The 10 Worst Movies of 2016

Still from Invincible Pictures

4. Yoga Hosers

Kevin Smith has said he’s more interested in making movies for himself than mass audiences…though he’d love to get your money, okay, thanks bye! (This is coming from someone who loves Smith’s films pre-his discovery of Canada.) Yoga Hosers is a Smith family portrait masquerading as a legitimate movie. The story of two teenage girls (Smith’s daughter Harley Quinn and Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily Rose) defeating Nazi bratwursts and navigating date rape is marketed by Smith himself as an 80’s movies he’d want to see if he was a girl. There’s your problem right there!

Smith doesn’t have any knowledge of young girls past the end of his own nose. I doubt he asked his own daughter to define her experiences. Harley Quinn Smith and Lily Rose Depp give dead-eyed performances accented with overutilized “aboots.” The frame is filled with Snapchat/Facebook messages because, kids! If these two are the future of acting, we’re in a lot of trouble. When the film is a teen movie things are a bit interesting, if only to see what Smith assumes teenagers do all day – not a lot. When he tries to inject actual plot, he goes for the fantastical (Nazi bratwurst) instead of the real plot that does involve a real live date rapist. Maybe Smith didn’t want to disparage men, but he ends up belittling women, young and old, everywhere.
