Hilarious and thought provoking.

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2010)

Yes Man is a return to what Jim Carrey does best. This film was hilarious. It runs the fine line of down right stupid and genius almost perfectly. Providing comedy for everyone, no matter what your taste.
The basic premise is that there is a man who must follow a set of rules. In this case, to say yes to every proposition he is faced with. It follows much of the same premise as Carrey's Liar Liar from 1997. This involves Carrey engaging in a set of hilarious set ups ranging from bungee jumping to learning the guitar. This gives the film a nice pace which never slows down at any point because something new is always going to happen when you say yes to everything.
From this comes such a sense of fun. You can tell all members of the film had a lot of fun making this film and I believe that that transcends on to the audience.
Aside from being funny, this film has also an unexpected twist. It makes the audience think. About all the things they say no to. And so people think about how their life is (or would be) when/if they say 'Yes'! I'm not suggesting you try this for the rest of your days. But the next time you are presented with a choice, try saying yes. See where it leads you. It worked for Mr.Carrey.
Where as I don't believe this is Jim Carrey's best movie (In my opinion that is The Mask) it does a damn fine job of making it's audience laugh. Especially considering it was a winter film. (When people need cheering up the most.) It also puts you in the mind set of everything you could say yes to in the summer.
If you do watch this, see it with a large group of people and make a pact to say yes from now on.
