Yes man just "okay man"

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2009)

The one was better than Jim Carrey's recent efforts in my opinion, but still it doesn't match up even close to his previously work like "The Mask", "The Cable Guy", "The Truman Show", "Man on the Moon" and all those others. It's okay, but what really bothered me about the movie was the slow poor pacing at times, mostly near the end of the movie. it just got really weird and I started to lose concentration about what was happening. The girl played by Deschanel is not bad, but she needs some caffeine to wake up. The best scene in my opinion is when Jim is convinced to join the Yes convention and Terrence Stamp sits right up close in front of him and puts him on the spot in front of hundreds of people. That was hilarious.
This is one of those movies where in the beginning the guy (Jim Carrey) is unhappy and doesn't want to do anything different with his life, and then a life-changing experience happens (the Yes convention) which leads him to experience new stuff and meet a new girl and then everything goes too far and he becomes miserable. The problem with "Yes man" is that I liked Jim's character much more before he changed and joined the Yes people. It had a few good laughs, I admit, but it was kind of a let down overall.
