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.

When you watch a movie and you can't stop thinking about it for days after, you know you have watched a good movie. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for even a second, because this movie moved quickly and kept your attention the entire time. I recognized some of the show segments as if I had seen them before. It reminded me of watching strange late night tv while I was half asleep at hotels. The ending was unpredictable and gave me something to think about. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

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.

'VHYes' first came onto my radar last year when it received a lot of positive feedback at Fantastic Fest. It didn't sound particularly like my type of movie, so it took me a while to get arounds to seeing it. I only had time for a short runtime film tonight and at only 72 minutes 'VHYes' fit the bill perfectly. I will always be a person who enjoys a film with more of a narrative, but I was certainly able to appreciate 'VHYes' for what it was. There is some very clever and well edited humour in this film.

Considering the amount of ideas this film tries out its actually quite astonishing how many of them work. Some don't, but that is okay because they never last particularly long. The biggest stand out for me was Kerri Kenney. She was hilarious. Also her 'Reno 911' cast mate Thomas Lennon was in fine form. They're so great in off-beat comedies.

I think the short runtime was a good decision for the film. I enjoyed it for what it was, but I probably would have started to get sick of it pretty quickly had it run much longer. There are some fun cameos to look out for too, so keep your eyes open.

A unique film for a unique personality/ sense of humour. If you're into this kind of thing you'll love it.
