YES MAN

When i walked into the cinema last night to see Yes Man i felt i would be leaving feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. this was not the case though.
I felt that Jim Carrey had dropped the ball of late. i used to be a big time fan when he had done Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura etc. But i definately thought he was too old to still be doing the rubber faced act that made him famous.
Yes Man though was quite better than i though it would be.
He plays a man called Carl who is pretty much a hermit, never goes out, declines all loan's at work(at the bank), but after he gets dragged along to a seminar and is made a public example of in front of a massive crowd, he starts to buy into the whole Yes thing.
I reckon that Carl bought into it a little too easy though, as his reclusive character changed in a flash to a wild, crazy dude. I think it would take more than 24 hours to change your whole perspective, and the way you acted.
It is quite funny though, especially the character Norman, who is probably the biggest nerd i have ever seen on the big screen. From his costume parties(Harry Potter, 300) to his handshakes and nicknames,(Carl becomes Car) he is just the perfect character for the situation.
There are some genuine laugh out loud moments like Dobby at the costume party, or Norman opening the door and yelling 'This is Sparta!', to the bit where Carl is lying there with a fly crawling on his eyeball, or the sticky tape bit.

Carl's love interest sort of annoyed me a bit though. She was sort of quirky and a bit edgy, but the whole band thing was shit, and unbelievable.

The weird thing was, even though i thought it was pretty good, my favourite part was the 3 trailers shown before the movie even began.
It started with 7 pounds, which although i had seen it, was good to watch it again now that i knew everything that had gone down. Then came Harry Potter 6. It gave me goosebumps. I am so craving a bit of HP6 right now actually.
Then finally it showed Gran Torino. It looked so good that i almost got my nut right there and then.
I actually wished i had gone in to see one of those three... but still, Yes Man held its own.

3/5

yes yes yes man!

YES MAN
Considering all the movies Jim Carey has been in and how funny he has made those! this definitely falls into the sort of humour we have come to expect from such a hilarious actor!
its a fun filled comedy with little twists and turns along the way! sometimes with too much dry humour, but other times with stuff that will just make you laugh out loud! HAHAHAHAHA (like that)

So the story is about this guy (Carl Allen), around 30 if i remember correctly! his life sucks! but only cause he is so uptight about everything he does! he lets down his friends, he has no relationships with women apart from the one that ended three years ago! until he meets this insanely embracing character outside of where he works (a bank) where he is introduced to a covenant called "yes man" where, that's right you guessed it, you have to say "yes" to anything and everything!
It leads Carl on some wild and unexpected turns, and his life literally is turned into a roller coaster full of ups and downs! which eventually ends with a fun and most enjoyable and satisfying conclusion!

Life, love, beer and a whole lot of saying yes! makes this movie not only exciting but fun!
it makes u want to say yes to lots of things, just so you can experience the adventure that Carl did!
