Yes Man Story

Yes Man is a comedy, Romance film. The film is based loosely on the true story and 2005 book Yes Man by British humourist Danny Wallace (who has a cameo appearance in the film). A guy challenges himself to say "yes" to everything for an entire year. Carl Allen is at a standstill. No future... Until the day he enrolls into a personal development program based on a very simple idea: say yes to everything Carl discovers with amazement the magical power of "Yes", and sees his professional and romantic life turned upside down overnight: an unexpected promotion and a new girlfriend. But he'll soon discover that better can be good's enemy, and that all opportunities shouldn't be taken. The banker Carl Allen is a lonely man with low self-esteem after his divorce with Stephanie, for whom he still yearns. He avoids his best friend Peter. He has a boring job, stalled in a bureaucratic position in the loan department of a bank; and he spends his spare time watching DVDs. When he meets by chance his former high school mate Nick, he is convinced to participate of a self-help program called "Yes Man" leaded by the guru Terrence Bundley. The basic principle of the program is to say "yes" to new situations, leaving the negativism aside. Carl misunderstands the concept and says "yes" to every question. While leaving the encounter, he helps a homeless man and in the end of the night he meets the gorgeous Allison that helps him with her scooter. His life completely changes with his new attitude.

Yes Man Critics Review

filmibeat.com
If you decided to say 'Yes' to everything in life, would that make you a better person and enhance your life? Not exactly, but in the movie Yes Man, you could let others have a good laugh!

Following the lines of Liar Liar, Jim Carrey's latest comic flick is about a dreadfully morose guy who is inspired by a self-help guru to say 'Yes' to everything and see how it transforms his dull life into something wild and unpredictable.

But like we said before, though it doesn't exactly make him eternally blissful, at least it helps him be more positive in life. Obviously, the comedy arises or is expected to arise from those instances where Jim should have actually said 'No!' but instead, thanks to his new learning, goes ahead and says 'Yes'. The outcome is painful in some cases but always manages to tickle a certain percentage of the audience.

If you go expecting the usual from Jim Carrey funny faces, ridiculously silly sequences, and bizarre sounds then you won't be disappointed.

But if you expect something different, probably the subtle humour of The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind or the innovative touch of The Truman Show or the insanity of The Mask, you are in for disappointment. Liar Liar has a philosophical side to it.
