Yes Man

Yes Man
Starring Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Bradley Cooper, Rhys Darby & Molly Sims

Thank Paris that "Yes Man" - the 2008 find-what's-really-important-in-life-via-some-abnormal-way comedy - steered away from the magic-laced plot of "Click" or even "Liar Liar". Jim Carrey's character, Carl Allen, chose to say "Yes" to everything, contradictory to what the trailers lead you to believe.

However, the plot still worked like the previously mentioned examples. It's not logical or realistic for a grown man, who seems reasonably intelligent, to agree with everything in order to unclog his life. Sure, it worked with learning Korean or learning how to fly an airplane, but when the quirky Allison (Zooey Deschanel) and Carl are running from a security guard, Carl is not empowered by agreeance; there is no spell cast on him.

Thus, the entire plot does not work. Pity. They only reason, "Yes Man" does not receive a "F" is because I laughed. Yes, yes, yes, yes... I laughed a few times. Ugh. Shoot me.

Grade: D+

OMG is Jim Carrey hilarious in this movie.

I was going to take my young kids to see this movie because the tv commercials looked so good. Luckily I decided to see it online first .. it's definately not for 10-year olds!

Take my advice and check it out first if you have kids. I was able to watch yes man online first.

In fact, I watch movies at that site all the time.

But the movie is great for adults.
