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.
But
Yes
Man
is
just
free-flowing
chuckle-worthy
humour,
without
telling
you
in
the
end
whether
the
'Yes'
theory
works.
Instead,
we
are
just
reminded
that
it's
not
OK
to
say
Yes,
when
you
actually
should
say
No.
Playing
Jim
Carrey's
love
interest
is
Zooey
Deschanel.
The
elfin
starlet
has
hardly
any
screen
time
when
compared
to
Jim,
but
she
rocks
in
her
role.
Others
on
the
supporting
cast
such
as
Bradly
Cooper
and
Rhys
Darby,
do
contribute
towards
the
fun
in
the
film.
But
it's
Jim
who
rules
the
roost,
so
if
you've
missed
his
presence,
don't
miss
the
movie!
