"Yes Man"

Comedy. Rated PG-13.

This is a story about a divorced loan officer named Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) who is down because of his divorce and denies loans, says no to parties and to life. He spends his days at the video store and watches videos at home alone.

Then one day he goes to a self-help seminar on saying "Yes" to everything and anything. He tries it one day. He gives a homeless man a ride to the park, and gives him money. While at the park, his car runs out of gas and he has no money. So he walks to the nearest gas station with a gas can. There he meets a girl, Allison, (played by Zooey Deschanel) on a motorbike. They eventually get together.

Carl realizes that hey this stuff really works. So he continues to follow the mantra of saying yes. He signs up for Korean lessons, he tries bungee jumping, he rides the motorbike for the first time. At work, he is invited to a party at the boss's house and he goes. He also gets a promotion. He is having the time of his life.

Then one day he goes to another costume party and starts drinking red bull, like a lot of them. He has a date with Allison the next day at 8 a.m., but the red bull keeps him awake all night and goes to the date right after. Hyper as can be, as she wonders what's going on.

Eventually they get handcuffed by the FBI and taken in. He is arrested for terrorism. When they realize they got the wrong man, Allison figures out that he says yes to everything. So she gets mad because she asked him to move in together and he said yes, but thinks he really doesn't like her but says yes anyway.

This is a funny movie and typical of Jim Carrey's movies. The movie is actually better than i had predicted it to be. I would recommend it. It is a comedy and a love story rolled into one.

Overall Rating: A
