Product ReviewsYes Man (DVD, 2008)

Some good moments in this latest Jim Carrey release

Jim Carrey (LIAR LIAR, THE NUMBER 23 and many more) stars in this comedy about a man who attends a seminar on how to improve the quality of your life by always saying yes, never no.

Other actors in the movie include Zooey Deschanel (Bridge to Terabithia & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and more), Veteran actor Terence Stamp (Wanted, Red Planet and many more).

Stamp stars as the 'Yes Man" the man with the plan who makes Carrey commit to saying Yes. Along the way Carrey meets Deschanel who is a free spirited musician.

The movie has a good premise and the acting is good.

Their are some very funny parts to this movie but most of the movie is about average as far as comedies go.

I rate this movie a 4 of 5 for good acting and a number of good laughs.

If your a Carrey fan this is a must. If your not a fan but want a couple of good laughs go ahead, its worth the price.Read full review...

Glad To See Another Winner For A Long Time Pro!

Several movies lately just seem to strike a cord for me, and this one has to be one of those that I can totally relate to.

Saying the word "YES" to everything seems to insinuate within the film that, if you just continue saying Yes to every question, you will be more happy and successful. The proof seems to be that Carl (Jim Carrey), after a split with his wife, becomes withdrawn and wants to avoid any situation in his life. This is very typical behavior for people who tend to be totally devastated in life after many unpleasant occurrences leave him squirming in social situations.

Carl is soon invited by an aquaintance to attend a self-help seminar intended to change people who say No to life into people that say Yes. After seeing the results of saying Yes firsthand, Carl says No a few times and finds that he seems to be cursed when he does wind up saying No, so he continues saying Yes to everything. This pays off for Carl which causes a domino effect of good fortune.

The film gets extra funny since he turns from a total introvert into a totally willing and zany extrovert which gives Jim Carrey's character a chance to stage his comic charm. Carl begins to realize that indiscriminately agreeing YES to every request leads him down a path similar to his safe, yet lonely life.

Carl meets Allison (Zooey Deschanel) and become his main love interest. Carl is totally cut off guard with Allison as she is open and as interesting as he dreams a mate should be. After seeing the full side of Allison, he gets past the first glance stage and develops heavy chemistry between them. It turns out, however, saying Yes all the time to her drives her to think he is totally insincere about his love towards her. The story gets really interesting when Carl's Ex-wife approaches Carl again.

Carl's good friend played by Danny Masterson of THAT 70s SHOW's adds and extra nuance of situations to the mix.

That last scene of film gave me a chuckle and allowed the viewer to have a feeling of resolve about leaving a good feeling with a happy ending.

Carl's boss was a gas and actually made the film a bit more interesting, making us aware of how many people in our life just have problems fitting in to our particulars.

I'll give this film a 5/5 for it's honesty and staying on track.

Jim Carry,Hilarious

Love Jim Carrey movies.This is one of his best.A really great,heart warming,feel good, funny comedy.Carry plays "Carl Allen",a man afraid to take chances or even give life a chance.After going to a "yes" seminar,the fun begins.Carry is fabulous.He is just a comic genius.Zooey Deschanel (what a name)is great as "Allison",a woman Carl happens to meet and fall in love with.Very attractive woman.If you like Jim Carrey,see this movie.Not one of his zany off-the-wall comedys,but again one of his best.Read full review...

An excellent reminder!

Although the movie made fun of the "yes!" attitude and lifestyle, I found it very good lesson and reminder to stay open to life and opportunities. In our society cynicism is rampant. To me to be cynical is akin to drinking poison; it does horrible things to you on so many levels. To be negative, aka "No", means there is something amiss with my understanding, usually about myself. In other words, to be negative about something means I am being negative about me. This movie illustrates turning the negative to positive in a very entertaining way. I would give this movie to anyone who is habitually negative. Thank you for making it!Read full review...

yes man dissapoints

I watched this movie. I thought it was a mediocre movie nothing special about it. Yes man is very similar to Jim Carey's previous movie Liar Liar.(U get to see the aged Jim). Story about a lazy person who learns the power of the word yes, it'll bring him opportunities, job promotion & find love of his life. For example, as a loan officer he starts approving every loan request, which will get him a promotion. Jim is a great actor but his previous lines of movies have all been disasters. This one is not as good as Ace ventura sequals but it will give you laughs.Read full review...

YES MAN JIM CARRY MOVIE SHOW REVIEW DVD 2009

You might have heard someone saying "NO" to anything. Not thing will work out thoese sort of things. No has become a major problem to people in this century because there is more competition and people attitude have changed.

This movie has an amazing perspective to change from the word "no"
to "Yes". Jim carry was asked to join this movie in part of a non-successful
bank financial officer. One day he met with his old friend and his friend invited him to join a "yes" event. Everyone in this event will say yes to anything no matter what. This possitive attitude keeps leading to successful
events.

If you are trying to improve your attitude, thinking or mind. You should really see this movie.

Overall great movie 100 / 100 %Read full review...
