VHYes

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.

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.

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

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.
