Jim Carrey does wonders with a slight premise that finds his reserved, emotionally-distant character, Carl Allen, a banker who routinely turns down loan applications, accepting a challenge to open up to life by saying "yes" to everything. A man who constantly disappoints friends by weasling out of opportunities for bonding and happiness, Carl radically changes into a creature of complete spontaneity. By never saying no anymore, he gets into situations with unpredictable outcomes, such as driving a homeless stranger to a scary-looking park at night. But for the most part, whatever Carl says yes to becomes a road to worthwhile experiences, even receiving a promotion at work for approving hundreds of micro-loans against all policy. Zooey Deschanel, who often plays appealing kooks, is very good as Carl's girlfriend, a free spirit who takes to his positivity about everything--for awhile, anyway. Director Peyton Reed (Down with Love) makes the most out of the gimmicky comedy, as does Carrey, who does wonders with scenes that are often left open-ended just to see what the brilliant comic will do with them. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars Invite Yourself to Yes and RSVP...Yes, December 19, 2008

By	Eric M. Milillo "Emills86" (West Islip, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Yes Man [Theatrical Release] (Theatrical Release)

Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) is a lonely guy. Carl is a loan officer who is real low on life and down in the dumps because of a break up. One day Carl heeds the advice of an old friend and goes to a self-help seminar. The motto "Yes is the new no!" If the movie's title is any indicator, you know what happens for the rest of the film. He says yes to anything and everything, even an extremely generous granny.

Not very often a comedy comes out with a message worth listening to. "Yes Man" provides just that and exposes the audience to the powers of positive thinking. The movie itself is a montage of Carl saying yes to everything; Carl says yes to learning to speak Korean, Carl says yes to costume party invites from his boss, Carl says yes to flying lessons, and yes to a bar fight, which was one of the funniest scenes of Carl's acceptance journey. Eventually, Carl's yes-ery leads to a new love interest named Allison (Zooey Deschanel) and a promotion at work. And despite all the positive outcomes, Carl learns that saying yes doesn't always necessarily take you in the right direction.

"Yes Man" is a lot of fun to watch. Carrey is on top of his game and is still as funny as always. To answer any questions: Yes the movie is funny. Yes it's worth going to see. And yes you'll enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than expected, January 20, 2009

By	B. Bates (Santa Fe, NM USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yes Man [Theatrical Release] (Theatrical Release)

I went to "Yes Man" with my 15 year old daughter just to pass the time, not expecting much based upon Jim Carrey's latest failures. My daughter really enjoyed the movie and I was glad that I went. The movie is predictable, but still very entertaining. If you are a JC fan, then don't pass this one up. I would highly recommend buying the soundtrack for the movie as well, it is very well done except for the glaring omission of the Journey song from the movie climax. See the movie, buy the soundtrack, you will be pleased.

4.0 out of 5 stars If someone asks you to see this film, just say YES, December 29, 2008

By	R. Kyle (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Yes Man [Theatrical Release] (Theatrical Release)

Carl's (Jim Carrey) got a problem. He's ignoring phone calls from his friends, staying home every night watching rented movies. He's in a rut at his job with the Brea Bank and going to get passed over for yet another promotion. Truth is, he's depressed after his divorce from Stephanie (Molly Sims) and it's just not getting better.

Then he runs into a friend whose life has totally turned around. He attends a YES seminar by charismatic Terence Bundley (Terence Stamp). Participants are taught to say YES to life and all its experiences.

This changes Carl's life. He's approving loans, learning Korean, taking up the guitar, learning to fly a plane. Oh and yes, he meets Alison (Zooey Deschanel) who's with a techno band and an early morning jogging photographer's group.

But, there is a limit to being a yes man and Carl's got to learn it....

If you enjoy comedy with a life lesson, go see this film. The audience was laughing. I left there with sides aching and a smile on my face.
