion. Things like West Burrow Baptist church protesting soldiers’ funerals with profane signs, priest sex abuse scandals and so forth. Those are the reasons he has problems with religion, in general he’s a live and let live sort.
Qweq Qweq I still like most of his films. Politically I depart with him on the 2nd amendment issue. I’m an energetic supporter of civilian firearms ownership. I happen to also be an atheist but I find it ironic Christians I’ve come across for the most part are more accepting than the so called tolerant left political ideology.
charles hetrick I used to be pro choice like the media wanted to brainwash us all but then I had a girlfriend who I lived with for a while and she was suicidal because she had an abortion and then a miscarriage and now I really think they're not looking out for women at all. They just keep pushing and pushing abortions on women and lying more and more. I'm not anti abortion but I'm anti planned Parenthood and I don't see why we have to have abortion quotas and subsidize it. I was premature and sickly myself with all sorts of health problems when I was young and I can even remember almost dying a couple times in the hospital so I'm really not against aborting fetuses like that cause I'm not gonna lie, that's a rough life and having gone through it myself I would never want my kid to be born if he had to go through it too. But I'm against subsidized abortions for purely economic reasons because I know there's at least one person I knew personally who felt like she was talked into it and regretted it ever since.
I liked it. I chuckled a few times and enjoyed the goofiness of it all. The final confrontation between Depp, the girls and the German madman was pretty funny. The Bratzies were pretty funny as well.
My wife and I watched Red State on VOD - we liked it. The ending was the biggest letdown, until we realized what he did there, not only for budgetary constraints, but for filmmaking; there wasn't a happy ending, this was a realistic depiction of how such a thing could go down, and we accepted it as him growing as a filmmaker. As a fan, I'm happy that he does movies for himself, because he doesn't have to do these movies, his podcasts and live shows make him a lot of money, as do his directorial credits, like the Flash and Supergirl. He just hasn't seen movies like the ones he is making. And besides, at least Harley Quinn Smith didn't ruin a trilogy franchise like Sophia Coppola did in "Godfather III."
This was the worst movie I've seen in 2016. So painfully unfunny, insultingly lazy and horribly acted and directed. I thought it was some cheap semi-professional directorial debut, but then I found out it was made by Kevin Smith and I just felt this sinking disappointment come over me. His previous flops were at least trying to achieve something, but here he just didn't give the slightest shit. Smith seems like an amazing guy in person, but I'll make sure to stay away from any of his future projects.
Ya I guess. It's all over the place and now that I've been watching the news more and am I bit older and wiser I think maybe it's just political propaganda.
Also, I heckled Kevin at a con in CT recently. He didn't seem to care. I yelled "what the fuck man?" just in general disgust and bafflement at his recent output. I imagine he gets it a lot lately. These movies show active contempt for people who consume movies. What would Randal think of watching Yoga Hosers with his foot up on the counter?
This was awful, not one joke landed, it felt forced, it was cheap looking and felt like we gotta push our daughters day at the office.
It was unwatchable. Compared to all his other movies this and tusk are terrible. Jay and silent bob and clerks 2 are great, also mallrats is a classic and dogma is funny
I disagree. I enjoyed it a lot

Yes but he doesn't need a trademark outfit. That's just silly
But it you pay attention, follow his facebook or any other source... he posts tons of videos daily of him doing stuff at the house and other places.
And he's wearing tons of different clothes.
He wears the shorts and hockey jerseys out in public, for events and shows. In his private life, he dresses like everybody else.
I wish there was a secret organization using Kevin Smith to attract fans who will all be put on their secret list so they'll be killed, kicked out of the country, sterilized, or something. But I'm afraid that's just not going to happen.
Kevin Smith has turned into such an abomination at this point and yet has so many fans I feel like it's a travesty and there should be some crazy guy to assassinate people like him for the greater good. I blame disability and anti depressents for this. The crazy assasins aren't doing their jobs anymore.
Kevin Smith has become the Edo Wood of our time.
