Such a disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (5 July 2009)

When I see on theaters a Jim Carrey movie, I always get excited 'cause their usually quite interesting and nice, though I haven't seen him yet doing a great performance. "Yes man" was just disappointing. Although it could be considered as a good idea, the whole movie ends up failing for having the typical cheap romance comedy structure.
There are several elements from the script that are very good (Mocking blockbusters such as Harry Potter and 300, the psychosis of the American government for Carrey's character buying an Arabic wife and learning to fly...) However, it is so obvious that ignorant producers have changed the film, and turned it in a poor romance comedy, a genre that Carrey would have to consider continuing, 'cause the typical character, the single-irresponsible man it's just not for him at his 47 years old. It is time for Carrey to move on and to start doing some real acting. The rest of the cast is just barely decent.
It's sad to see such a talented actor in such a poor movie
