Yes Man is based on the true story and 2005 book Yes Man by Danny Wallace. This is a film starring Jim Carrey in another crazy adventure that only could happen to
In the film, Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) is very withdrawn and depressed since he and his wife divorced. He never goes out, not even to see his friends, a “no man” in a sense. Somehow a friend convinces him to go to one of the seminars that he has gone to for some time now. The seminar is meant to motivate you to say yes and go out and do something with your life. Not really going on with all the mumbo jumbo the guru is talking about, he is call out and is told that he has to do it; he doesn’t have a choice anymore.
After leaving the seminar, he runs into a homeless bum that asks for a ride. With the help of a friend, Carl agrees and goes on a long trip around town trying to find the mans home. When they finally do reach the home, a bunch of branches on the side of the road, Carl notices he has no gas. Somehow he manages to walk back to the gas station were he runs into a girl. Her name is Allison (Zooey Deschanel). The two hit it off as they drive to his car, were she kisses him as she leaves.
Sparked by this sudden good luck, Carl adopts this style of living agreeing to everything. Somehow, in the process of doing this, he is promoted at his job, friends hang out more, and everything turns out to be great until his secret is revealed.
This film has a lot of laughs just like every other Jim Carrey film out there. Don’t be surprised if after you feel like it wasn’t worth the money. There is an appearance of a French skater named Jean- Yves Blondeau that is probably a lot more interesting then this film. Overall it is a good film though considering everything but probably not worth the twenty bucks to get just yet, you should wait a couple months.