I can´t think of one single teenager nowadays that is not fucking unbearable in movies. There are no Marty McFly´s, Ferrys Buller´s, Breakfast clubs, or Goonies any more in movies.
Just watched the movie, and NO it's not good, but to the folks calling nepotism, when hasn't Kevin interspersed his loved ones into his movies?
What season's Comic Book Men on?
How about his wife in Clerks 2?
And there's Jason, his teenage friend he asked to play himself....
There're plenty of reasons to dislike the movie. Harley and her childhood friend being the leads isn't why.
this is late af reply but in reality all he was doing was trying to help out his family and homies I duno why people are shitting on him for it
I really enjoy these reviews. I feel like you give credit where it's due and you don't make a point to shit on everything.
Kevin Smith named his kid Harley Quinn?? Kevin smokes too much weed.
I started off as a huge Kevin Smith fan but I have been off the bandwagon for some time now!
bigevilworldwide1 I was the only one in the theater when I went to see Clerks 2. I am fan of his earlier works cause that's what I grew up with.

He died during Jersey girl.
The nail in the coffin was Clerks 2.
When he cried for rose tico it was a real eye opener for me, hated him ever since ND I'm now ashamed I liked almost everything he did that I saw. I feel like I was taken advantage of for being young and naive and being tricked into liking his crap on the screen.

Don't you mean "wurst of the year?"

I know, I know! I should have said it more "Eh", didn't realize til after I recorded.

Thank you so much! :)
'A' to 'Z'
heh... clever store name.
Yeah Brad Jones hated this movie quite a bit.
This movie screams "Vanity picture". Let's stick our kids in a movie! I think I can pass being a part of that.
That was pretty much the point. Smith is friends with Depp and a producer was willing to throw money at them to make a movie with Depp in it. Why not? If someone was willing to give me a ton of money to make a film with my friends and family, you bet I'd jump on it.

I misread the title as: " Yoga Horses" XD
Fair review.
what bugs me about people who just piss on anything, is they feel like they are the be all end all and you suddenly are MORE valid if your not a Kev Smith fanboy. well piss off yourself.
if someone admires craft, piss on you for trying to shit on them.
let it be.
anyways, I felt like you could have skipped the first minute where you pretty much put tons of disclaimer for the high and mighty haters.

That girl in the blue... her knee on that poster is bending back way too far.
A modern Kevin Smith movie with Johnny Deep in bad prosthetics doing a goofy accent ... I'll be avoiding this movie like the plague.

And now with this one, I am actually looking forward to it. Kudos to those who think outside the box and dont give us another cookie cutter haunting or killer in the woods.
I thought it was really wierd that be sexualized both of them, especially in the scene where they are doing yoga. I could see that being fine if it wasn't one of the girls father directing it!
Mystery Science is my favorite show as well :)
I'm still a Kevin Smith fan, but his recent output leaves a lot to be desired. I haven't seen Red State yet, so it might be unfair to judge him too harshly, but Cop Out and Tusk were huge misfires.
The first two thirds of Tusk I was into. I think he built up a decent atmosphere, Justin Long was good, and Michael Parks was excellent as that creepy old fuck with a walrus fetish. The body horror was great at first, really fucked up when he had his arms and legs removed and he was lying on the table screaming. Then the movie derailed spectacularly, Smith must've smoked some really strong shit, and he threw it all away for tremendously unfunny characters and dialogue. Depp's detective was atrocious, and his flashback scene with Parks retroactively killed any menace that character ever had. Then he showed the full walrus suit....fuck me, what an idiot. I'm sure that was funny in his pot-addled mind, but what a waste of legitimately good atmosphere and buildup. What could've been a great horror concept was killed because Smith had to follow through on the dumbass yucks he got when talking about the concept on his podcast.
The movie made me mad due to that wasted potential...if he'd have just followed through into the final act with what came before. Instead he had to have a half-assed Clouseau impression and a big dumb rubber suit. What a dumbass.
Red State was really, really good.
The thing with Cop Out, he explains a lot of what happened in one of his spoken words. Essentially, it was undone by Bruce Willis who fought him the entire time.
