Yoga Hosers, written by Kevin Smith, “centers on 15-year-old yoga nuts Colleen Collette (Lily-Rose Depp) and Colleen McKenzie (Harley Quinn Smith) who have an after-school job at a Manitoba convenience store called Eh-2-Zed. When an ancient evil rises from beneath Canada’s crust and threatens their big invitation to a Grade 12 party, the Colleens join forces with a legendary man-hunter from Montreal named Guy Lapointe (Depp) to fight for their lives with all seven Charkas, one Warrior Pose at a time.“

Kevin Smith's daughter is funny. Her sense of humor is very much like her dad's would be if he was a teenage girl. If she can act, then he raised the perfect female protagonist for his movies.

Where is all the promo for this? I thought it was supposed to get a pretty big release but looks like it's just slugging to its release.

I have faith in Kevin Smith. He's the only filmmaker, and this is true, who has yet to have made a film I didn't like in some way. That's not to say I love every movie he's made, just that I've found something enjoyable in each one. I can't even say that about directors I like more, like Romero, Argento, Carpenter, Kubrick and other more highly considered directors. They've all made at least one film I just plain didn't like. Not so with Smith.

Anyway, this one looks like it should be good for a few laughs. I'm getting a kind of Clerks meets Dogma kind of vibe from it.

I think Johnny Depp and his daughter not really being able to do too much promo probably had some effect.

I like Kevin.. more so when he's telling stories than directing movies.. but his daughter and Lily Rose seem like they have potential. I'm checking it out ASAP. (bong)

Going by reviews, this looks like it's another one of his "love it or hate it" films. I've always enjoyed Smith's movies, even those typically thought of as his lesser works, so I'll probably be checking this out.

I've heard NOTHING but terrible things about this. It's so hated that I'm really curious to watch it myself. It's on Netflix.

It's made that little because Smith has opted to tour with his films himself now instead of seeking distribution and release deals. He's pretty much set for life courtesy of his live appearances, his previous films and their royalties, etc., and he never was much for having to work within the limitations of the studio system in the first place, so he can afford to four wall his movies now. This flick won't make a lot of money, but that's okay, because it doesn't need to as far as Smith is concerned. Whether the movie is good or bad, I mean, you've gotta admire that. That's the true independent spirit right there.

That said, I've also heard a lot of negative things about this flick, but the same can be said for many of his post-Dogma flicks yet I've always managed to be entertained by them in some aspect, anyway. I was actually just trying to decide if I should watch this flick or binge some Burn Notice on Netflix, in fact. But I think I'll save it for tonight, when I can watch it sans interruptions.

Oh I know that. I knew this had an insaaaanely limited release (not quite Pet level limited where it was only in one theater for one weekend, I think, but still). If a film makes under a million bucks I automatically assume that it only played in fifty theaters - probably even fewer - so it's not to be held against them.

I see box office totals as more of a 'fun fact' sort of thing and it's just a weird hobby of mine, looking them up once every couple of months for all of the releases I'm interested in. Don't worry, I'm not one of those "oh, this bombed at the box office so it MUST be a terrible film so I'm too good to watch it" snobs by any means. (lol)

I only show reeeeal concern for a film's box office intake if it signals a possible new trend when it comes to wide release horror films (a slasher film suddenly making over two hundred million may lead to more slashers in the following years for example - we saw that with the paranormal craze and found footage craze) or if it's a beloved franchise. I ALWAYS want franchise entries to do well even if the latest one is a film I absolutely HATE because it means that, hey, we might've gotten this piece of crap but we can at least count on getting one that just might blow our minds in the next three years. Final Destination is a great example of that. I didn't care for the fourth film but I was happy to see that it made nearly $200,000,000 and sure enough - two years later we got the fifth film which is one of the best of the series.

Aaaand now I'm ranting, my bad. (lol)

The 2nd film in Smith's True North Trilogy. The first being Tusk. I don't know which one I like more, not that either one are particularly great. I love Kevin Smith, but his horror films have been really hit or miss. As if he doesn't trust himself completely to be more scary than funny in these recent movies of his. Red State might be his best, in this regard then. Anyway, at least he's having a blast. Especially working with his daughter and his daughter's friend. At least Tusk was great up until Guy LaPointe showed up. I mean, the character isn't bad and Depp plays him well enough there and in this flick, but less is more, you know. And again, going along with the more scary than funny desire, Guy needs to be more serious than buffoonish, IMO. If we're to follow him. Then again Yoga Hosers as a whole is a comedy from the get-go. Not that Tusk didn't start out as a bit of a comedy, but I was less disappointed with Hosers' ending than I was with Tusk's ending because Smith didn't fully commit to his idea of a man-walrus. Horror-wise. When you have Bratzis in your movie though I guess you can be more ridiculous than you ever thought possible. Although Ralph Garman's wheel of impressions at the end wore thin on me. If you're not a Kevin Smith fan, I'd definitely skip this flick. It's all in good fun though.

Smith's horror films ranked:
Red State > first half of Tusk > Yoga Hosers > Halloween segment from Holidays > second half of Tusk

I think preteen me would have liked this okay, but I'm not sure exactly where it would have ranked. I like the idea of making this for young girls, but I can feel the lockout from being too old for it.
