Yes Man

Carl Allen's life is going nowhere--the operative word being "no"--until he signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say yes to everything--and anything. Unleashing the power of "YES" begins to transform Carl's life in amazing an unexpected ways, getting him promoted at work and opening the door to a new romance. But his willingness to embrace every opportunity might just become too much of a good thing.

Jim Carrey is back to his old tricks, which makes Yes Man the comedy you don't want to miss this holiday season.

Story

Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) is a drag -- a recent divorcee in a dead-end job, who basically has one word for everything: "No!" Then one day he is dragged to one of those super positive, self-help seminars that forces him to say "Yes" to everything or face dire consequences. Thing is, it works. Need Viagra? Yes. Bungee jumping? Yes. A quick hummer by his over-sexed septuagenarian…

PETER TRAVERS - December 17, 2008

Jim Carrey took his lumps for going serious in The Number 23, so he's back to the comedy well of Liar Liar, in which he played a lawyer forced to tell the truth. Now he's a loan officer forced to say yes to applicants and to life. If you're thinking "yuck," you're right. I added the extra star for Zooey Deschanel, who is so delicious as his honey that you want not to say no to Yes Man.