Tusk he spoke about for about a half hour before Yoga Hosers and explained how that happened. He joked about it on his podcast, his audience demanded it and a producer called him up with 3 million telling him "I just want to see if you can do it."
As far as Yoga Hosers, he was talking to Johnny Depp and they thought it would be cool to make a film with their kids. Plain as that.
So really, Smith is just stretching his legs artistically. He's trying new genres and weird movies which may not work for everyone but at least he's not just crapping out the same thing year after year. I respect that.
Red state is the best horror movie to come out after paranormal activity.
I agree about cop out but disagree with Tusk. I rather liked it a lot. A lot more than say Zack and Miri make a Porno. Red State is fantastic though. Definitely see red state. Red State goes in the opposite direction. Starts off mildly funny then just turns inside out with fucked up psychological horror. Michael Parks is evil as fuck as a religious zealot and it just works in a lot of ways.
Yeah, I've heard good things about Red State. Will definitely give it a watch.
Clerks and MST3K are huge influences on me... I guess there is a reason why I truly trust your opinions for films (seriously freakishly uncanny!)
Theres a lot of overlap from those audiences, not really freakish or uncanny
Also means you have great taste :)
For me it's Kevin Smith and Rifftrax that has influenced my sense of humor.
Have you reviewed 'Gleam the Cube' (1989) and 'Very Bad Things' (1998)?
Life-Row-Toll =really
The latter is also very underrated
Harley Morenstein, the star of the 'Epic Meal Time' ... It isn't a spoiler, he was also in Tusk.
Looks like nepotism at its worst
dont ya mean at its wurst
"At its worst?" Seriously? Man, I would love to live in your world, where this is the worst consequence you can think of.
I didn't say "it was the worst consequence in the world"...I said it was Nepotism at it's worst. Learn to read and decipher what I'm actually saying...I know, it's a difficult concept, but you'll get there someday.
I understood you perfectly. This is the worst thing you can imagine as a consequence of nepotism. (Which isn't a proper noun, btw.) That's either ridiculous or wild hyperbole. This is a goddamn Kevin Smith movie. The consequences here are insignificant compared to cases where nepotism actually matters, such as in governance.
Feel free to lash out a second time.
Kevin, is that you? Or is that just another one of your fanboys lashing out ;)
You're right, it''s a hyperbolic statement (who said it wasn't?)
My question is why do you care so much about what some random guy on the internet has to say about a shitty looking movie?
I love Yoga Hosers so much. I laugh out loud at so much in it, and it has this fun energy. It makes me sad how much hate it gets.
Kevin Smith is branching out.... into shit movies. He is definitely into his Uwe Boll phase.
Can anyone tel me the youtuber in the movie? couldn't see it on IMDB
Look up Toilet Paper Man
Honestly I do not think that CopOut should be considered a Kevin Smith movie anymore than The Flash is a Kevin Smith TV show. Whereas with most movies he directs he also wrote them and was in on the casting the whole way with CopOut he was directing someone else's work and writing. He was just the director which for him isn't a usual state of being with movie's he's helming.
Jersey Girls I think works really well if you are in a simliar place as the main character. AT the time I had also had my dream career snatched away by circumstances and was figuring out my relationship with my kid and kind of a "what do I do now" kind of thing.
I'm a big Hollywood Babble-On fan, so it was awesome to see Ralph Garman hamming it up.
It's hilarious to see all these know-nothing "movie fans" and fake hipster critics diss this for being a vanity project for his daughter and "just more Hollywood nepotism" when both girls have been making other, much more conventional movies and both (or, all involved, rather) went into this knowing it was gonna be a niche film that idiots would be foaming at the mouth in preparation to hate it, not a vehicle to catapult anyone's career.
It's like going after Lloyd Kaufman for putting his daughter in his last 4 or 5 movies.
Chris Wyble oh, yeah, these fine actresses have each definitely amassed an impressive oeuvre. And none of it the result of being the children of famous people.
It was the WURST!
