OneEightNine Media Yup, that was a step down. I love Jim Carry but he looked way too old for the role. But that wasn't the main problem with the film. Long story short - it is not funny and a totally forgettable movie.
excruder Saw the movie in early 2009, had to re-watch it to give it a fair rating. Definitely a good comedy film that kept me interested in the genre as a whole. Jim Carrey always one of my favorite comedic actors played a good and interesting role on his part. Big ups to Zoeey Deschanel, Have not seen much of her previous work, maybe a film or two, made me interested in catching her other ones. Interesting plot, have not seen much like it before, Jim Carrey certainly made his role unique, which I think he always does, he is just that sort of a character in my opinion. The movie kept me interested in watching the full 1 hour and 40 minutes, which a lot of movies fail to accomplish. My recommendation is to watch the movie but do not have your hopes up too high.
lisafordeay 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-
ldblackdevil Yes man is a hilarious comedy about a man, Carl Allen, who said « No » at everything since his girlfriend broke with him. One day, at his work, he crosses an old friend who told his about a program that changed his life : you must say YES to everything ( Yes man). He will discover the Yes power. This is the funniest movie I've seen. When I feel sad, I look at this film and I forget all my problems. I smile throughout the film. Further, the cast is really attractive -> Jim Carey, Bradley Cooper and Zooey Deschanel. If you want to have a good time and relax, you need to watch this movie
