‘Yoga Hosers’ Clip: Kevin Smith’s Latest Sundance Flick Looks Like Canadian ‘Clerks’
This weekend brings the premiere ofKevin Smith’s latest indie effort, the horror comedyYoga Hosers, at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. There isn’t a trailer for the film just yet, but the writer/director who launched his career at the indie film fest decided to tease what’s waiting for all of us catching flicks in the mountains with the firstYoga Hosersclip.
Harley Quinn Smith(the filmmaker’s daughter) andLily-Rose Depp(daughter ofJohnny Depp, who also stars in the film) take the leads in the movie, and here we get to see that they’re not too far removed from a couple of characters that Smith’s fans should be very familiar with.
Here’s the firstYoga Hosers clip straight fromKevin Smith on YouTube:
There’s undoubtedly aClerksvibe from this clip, just with some Canadian flare andScott Pilgrim vs the Worldvisual style. And much likeClerksis a quintessential 90s film, this clip gives off the same kind of vibe for the millennial generation. However, this movie isn’t just a couple of dead end twentysomethings stuck working behind a counter and talking about Star Wars the whole movie.
The acting leaves something to be desired, but if there’s supposed to be aClerksquality to this movie, let’s not forget that Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson weren’t exactly the best actors either. It seems like both the young Smith and Depp are exaggerating their delivery to fit in with the movie’s heightened reality. Hopefully the movie has some fun to offer.
If you want to know Hosers, here’s the official synopsis:
Colleen and Colleen are BFFs AF. Manitoba is where they go to school together, do yoga together, play in a band together, and work together at a boring convenience store. Life is whatevs, but also on fleek. That’s kinda what being 15 and a half is all about. #RealTalk
So when two older guys invite the Colleens to a senior party, the girls are determined to go no matter what—even if that “what” is a terrible, secret evil that threatens to destroy everything decent and polite about Canada. Can Colleen and Colleen save the day and go viral? Will those senior boys prove squad-worthy? And what was that about a convenience store? I swear it sounded familiar…
Yoga Hosersis playing the Sundance Film Festival but doesn’t have an official release date yet.
