YES MAN

Plot:

Unable to deal with his divorce, Carl Allen (Carrey) begins to detach himself from his friends, co-workers and just having fun - period.He would rather stay at home watching rented movies than party with his best friends Peter (Cooper) and Rooney (Masterson) or his kooky boss who wants to be his friend Norman (Darby) who routinely throws these costume parties. Carl constantly uses the word "No" in his daily life, as a loan officer at a bank he denies every loan and any offers that are presented to him. This soon changes when he encounters an old friend Nick (Higgins) who strongly suggest that he attend a Yes seminar hosted by Terrence Bundley (Stamp), whose motto is say yes to everything. When Carl accepts the quest to say yes to everything, his life takes a tornado spin from a loner to mister popular to finding his true love.

Reel Talk:

It's been awhile since we have seen the silly and hilarious antics that made Jim Carrey the comedic genius he is. Now this is not an all out laugh fest movie but Carrey does what he does best to assure some laughs.So it was refreshing seeing him go old school in this film, because you will get a laugh. He does get a little help from his supporting cast with Zooey Deschanel playing his mysterious love interest, Rhys Darby as his boss Norman who wants to be the man badly and John Michael Higgins as Nick who was very funnyl . Oh yeah and not to mention the horny old lady that is his neighbor. Good movie to see, not only for the laughs but the subliminal messages that it provides about life and love.
