Jim Carrey finally returns to comedy in this novel adaptation about a man who pledges to say YES to everything...
Finally, after losing great comedians like Mike Meyers to utter shit movies, we get a return to grace from another fallen (Canadian) comedian - Jim Carrey is back in a funny movie. Can we just forget about chaff like The Number 23?
In an adaptation from the book of the same name, Yes Man is about a man who says "No" to everything in his life, and ends up cutting himself off from new experiences, people, and opportunities - so in a revelation he makes the choice to say "Yes" to everything for one year - "Spare some change?" "Want a drink?" "Can you help me move this weekend?" Yes, Yes, Yes!
From the trailer, the film looks very Liar Liar (the concept is similar as well) - but it's not a bad thing, as Liar Liar was pretty funny. It's good to see Carrey return to his roots. Ace Ventura 3 anyone??
The film also co-stars Danny Masterson of That 70s Show and the hot little package with an unfortunate name Zooey Deschanel - it's due in theaters this year! Keep an eye out for it!
