The power of yes
Jim Carrey stars in this comedy about a man living a pitiful existence, who discovers a new, radical concept - say yes to everything.
As the title suggests, this film is about the power of yes. The idea that being agreeable to all of life’s suggestions, will somehow empower you, and make your life more enjoyable. This is not quite the case for Carl (Carrey), who, at first, does enjoy the fruits of an existence lived in the affirmative, but finds out that life is about more than a simple answer.
His journey goes into more exciting times when he stumbles across kooky wild chick Allison (Zooey Deschanel), whom he falls in love with. Their relationship, however, quickly begins to suffer at the hands of Carl’s lifestyle choice as it spirals out of control.
A funny film with a brilliant performance by Carrey (reminiscent of his good old days). Yes Man makes some pointed comments about modern life, whilst arranging an entertaining love story that will appeal to the mainstream. On the predictable side, and utilizes some worn out rom-com methods, but apart from that, Yes Man remains a commendable comedy.
Also, look out for an awesome rant by Carrey after a homeless man causes him to be left stranded without gas in his car or life in his mobile phone - hilarious.
