A generally light rom-com that isn't as quite as madcap as some of Carrey's other stuff but is kind of better for it.

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2018)

'Yes Man (2008)' ultimately has a good message and a few funny moments to go along with it but is pretty tame for one of Carrey's comedies, feeling more like a generically light mid-to-late-2000s rom-com than anything the zany star would be more typically known for (despite some more ostentatiously over-the-top sequences). There's also quite a large (and somewhat cringe-inducing) age gap between its two stars and a generally 'old-fashioned' feel to much of the proceedings, even if the end result is ultimately an enjoyable one. 6/10
