Colleen Collette (Lily-Rose Depp) and Colleen McKenzie (Harley Quinn Smith) are the store clerks from Kevin Smith's previous indie Tusk. The Colleens are best friends for most of their 15 and a half years. The sophomores are excited being invited to a 12th grade party until they face miniature Nazi bratwurst soldiers.
This has a few fun moments mostly by the clueless phone-obsessed girlie chemistry of the Colleens. The "About" can get repetitive. Kevin Smith is making the broadest of Canadian references like naming the high school Terry Fox. Oddly, he tackles a real name from Canadian Nazi past. Like Red State, he doing political satire in very broad strokes which doesn't really work. He goes down some strange paths which is not to everybody's tastes. If anything, the girls work best doing more realistic stuff like getting their phones taken away. The Colleens are wacky enough that they could exist in a more normal story. It's just that Kevin Smith is on weird trip and not everybody will enjoy the ride.

weird Kevin Smith
This isn't the real world. This is Canada.
Collen C. (Lily-Rose Depp) and Collen M. (Harley Quinn Smith) are sophomores who work at the Canadian "Eh-2-Zed" convenience store where they practice their band in the back room. They take yoga at the strip mall from Yogi Bayer. One night Puppetmaster style Nazi bratwurst invade the store....
The film is comedy and not horror. It makes fun of everything Canadian, more so than "Canadian Bacon." I originally believed this was made by Canadians making fun of themselves until I saw this was shot in California. Too late. I already laughed. The film also makes sport of our over crazed smart phone teens who love celebrity and everything outside of the real world...also the target audience-whoops. The humor was quirky. I loved "Pucky Charms" cereal as well as the girls inability to sing and their gems like, "Nothing is as bad as Canadian Idol." Stupid, smart, and fun. This is not for everyone.
Guide: No swearing, sex or nudity. Sexual references. You must do a shot every time someone says "aboot" and feel free to stop 10 minutes into the film.
Silly, with tongue in cheek.
I have seen reviews here bashing the movie. Yoga Hosers is no Godfather. This is obvious. I have been watching Kevin Smith movies for nearly 25 years. Instead, look at the fun the actors are having. This movie stars Johnny Depp, his kids, with Kevin Smiths daughter, Johnny Depp's ex girlfriend and mother of his children, Kevin Smith and wife, Jason Mewes, Stan The Man Lee....all of these people friends. It was done for fun, and to poke fun at Canada and millenial culture. If I had the pull and the money, I'd do it too. Kevin Smith does this, every now and then grabs up his friends and makes something silly, and goes back to making the movies that earn huge amounts of money. Does no one remember the line from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? You make the safe film, then you make the art film. And sometimes, you make a film for your friends. That is Kevin Smith. Sometimes he just wants to have fun with his friends. The relationship Kevin Smith has with his daughter is one that every father should dream of having. Or am I the only one moved by seeing Harley Quinn Smith in tears when Kevin Smith gave her the bat used by Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad as a gift? And Depp. It is like he has a side of him that reasonates with Kevin Smith. He plays a lot of roles in movies, but seeing him onscreen during one scene with his daughter and cracking wise that she may not be old enough for what he is talking about was great. The movie is not in my top fifty, but it was nice to see friends and family making jokes and enjoying themselves.
