Yes Man is the much-awaited funny Jim Carey movie that hit the big screen this past weekend.
Carl Allen (Jim Carey) is a bitter man that avoids company like water on a duck’s back including his best friend (Bradley Cooper) always saying “NO” at every opportunity. He excels in finding excuses to avoid doing anything with anyone until a friend of his introduces him to a motivational guru (Terence Stamp) who teaches people to say ‘Yes’ to life! It turns his life around leading to hilarious situations!
In the course of his ‘yes’ campaign, Carl meets Allison (Zooey Deschanel) who is a happy-go-lucky free-spirited eccentric young girl and they both ride the emotional boat over the rough waters of life. “Yes” leads Carl to realize that just as he didn’t have to say “No” all the time, he doesn’t have to say “yes” all the time too.
Peyton Reed directs.
Cool movie…don’t expect too much though. Good laughs especially from Jim Carrey and Rhys Darby (playing his boss at the bank). If you want to see a funny movie this weekend, go for Yes Man.
My rating: 3.0 stars. (Rated PG-13. Running time: 1 hour 44 mins.)
