Yes Man is a promising if not altogether fulfilling film. Although the film could inspire it is more of a middle of the way production, which entertains but fails to do anymore.
Zoey Deschanel is lovable and beautiful as the eccentric Alison who bumps into Carl after he begins to say Yes. There chemistry is spot on and just right for the film, providing an engaging relationship. To the credit of Carrey you forget that he is playing Carl he molds into the character very well.
Yes Man does unfortunately become coarse and lewd when it does not need to straying into inappropriate territory as though trying to provide meagre offerings of popular juvenile comedy which have been prominent in recent years.
Rhys Darby as Norman provides the biggest laughs with the Harry Potter themed party and a nod to 300, but on the comedy side of things Yes man is more a gentle showering of laughter.
Yes Man is a good film but it just doesn't either sway to a more serious or more comedic mood, it is pretty linear throughout and it just doesn't have that enchanting factor. Yes, go and see this film as it entertains but it has no element to make it more than just that.
