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.

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.
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.

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.