I was actually one of the ones who somewhat enjoyed Tusk despite its flaws but this one was just grating and painful. His worst film IMO. I really like Kevin Smith but this is one I could have lived without. Hope the third film in this sub-series (Moose Jaws) is better.
Agree. I HATE THIS MOVIE. I also liked Tusk.
This movie is for tweens. For that demo it may work. Kevin Smith is doing literally whatever the fuck he wants these days, so what? Some the masses will like, some they won't. Oh well.
ahaha that's fucking HILARIOUS. it's not _"EHH" to Zed, it's AY to Zed. that's what makes it a... well... perhaps not a _JOKE,_ but at least a... well, something. that you missed the point completely is pretty damned funny.
-a canadian.
Texting jokes? I'm sure they would've killed in 2003.
Kevin's having the time of his life right now. Happy for him.
Wait, this is already out?! i saw the trailer a couple months ago, thought "this is so stupid i have to see it" & completely forgot about it because i haven't see or heard anything about it AT ALL since then, no additional trailers, no TV spots, nothing. And i just checked the release date & tickets & it's playing nowhere near me. Well hell. lol
I dont know why you didnt wanna spoil the fact that Harley from epic meal time was in the movie it wasnt anymore of a surprise than the others especially seeing as he has worked with Kevin at least twice to my knowledge once in tusk and once in Smith's Bit in Holidays
I really want to see this but the closest theater that's playing it is an hour away from me. I really liked Tusk, so I'm down to see this movie. I'll probably wait until it hits DVD or if it happens to come to me locally.
I JUST WATCHED THIS MOVIE.TO BE HONEST EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT.I ENJOYED IT MYSELF.BUT HEY THAT'S MY OPINION.
what bothered me about the songs was you heard guitar when the songs are being performed but no one in the band played guitar
An internet reviewer influenced by MST3K?!! *WHY I NEVER!!!*
MADNESS I SAY!
Also did Kev pay you to be that generous?
@Repurposed Diesel Submarine Engine Exhaust If this is the worst you've ever seen, then you haven't seen much.
@@nl3064 This movie is definitely up there on people's worst ever list. It actually made me angry, like a giant waste of time with how poorly written/directed it was.
Kevin Smith knows he has a huge following & an earned one at that (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, etc) & he just wasted a lot of fans time with this piece of shit.
@Crunch Buttsteak in all honesty, I totally acknowledge how retarded and bad this movies is, I'm not going to defend it, I know its place and normally would be shitting all over it, but It's a guilty pleasure for me. I liked the bright colorful look, the dumb monster design at the end, and at the very least you can say there's nothing else quite like it. Then again, Tusk is my second favorite Smith movie behind Clerks, so this was a given. And honesty, I really want him to make Moose Jaws already.
Tell-Em Steve Dave.
Eliott Snow one side red
Yoga Hosers, a testament to someone who has smoked too many doobies.
Here's hoping the Jay & Silent Bob Reboot will be good.
I didn't hate this with the vitriol most people do. but it's definitely not very good. I will admit I laughed a couple times and the performances by Harley Quinn and Lily Rose were not bad. but the constant "aboot" jokes got old real quick. And Ralph Garmans impression schtick was pretty grating. I'll probably forget this film by tomorrow.
This flick is just Dumb Fun!! I dug it!
Please never ever recommend me a movie to watch.
@@Crunch_Buttsteak What's the point of you commenting that?
@@nl3064 To express how horrible of a movie I found "Yoga Hosers" to be, & commented with a dramatic edge for comedic effect.
If someone ever recommended me "Yoga Hosers" I'd cut them off. Obviously I'm being dramatic & wouldn't cut them off, but at the very least I'd question their next recommendation.
I think I covered all bases to your question, does that answer it?
@@Crunch_Buttsteak Yeah, my bad, I missed the 'put-on' tone of voice. I read it as more of a dickish note. My bad.
@@nl3064 No it's fine 👍🍻

Lol, Cecil I think you are being a bit too civil with this review. Thanks for the info though. I know I won't be watching this AT ALL. And I'm someone who loves a film like Excision.
