A Terrific Comedy from Carrey!

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2009)

Yes Man is Jim Carrey's latest comedy, and I have got to admit I was not too terribly excited before viewing this film, but upon seeing it I was pleasantly surprised.
Yes Man's premise is simple and direct. Jim Carrey's character basically attends a self help seminar that teaches its participants to say Yes to everything in life. As Carrey begins to do just that it leads to many funny and endearing sequences, resulting in him not only learning to live life, but also finding love as well.
Yes Man was a truly terrific time at the movies and was quite possibly my favorite comedy I have seen in sometime. Jim Carrey was as usual terrific in this film, but the other supporting players, such as Zooey Deschanel, were excellent as well. Thanks to the film's terrific cast the laughs continued to come. My only minor problem was that the film is very slow to the start, it takes nearly 15-20 minutes for it to really have its first good laugh, but once you reach that point the laughs do not stop till the credits roll. Putting it simply, if you are a fan of Jim Carrey's other comedies such as Bruce Almighty and Liar, Liar, you will feel at home here and love this film.
I give Yes Man a hilarious 9 out of 10!
