Jim Carrey's roots

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2011)

There are always two things going through my head when I watch movies like "The Truman Show" or "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind". The first thing is that Jim Carrey is truly a tremendous actor that could do well in a wide variety of genres. The second thing is: "I'm sad, I'm going to watch an Ace Ventura movie". What I'm trying to say is that he's really versatile, and "Yes Man" definitely caters to the classic Carrey fans. He's everything you expect him to be in this one: he's unbelievably energetic, he's loud, he's wild, and he cracks you up every five seconds or so. In one scene they just make him drink Red Bull and the rest sorta writes itself, it's all as vintage Carrey as can be. Rich man's Katy Perry Zooey Deschanel is also really good in this movie, because at least she manages to rise above being the lame, bland love interest you usually have to put up with in this sort of movie. She actually has a personality, what more could you want? Caring for the obligatory love subplot in a blockbuster comedy has never been closer to possible than in this movie. "Yes Man" is just an hilarious comedy, totally worth seeing.
