VHYES succeeds by using comedy sketches the wrong way Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 02/03/2020
Throughout, "VHYes" laces its nostalgia with bitter poison, reminding its audience that even in the carefree couch potato days of 1987, the end-times always loomed. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Screen International 01/23/2020
The amusing but initially disposable sketch format gathers momentum and a series of mini-threads emerge. Go to Full Review
Daniel Gorman In Review Online 06/04/2021
VHYes is very obviously striving for an Adult Swim brand of absurdity, but there's a reason most of those shows are 15 minutes long. Go to Full Review
Andrew F. Peirce The Curb 07/14/2020
Director Jack Henry Robbins crams an eighties aesthetic into his magnificent feature debut that blasts apart families, nostalgia, capitalism, art, and just about everything else that can be tarnished with the brush of absurd kookiness. Go to Full Review
Andy Crump Paste Magazine 03/11/2020
7.9/10
Cursed words like "Facebook" and "Instagram" are never uttered in VHYes, for obvious reasons, but the movie reads like Robbins' thesis that for as long as people have been able to self-document, they've done so with relish... Go to Full Review

Orlando C @orrman 09/11/2024 Isn't this an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond? See more prawnda s 10/21/2023 i love basically every member of the cast, there's a good amount of funny content here, but there isn't quite enough for it to feel like a feature film. i think if it was one part of a series, i'd view it differently, but as one standalone movie it seems to fizzle out just as the jokes really get started. See more Harrison B @emailaddress 02/13/2022 Great cast, some good bits. Worth watching to see Mark Proksch improvise with Thomas Lennon, and a great live song from Weyes Blood See more 06/30/2021 Maybe I'm just old but it made me laugh. Uplifting to me. See more Nefasto R @Nefasto 09/19/2020 It works well as an homage to 80's TV. But as a movie: kind of skinny and useless. See more 06/29/2020 I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe something a little Tim and Eric esque? It didn't disappoint in that department. Lots of surreal humor and lo-fi public access TV nostalgia, but it held its own. It was oddly sincere, silly, sad, and a little spooky. Really enjoyed this movie. See more Read all reviews
