Critics Consensus

VHYes is a unique film for specific tastes -- and a rare, albeit grimy gift for viewers who can appreciate its retro aesthetic and absurd humor.

VHYES succeeds by using comedy sketches the wrong way

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.

The amusing but initially disposable sketch format gathers momentum and a series of mini-threads emerge.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Great cast, some good bits. Worth watching to see Mark Proksch improvise with Thomas Lennon, and a great live song from Weyes Blood

Maybe I'm just old but it made me laugh. Uplifting to me.

It works well as an homage to 80's TV. But as a movie: kind of skinny and useless.