Hey Cecil, did you see Double Toasted's review of this movie? If so, what did you think of it?
So are you done with the exploring series
New main shows arrive mondays at 1 PM EST. That includes "Exploring", "Good Bad Flicks", and "WTF". New Exploring episodes run roughly every other week. A new one will be up this afternoon.

i understand this film has clearly been released. . . but where? it doesn't seem to be playing at any theatres. it feels like i have been waiting to see this film for ten thousand years, and now it is finally released it's only showing in some fortified military bunker 2 miles under the arctic tundra. gimme it!
Kevin went on tour from state to state with the movie and played it mostly at arthouse theaters. I saw it on a "release" party one night showing where they ran it from one location and sent it out to theaters around the US. Before the movie Kevin talked for about a half hour and explained the history behind how the film came together. Afterwards they ran a Q&A session from a previous date.
I think he said it should be on home video in the fall.
GoodBadFlicks oh well, looks like i just have to hold on a bit longer for the home release. thanks for the info.
You have to get stoned to enjoy it as intended
I like Smith a lot, but this film had so much potential that didn't pan out at all...
If what he says in podcasts is true, he doesn't really give a shit and just films whatever he wants these days. No big aspirations, not trying to impress critics. Making small movies that he wants to make. Haven't seen this one yet, but tusk was weirdly enjoyable to me in places, dunno why.
which one is kevins kid?
the cute one or the dork lookin? nevermind...
To be fair, Kevin Smith doesn't like Cop-Out either...
I still love kevin smith, i would'nt be doing what i do if he didnt inspire me.
also, he still making movies... and he's making them his way.
You're on the list now.
I'm probably never gonna see this movie, so who's the youtuber he's talking about?
+Edgar Martinez wait so we see how IHE looks like?
+Edgar Martinez no it's Harley from epic meal time
+moses ochs it's Harley from epic mealtime. I don't know hat that guy is talking about
I thought it was will Smith.
glad you've given lesbian Valerie's from the dido shaped planet a miss and reviewed some of K-Smiths work Cecil! !! keep up the awesomeness
Valerie's = Valkyries
Is it wrong to say this is sort of like Kevin Smith's Scott Pilgrim?
benmeiertv Yes. It is very wrong.
I fucking love kevin smith
It's a pretty funny movie. "Nein, nein, nein, nein. So much nein, it's almost ten
I liked the movie and even the songs.
Is that a polite way of saying it's shit?
Well it´s directed by Kevin Smith.
This is just me but Kevins films have went down in quality alot.Clearks Iliked Mall Rats I liked.Clearks 2 I liked Jay an Silent bob strike back I enjoy.Zack an Miri was all right.Every thing else blows.
No nepotism at work here.
Kevin's talent lies in stand up/public speaking/vocal storytelling.
With the exceptio of chasing amy (even with pretenious dialog) Dogma,jeresy girl and res state. his movies are kinda bad.
His Flash episode was good, but Flash is generally always good, probably directs itself.
dogma and red state were two of his best in my opinion. red state was a long way off his usual but it really was a great story. as for Jersey girl, yeah, I'll go with you on that one. his stand up and storytelling is great which translates well to smodco, but clerks, mallrats, clerks 2, chasing Amy....all really good movies that had that perfect gen x feel
any plans to review bubba ho tep?
It's pronounced like the letter "A", not like "meh".
Red State was awesome and really should have been given the money for the ending he really wanted
It wasn't a terrible movie but it makes me wonder why Kevin Smith hates Christianity so much. And now that I've come to find out what Kevin Smith's real character is like it makes me like Christianity more if people like him are the alternative.
Qweq Qweq he was raised catholic. His biggest problem with Christianity is the church not the religion. Things like West Burrow Baptist church protesting soldiers’ funerals with profane signs, priest sex abuse scandals and so forth. Those are the reasons he has problems with religion, in general he’s a live and let live sort.
