VHYes

This should have been hilarious. With all the people in this that are hilarious on their own, I have no idea why this is the outcome when you combine them.

Weird is the only word i can think of. not really a movie... just weird clips. the painter lady scares me a little

I came to find out it's just a patchwork of the filmmaker's short films, which I think is slightly lazy.

Annoying anachronistic detail: One vignette features a painting of Dennis Rodman in his red #91 jersey. This film is supposed to be take place in 1987. Dennis Rodman wasn't even playing for the Bulls as #91 until 1995. Again, pretty lazy filmmaking in my opinion.

As a fan of vintage video technology, especially VHS, and the culture VHS birthed in the 80's, I found this film rather insulting.

If I had a complaint about this movie it would be that it had too much packed into such a short film. I am very greedy with a 10 star rating, but this movie really cooked my noodle a bit. I felt something inside me while watching this; I don't know if it was the hi resolution retro quality, the familiarity in the programming, or the bursts of hitting all the channels at the right time. If you have given this movie a low star, please rewatch it and think of another movie that comes close to the genre this director has created. The closest I can think is paranormal activity. To put it concisely, an unusually warm candid experience.

Directed by Jack Henry Robbins. He is the son of Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon.

VHYes is some ways wants to be a nostalgic smorgasboard of late night 1980s television as well showing how camcorders became the precursor of found footage movies.

It is Christmas Day 1987. 12 year old Ralph gets a camcorder as a present and mistakenly uses his parents wedding video tape to record life as he sees it as well as various things on the television.

So you see snippets of shopping channels, learn how to paint shows and even some risque stuff.

It is meant to be an affectionate parody and comes across as zapping through the tv channels at great speed.

However this kind of spoofing was done better in something like Kentucky Fried Movie. Here as I am not American some of it just went over my head. Even If I was American, I doubt I would still find it funny.
