Best movie ever!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

YES MAN is a tired and silly Hollywood vehicle for the ageing Jim Carrey. The plot is a complete rip-off of LIAR LIAR, with the twist that Carrey's character has to say yes to everything that's asked of him for a whole year. What plays out is juvenile in the extreme; it's safe to say that the writers are on autopilot and Carrey's most successful days are long in the past.

Yup, that was a step down. I love Jim Carry but he looked way too old for the role. But that wasn't the main problem with the film. Long story short - it is not funny and a totally forgettable movie.

I have been a huge Jim Carrey fan ever since I saw liar liar. But this one was a lame moronic and simply monotonous one with repetitive and predictable jokes.The side-cast was also poor. Deschanel's acting was average and sometimes below-average.Lastly, this movies includes racial derogatory sequences where Persian Muslims are mocked deliberately by the writer/director.

Yes Man (2008): Dir: Payton Reed / Cast: Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Terence Stamp, Bradley Cooper, Danny Masterson: Yes, they screwed up this comedy about opportunities. It stars Jim Carrey as a divorcée who tries to avoid people until he is enrolled in a program that focuses in changing our attitudes towards better change. Starts out well until becoming routine and predictable. Directed by Payton Reed who made the wonderfully clever and underrated Down With Love as well as the low grade romantic dud The Break-Up. Here he surpasses The Break-Up but comes nowhere near the perfection of his Renee Zellweger effort. Carrey does his best as a guy who gave up on life only to find it again. He has his ups and downs in massive and sometimes comic overload but he holds the film together where everything else falls apart. Zooey Deschanel plays a singer he encounters but despite her efforts, the role is cardboard. Terence Stamp as the guy whom Carrey seeks with regards to this life change is an embarrassment and beneath Stamp's talent. Bradley Cooper appears as one of Carrey's few friends whom he ticks off. The film is well made from a technical stand point with an interesting point of view but its delivery is far from approving. Despite a message about living life and embracing opportunities the film only seems eager to present humour that most people should say, "no" too. Score: 5 ½ / 10
