    I thought this was a great movie. One of my favorite Jim Carrey movies and I usually love the stuff he is in! It just made me want to go out and do stuff :D It was just a fun movie
  • November 27, 2009
    Made me laugh, but probably won't see it again.
  • November 27, 2009
    A fun film, with some very clever comedy. Still i couldn't help but be disapointed at the fact that Danny Wallace didn't have a speaking role during the whole film.
  • November 27, 2009
    it was a really funny movie. it would be stupid to say yes to everthing. it is ok to say no to thing, but not everything. have fun with life and just say whtever you want.

    optimistic:))
    and stupid - that's why I like it:D
  • November 24, 2009
    Not as good as I thought it would b!
  • November 24, 2009
    A predictable but funny and sweet movie, with excellent chemistry between Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel.
  • November 23, 2009
    Ya the movie wasn't that great, but for, ahhhh, personal reasons?,..... it gets a 5 definately a 5. is that as high as it goes?...
  • November 22, 2009
    Not one of Jim Carrey's best comedies but it does have his incredible sense of humor and uniquecity. A little bit of romance here and there which always does the trick if others fail. The concept of this movie i find quite amazing. Saying YES to everything would be very very inte...( read more)resting and i'm sure i'm not the only one wondering what it would be like, the message of this movie being an optimistic one, add Jim's humor to it and you get this exiting comedy.

    Had a couple of chuckles.

    [talking to himself] "Hey Carl, do you wanna give all of your money away to a homeless guy? Yes, yes I do. How about letting him burn out your phone batteries so you can't call triple A when you run outta gas? You know what, that sounds like a FUCKING GREAT IDEA! Why don't you...( read more) take a late night stroll through the hills and be killed by the Manson family. Don't mind if I do "


    Ok let's just establish that I love love love Jim Carrey, his crazy insane roles and the more serious ones, so it actually pains me to say this, seriously, it hurts, but, here it is.....I didn't really like it. I have never before said that about a Carrey movie (except The Number 23 which was questionable ha). A lot of reviews say 'Jim is back on form' and 'doing what he does best', but I can't agree I'm sorry. Firstly, to me he hadn't lost much to begin with :), but if he had, this wouldn't have resurrected it and secondly, it's not what he does best, there were just aspects of it thrown in now and then, but those moments were few and far between :(

    It's not a disaster by any means, but it is forgettable. Normally Carrey's films have me laughing out loud almost the entire way through, he's just my kind of humour, but the funny moments in this were anything but constant, they fleeted by so fast that I was constantly praying for a funny moment and attempting to force myself to like it more than I did. Don't get me wrong it did have me laughing at certain parts, but, there were times where I was (can't believe it) a little bored. The romantic aspect of the film shines through the hit and miss comedy, as the relationship between Carl and Allison develops, it manages to be cute without being overly-sentimental.

    It's shortcomings can't be blamed on the cast, as all performances are more than adequate. But it could have, should have been funnier. There were so many comedic possibilities for Carrey to do his thing, maybe too many, that I feel some scenes that were perhaps best left for the cutting room floor made it into the final cut, which became a mélange of random clips. At least Warner Bros. got plenty of advertising in geez.

    I can't bear to give it less than 3 stars, so there it is. Oh Jimmy, how about getting back with Shadyac :)

    humourous n truthful
  • November 18, 2009
    Some laughs but nowhere near as funny as I had been led to believe. At this point in his career, as long as Jim Carrey isn't making The Number 23, people are going to say this is his funniest since (fill in the blank).
  • November 18, 2009
    I really enjoyed the fact that this didn't revolve around corny catch phrases or slapstick. Jim Carrey showed that he's still got it. I loved the idea and the way they handled it. The love story element was really good too, not forced at all. Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel had re...( read more)ally great chemistry together.
  • November 18, 2009
    This movie was awesome Love Jim Carrey
  • November 15, 2009
    Mildly amusing, but in the end felt like an after-thought of a Jim Carrey movie. It's pretty much an identical premise as the much funnier "Liar, Liar," except in this one, instead of being unable to lie, he is unable to say "no." (Well, actually, he is able to say it, but doesn'...( read more)t really want to.) I guess you can say that this movie does everything it can with a pretty lame idea.

