Say 'Yes' To 'Yes Man'.

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2009)

I have been wondering what was up with Jim Carrey. Other than 'Horton Hears A Who' I haven't seen much of his recent stuff. With Peyton Reed's 'Yes Man', Carrey returns to comedy. This may not be among Carrey's best or even funniest movies but it draws enough laughter to keep one entertained. The humour isn't too vulgar (for those who easily get offended). Not surprisingly Carrey does a great acting job. It's quite a mature performance when compared to his other comedic characters. He is brilliantly supported by the luminous Zooey Deschanel, Bradley Cooper, a sensual Molly Sims, a charismatic Terence Stamp and a hilariously horny Fionnula Flanagan. The story idea, about a man saying yes to anything, is amusing and well told but at the same time it's very predictable. Another flaw the obvious age difference between Carrey and Deschanel which is pretty huge. Overall, 'Yes Man' is a lighthearted movie. It remains a feel good comedy that one shouldn't mind saying 'Yes' to.
