Yoga Hosers


I'll start off with this; I like Kevin Smith as a filmmaker. I find things to like even in his lesser films, and the 2016 horror-comedy Yoga Hosers is definitely one of his lesser films. In terms of films Smith has directed, only 2010's Cop Out has a lower Rotten Tomatoes score. 

The movie is about two teenage convenience store clerks/best friends who are both named Colleen (these two are played by Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp). After a couple of boys from their school are murdered at the store the Colleens are arrested. In an attempt to prove that the are not responsible, and that the killers are actually mutated Nazi bratwurst (referred to in the film as 'Bratzis') they convince Detective Guy Lapointe (played by Johnny Deep) to help them escape jail. Once they do, they find that under the convenience store, in a secret lair. Living down there is a former Nazi scientist who created the Bratzis and has now constucted a large monster dubbed the "Goalie Golem". So, Colleen and Colleen have to defeat the golem, clear their names, and then the movie is over.

This isn't a very good movie. It suffers from, more than anything, a half-baked screenplay. However, as a dumb lighthearted-hearted comedy it's perfectly watchable. Sure, a good chuck of the jokes don't hit the mark but, there are a few funny lines and the characters are likeable enough.