    i love u obiarije_nweuna@yahoo.ca
  • November 10, 2009
    Jim Carrey is so crazy! I love Zooey Deschanel from Elf.
  • November 9, 2009
    Overall, average. Of course Zooey and Jim are cute and charming here but there's not really anything new or particularly clever. Enjoyable all around though.
  • November 5, 2009
    YES MAN (2008) stars Jim Carrey. This moie has some very funny moments and its nice to see Carrey back to doing comedy - which is what he does best. However, the whole "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, and then boy wins girl back" story line is so tiring. It has been done so many ...( read more)times. However, that aside - the Yes Man is a fun movie and is a must see especially for all Jim Carrey fans.
  • November 3, 2009
    Yes! Say it a million times. Then say it a million more. And the word you will have said two million times is... YES!

    I absolutely hate this actor, he is so exaggerated that more often then not his "performance" makes me want to grab the first thing that comes under my hands and throw it at the TV set.
    But maybe it's OK to give the movie a chance.
  • November 1, 2009
    Okay film. Jim Carrey is way too annoying in this.
  • October 31, 2009
    You must see it! It's so great! LMFAO
  • October 30, 2009
    Pretty average but entertaining movie. Passed the time nicely.
  • October 30, 2009
    Yes I am....
    No way man...
  • October 29, 2009
    Jim Carrey is perfectly cast as Carl who is challenged at a self-help group to say yes to everything. What follows is a funny but unoriginal comedy that made me laugh. If reminds me of the old Jim Carrey comedies but a little more grown up.
  • October 29, 2009
    While looking for laughs, I found that this film wasn't bad at all. I tend to get annoyed with Carrey's odd flamboyance, but Zooey Deschanel and a few other supporting actors kept it entertaining enough to make a decent comedy.
    I don't enjoy Carrey's movies often, but this fi...( read more)lm reminds me of 'Liar Liar' (sans ex-wife & son in custody-battle). Many of the other actors are memorable enough to keep the laughs rolling. John Higgins is absolutely hilarious during the seminar scene (shouting "YES!"), while Terence Stamp blasts Carrey with evangelical hypnosis. Masterson has some on-screen presence with a handle-bar moustache and few lines, Cooper is believable as a best-friend type. Zooey Deschanel's singing and acting talent is definitely sexy. I bet she knows it too.
    Some scenes were unsettling, but I won't comment (or spoil) it for you. Sometimes my taste in films is mostly relative to others' I'd seen, and 'Yes Man' happens to be slightly unpredictable. It isn't a masterpiece, but it's not for kids (disgusting granny scene).
  • October 27, 2009
    good holiday entertainment. Some very sweet and also truly disturbing moments, but all up an entertaining and enjoyable movie
  • October 26, 2009
    I thought it was really funny, Jim Carrey wasn't too overbearing, and the premise was enjoyable. I'd watch again.
  • October 25, 2009
    Jim Carrey stars as Carl who after his life leaves him he pretty much cuts himself off from life and friends that is untill the day a old friend drags him to a self help program that has one simple rule say yes to everything no matter what it is when Carl starts taken this advice...( read more) his whole world opens up to him in amazing and unexpected ways but of course with to much of a good thing there is always the drawbacks in the end. Being a fan of Jim Carreys i thought this movie was really good and had me laughing alot but as with any Jim Carrey movie it might not be for everyone.
  • October 25, 2009
    Great movie. A lot better than I expected it to be. Jim Carrey did a great job.
  • October 24, 2009
    Predictable from start to end, but enough quality chucklesome scenes to keep eyes from knitting; his neighbour and boss scenes in particular.
  • October 24, 2009
    1 star for the amazing band Munchausen by Proxy and another star for Rhys Darby.
  • October 23, 2009
    I hardly know you but I feel comfortable! Look how close I'm getting!
  • October 23, 2009
    Great movie. It was really hilarious, I was hopping that'll be more funnier though. Jim Carrey did his job as usual really good. Loved Zooey Deschanel she's a great actress and she has a really good voice.

    Carl: The era of "yes" has begun.
  • October 21, 2009
    really educative and a lil funny
