Movie reviews Yes man 
 

This is another funny Jim Carrey movie(can't say I have ever seen one that 
wasn't intrinsically hilarious in some way).

The plot is of a tired sales man Carl Allen(Jim Carrey), who happens to wander 
into a feel good seminar where everybody says "Yes" and accepts whatever life 
throws at them, any questions, any requirements from anyone for anything just 
say "Yes" to it. The guru of this new age feel good ground is Terence Bundley 
played by the superb Terence Stamp(General Zod in Superman returns).

Despite Carl's objections he agrees to Terence's advice to just say yes to 
absolutely everything for a whole year, no matter how ridiculous it may sound, 
or strange the request, but as cosmic logic goes(especially in the movies), 
once he has said yes he can't back out. There is a hilariously funny segment 
that sums Jim Carrey at his most funniest, having to entertain an elderly lady 
Tillie played by Fionnula Flanagan, who is surprisingly adept, as I am much 
more familiar with her as the sullen elder Eloise Hawkings in Lost.

Love interest for Carl is provided by Allison played by the lovely Zooey 
Deschanel(Live Free or Die, something about her seems very familiar, she has 
that look of familiarity that you have seen her somewhere but can't quite pin 
it), the meet in a hilarious segment as Allison's rock group are bumbling 
around making songs as they go along as Carl somehow becomes a fan as opposed 
to the other solitary fan in the bar. Allison sees Carl's willingness to say 
yes to everything as a true rebel, and someone to look up to, and the 
inevitable romance begins.

It has some absolute classic moments especially the scenes with Carl and Tillie 
which will go down as one of the scenes of the year for rib tickling laughter.
