TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

ibrarsiddiqi Stumbled upon this film whilst browsing the DVD section of the local Poundland so I couldn't resist both a great film with Jim Carrey and bargain. Carrey's comedic talent is suited to the story-line and it cheered me immensely after going through an intense period in my life.The story centres around Carl whose life is an rut of negativity, he's in job with little prospect, avoids any social contact with close friends and is nursing a huge hole in his heart. One day, whilst eating lunch outside work close friend Nick tells him how he's turned his life around by saying yes to life. Nick throws a rock through the glass-front leaving with a leaflet in his hand to attend a meeting of this.Carl's scepticism leads him still to attend a meeting full of Yes people where upon he says no and meets Terence (Terence Stamp) who immediately changes Carl's mindset bringing home an avalanche of positivity, good luck and romance.The film is brilliant, it's similarity in someway to Bruce Almighty brings home a very positive message to us all.Prepare to say Yes and enjoy!

srdjan_veljkovic This is a job well done. It has a coherent story (for a comedy), a good theme/message, is acted well (Jim Carey overacts, but you expect that from him), the casting is spot on, and it is directed without any significant issues. It is both fun and funny.It is not perfect, though. The jokes are not extremely funny or original. Directing, while fine, isn't original or by any other means remarkable. The realism could also be higher, as the tension/fun that the move away from realism brings isn't payed back well. As you can expect, the same goes for acting. Zoey Dechanel is very cute, but, quite unremarkable. Both her and Bradley Cooper are superbly cast, as he makes a great stereotypical best friend, but he too just doesn't do much more then "play by the book".As for the "message", I must protest to any message that inspires you to say "No" to Molly Sims. :)OK, I was kidding, but, to make a point - even the message, and that particular scene with Molly Sims, is fine, but not inspiring.

The Grand Master Jim Carrey cemented his reputation as one of the biggest actors in the 1990's with a string of hit comedies. He briefly tried to go serious with dramedies The Truman Show (1998) and Man on the Moon (1999) with moderate success however he tried to branch off with the tearjerker The Majestic (2001) and the dark thriller The Number 23 (2007) however both were not successful. Jim Carrey returns to what he does best with Yes Man. Though Yes Man had some moments, I thought most of the movie reminded me a lot of Liar Liar (1997) in terms of the plot outline thus giving it a very derivative feel.Jim Carrey plays a miserable bank loan officer named Carl Allen who frequently turns down loan applications from clients as well as avoiding his friends Pete (Bradley Cooper) and Rooney (Danny Masterson) whenever they try to invite him out. Carl has an increasingly negative outlook on life, particularly after divorcing his wife. After being roped into visiting a seminar led by inspirational guru Terrence Bundley (Terence Stamp), Carl starts to turn his life around by saying Yes instead of No to things in life. This also leads him to meet a young woman named Allison (Zooey Deschanel) who he also falls in love with.We get to see the Jim Carrey of old in Yes Man however this movie is nothing new here. Depending on what mood you are in you may like it, but it just didn't feel the same.5/10.

myunghoonjoo Yes! You live your life! That is what this movie is about. If you are already doing it, then you really know your own way to be happy. But there are some people who struggle to find their own freedom, and lock themselves up in prison called Eyes of Society. I am going to give them an inkling that might set themselves free. This is story of Carl who has been living in boredom. He has a negative look on his life, but becoming a "Yes Man" changes his life completely. Famous comedy actor Jim Carry played Carl, and he was flawless in the film.Someone like me will have sympathy for Carl because Carl is mirror image of me. Carl has a simple life(such as working every week, buying food, and watching TV then going to bed). Doing the same thing day in, day out gives him ennui. I feel for him. After watching how Carl's life changes I felt the urge to do things that I had in my mind for a long time. Such things like learning how to play piano, taking an acting class, and participating in a tango club on weekend make me feel alive, and satisfied. Money can not buy me these emotions because it never did and never will.I want you to look Carl carefully, and hope that you would feel the same way that I did. If some of you are experiencing this, then I highly recommend you to see this film. If I do something that I want, I always consider what other people might think of me, because I care so much about how people see me. I have been hiding my interests from everyone around me. Apparently I wanted to be a good person. Unfortunately the more I tried, the less I felt happy or satisfied. Carl may have the answer for you, just like he gave it to me.
