Yes Man Movie (2008) [DVD 2009]
Plot of Yes Man
Carl Allen has stumbled across a way to shake free of post-divorce blues and a dead-end job: embrace life and say yes to everything. Working every funny bone in his nimble body and every muscle in his hilariously mobile face, Jim Carrey plays Carl in a YEScapade about opening up to life's possibilities especially when those possibilities include romance with an intriguing, free-spirited musician (Zooey Deschanel). From the director of The Break-Up comes an invitation to discover the comedy power of yes.
Review of Yes Man
I must admit, I have never been a huge fan of Jim Carry, although there have been a number of movies that I really enjoyed, including his roles way back on In Living Color.  Once he went out on his own in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, I agreed with the critics that the movie was terrible, however, the movie goers did enjoy the movie and it was a box office success and began to catapult Carrey into an astronomical career.  Soon afterwards, The Mask was released, and was a much better movie for many reasons including much better writing, directing and acting, including a great performance by Carrey.  But to me, his performances were up and down and I did not always agree with the critics (who stopped being critical of him and would give good reviews for mediocre movies) or the movie goers.  I did not like Dumb and Dumber (although there were some great scenes) or Cable Guy.  His simply acting stupid with writing for cheap laughs just did not cut it for me.  However, there were some movies that were fantastic, including The Truman Show, Simon Birth and Man on The Moon, that showed that he does have real some acting talent.   Yes man, as far as the other movies in his career are concerned, this is somewhere in-between.  Although the movie does show him going for some of the cheaper laughs, his character in this movie does show some of that talent as well.   Peyton Reed does a fairly good job directing the movie that has a decent plot and writing (by Nicholas Stoller, Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul).  The movie shows Carrey, in a job  he does not like as a banker and depressed about his life which had escalated due to his recent divorce.  Part of his job in the bank was to approve or deny people for mortgages -- and of course, most of his ansers to prospective mortgagees is "NO."  After going with a friend to a motivational speaker, he learns the power of the word "YES." This is the premise to the movie in which he will say yes to anything he is confronted with, including some of the sometimes dangerous and fantastic items that he is asked to do, especially after he falls in love with Allison a care-free musician (played by Zooey Deshanel), who shows him that he can break out of the boundaries of his ordinarily boring, non-eventful life.   Overall, I liked the movie, it was enjoyable and entertaining, and I did find myself chuckling at a few of the scenes.  Although not Carrey's best, it was still better than a lot of movies that try to be funny and just are not.  This Blu-Ray also includes a bunch of pretty cool bonus features and I would strongly suggest to see the Jim Carrey; Extreme Yes Man that looks at the physical comedy of the actor and the Say Yes To Red Bull featurette that is exclusive to the Blu-Ray.
