Yes Man

Jim Carrey returns to the big screen as Carl Allen, a bank loan officer who never quite learned how to say…yes.  His job suits him, giving him plenty of opportunities to say no to quite a lot of people, the problem is, he says no to quite literally everything. When a friend tells him about being a yes man, Carl reluctantly agrees to go to a seminar that will help him say the magical word.  Following the seminar, Carl has to say yes to everything, and initially it brings him very good fortune.  When he starts saying yes to things he doesn’t want, the hilarity ensues.  My analysis is below, here is the theatrical one-sheet from the film:

The Theatrical One-Sheet for Yes Man

This film was pretty hilarious based on the situations that Jim Carrey’s character was subjected to.  I laughed the entire time, and the audience around me seemed to enjoy the film as well.  The only degrading mark that I’d give this film is based on its originality.  It struck me as extremely similar to Carrey’s 90’s hit Liar Liar.  With that said, however, I’d give this film 4 out of 5 stars.
