I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This film tells of a banking official who, because he is dissatisfied with his life, adheres to a positivist theory that promises to change his life if he stops saying no to everything. The theory, of course, was something to take with discernment, but Carl adopts it in a radical way, which brings him several and hilarious confusions, especially from the moment he meets Allison. The two roles are played by Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel, respectively, and both are excellent in the role, particularly Zooey. Terence Stamp plays the guru of self-esteem.The movie is interesting. It deals with a current theme that is low-self-esteem that affects us quite often at times. The need to face life in a cheerful and positive way. The jokes are good, although it's not a jaw-dropping movie. They are mainly based on situations created by the psychological inability of the central character to say no. The novel intertwines well in history and gives it a rational outcome. It's an interesting movie, especially for those who are accustomed to a crazier Jim Carrey. He is undoubtedly a quieter and quieter character than most of the actor's comic characters.

Yes Man (2008): Dir: Payton Reed / Cast: Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Terence Stamp, Bradley Cooper, Danny Masterson: Yes, they screwed up this comedy about opportunities. It stars Jim Carrey as a divorcée who tries to avoid people until he is enrolled in a program that focuses in changing our attitudes towards better change. Starts out well until becoming routine and predictable. Directed by Payton Reed who made the wonderfully clever and underrated Down With Love as well as the low grade romantic dud The Break-Up. Here he surpasses The Break-Up but comes nowhere near the perfection of his Renee Zellweger effort. Carrey does his best as a guy who gave up on life only to find it again. He has his ups and downs in massive and sometimes comic overload but he holds the film together where everything else falls apart. Zooey Deschanel plays a singer he encounters but despite her efforts, the role is cardboard. Terence Stamp as the guy whom Carrey seeks with regards to this life change is an embarrassment and beneath Stamp's talent. Bradley Cooper appears as one of Carrey's few friends whom he ticks off. The film is well made from a technical stand point with an interesting point of view but its delivery is far from approving. Despite a message about living life and embracing opportunities the film only seems eager to present humour that most people should say, "no" too. Score: 5 ½ / 10

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.

Jim Carrey is one if not my favourite comedic actor of all time. His quirky,silly,over the top and just down right insane is one word to describe him as a whole. So he decided to star in his romantic comedy debut(since all the other films he starred in were just comedies and not romantic) and it shows in this movie that his not as funny as he used to be.Here he plays a man called Carl Allen,a depressed banker(like his charcther in The Mask, Stanley Ipkiss who was also a banker)who always says no to everything.All Carl does on his night out is rent DVDs and spends some time with himself,as he suffered a marriage breakdown with a girl called Stephaine and his just laying cool. But when a friend of his invites him to go to a conference held by Terrence Stamp who persuades Carl to say Yes to everything, things starts happening like one where he meets and falls for a quirky singer songwriter named Alison(played by singer songwriter/actress Zooey Deschanel)who Carl met in a petrol station,and they spend some time together during their time together like going to a no- entry concert hall,gong to Nebraska for a weekend and of course fall for each other. But will he and Alison get together in the end well you have to see the film to know what is happening.Like I said Jim Carrey is a funnyman. His serious roles just don't suit him at all as without his over the top charm,his just a boring dull guy. And well.........it shows in this film. I enjoyed it as it was on last night and parts of it was funny but it was a bit boring as it wasn't Jim Carrey's best. Jim might as well quit acting and start something else.5/10Out of 5 stars 2.5/5C-