Qweq Qweq I still like most of his films. Politically I depart with him on the 2nd amendment issue. I’m an energetic supporter of civilian firearms ownership. I happen to also be an atheist but I find it ironic Christians I’ve come across for the most part are more accepting than the so called tolerant left political ideology.
charles hetrick I used to be pro choice like the media wanted to brainwash us all but then I had a girlfriend who I lived with for a while and she was suicidal because she had an abortion and then a miscarriage and now I really think they're not looking out for women at all. They just keep pushing and pushing abortions on women and lying more and more. I'm not anti abortion but I'm anti planned Parenthood and I don't see why we have to have abortion quotas and subsidize it. I was premature and sickly myself with all sorts of health problems when I was young and I can even remember almost dying a couple times in the hospital so I'm really not against aborting fetuses like that cause I'm not gonna lie, that's a rough life and having gone through it myself I would never want my kid to be born if he had to go through it too.
But I'm against subsidized abortions for purely economic reasons because I know there's at least one person I knew personally who felt like she was talked into it and regretted it ever since.
It's the second movie in the trilogy...
I liked it. I chuckled a few times and enjoyed the goofiness of it all. The final confrontation between Depp, the girls and the German madman was pretty funny. The Bratzies were pretty funny as well.
haha, 'eh' is prounced 'ay' as in the stereotypical canadian refrain. its not like 'meh'. edit: never mind, I see you already caught that
I went to the IMDB and I still can't tell who the 'Famous TH-camr' is.
Harley from Epic Meal Time
@@GoodBadFlicks Im sure his career has NEVER bounced back after being associated with this movie :(
You're the 1st person I've seen who actually like this movie
Dat bent knee. WTF
"Eh" is not pronounced in a meh like fashion as you had done. It's literally like saying "A". Hence "Eh to Zed (A - Z)". Americans are hilarious.
My wife and I watched Red State on VOD - we liked it. The ending was the biggest letdown, until we realized what he did there, not only for budgetary constraints, but for filmmaking; there wasn't a happy ending, this was a realistic depiction of how such a thing could go down, and we accepted it as him growing as a filmmaker.
As a fan, I'm happy that he does movies for himself, because he doesn't have to do these movies, his podcasts and live shows make him a lot of money, as do his directorial credits, like the Flash and Supergirl. He just hasn't seen movies like the ones he is making.
And besides, at least Harley Quinn Smith didn't ruin a trilogy franchise like Sophia Coppola did in "Godfather III."
Ralph Garmon too
This movie made my dog shit on my bed
This looks like fun.
oh hey. you're the guy from radiodrome
I'm kind of like the audio version of Dick Miller or Al Leong
Eh is pronounced aye. How do you not know that eh.
This was the worst movie I've seen in 2016. So painfully unfunny, insultingly lazy and horribly acted and directed. I thought it was some cheap semi-professional directorial debut, but then I found out it was made by Kevin Smith and I just felt this sinking disappointment come over me. His previous flops were at least trying to achieve something, but here he just didn't give the slightest shit. Smith seems like an amazing guy in person, but I'll make sure to stay away from any of his future projects.
Was Red State horror?
Ya I guess. It's all over the place and now that I've been watching the news more and am I bit older and wiser I think maybe it's just political propaganda.
It is a braindead movie, but it is hilarious!
personally I got a kick out of the movie I thought the bratwurst Nazis were hilarious 😂😂😂 .
I’m a huge Clerks fan and even took a road trip to the Jersey store. But this movie was fucking dog shit. Sorry Kev.
Funny...very entertaining!
Please watch Swiss Army Man
If you liked Yoga Hosers....then you are a Kevin Smith Fanboy.
No, because I hated Cop Out and still haven't seen Clerks 3. People can like and dislike things...who knew?!
Tusk was fucking Oscar worthy compared to this shit.
Also, I heckled Kevin at a con in CT recently. He didn't seem to care. I yelled "what the fuck man?" just in general disgust and bafflement at his recent output. I imagine he gets it a lot lately. These movies show active contempt for people who consume movies. What would Randal think of watching Yoga Hosers with his foot up on the counter?
