Yes man - 3 stars out of 10
Jim Carrey was better in this ype of role 15 years ago. The film was entertaining and had a good bottom line. It also had a lot of cheesy dialogue and felt that it could use the excuse "He has to say yes" to put him into "funny" situations, even if they are irrelevant to the plot. Did they really think that we wouldn't notice that it is the EXACT SAME PLOT AS LIAR, LIAR, only with a much older Carrey? Instead of "Yes Man, this movie should've been called "Watch Jim Carrey Do Random Things For An Hour, Including Some Majorly Nasty Thing With An Old Woman." Zooey Deschanel was good and I give the producers star just for putting The Ghost and Mr. Chicken into the film, but this just isn't Jim Carrey's role anymore. He has had some amazing dramatic roles like The Majestic, The Number 23, and The Truman Show - this film reminded me that Carrey can still act but the glory days of Liar, Liar and Ace Ventura are past.
