Jim Carrey is getting old and he is not as entertaining as he used to be. The film is nothing special, an ordinary stupid comedy, but I found it really hilarious at some parts.

Liar Liar 2. I quite liked it, Jim Carrey is good as always and the central point in it being as good as it is is the romantic subplot. The plot is ludicrous, the twists/developments are ridiculous, but damnit, I love Carrey. I do. Not laugh-out-loud hilarious, more a drama than a comedy in my opinion. Recommended if you like Carrey. Recommended if you at least like Carrey's dramatic outings. Avoid if you don't.

Pretty good for what it is but not a great film. It's easy to take in and predictable as hell but whatever, it works. Zooey and Carrey have good chemistry and Rhys Darby is great.

There's some fun 2 b had watching where each "yes" will lead, but the narrative's a little 2 predictably Hwood high-concept as the film eventually falls in2 a series of fortune cookie aphorisms. 1 of the problems is that the script wants 2 keep things so light u never really get a sense of Carrey's loneliness. Since his buddies keep coming around he just seems bored. So there's no real sense of character growth; 1 minute he's a funny guy who says no, the next he's a funny guy w a full schedule.

Something really clicked with me here, I mean its not that good of a movie, but i found it extremely hilarious a lot of the time, all be it being extremely corny, especially with the standard cliche love story. If you like Carrey, give this a shot.

I was alittle worried to see this movie because as a kid I always loved the Jim Carrey comedies and I felt that he might be washed up, but I was very surprised to find that it was actually good. I think one of the main reasons I loved this movie is because I love Zooey Deschanel.

By no means the worst kind of selfhelp romcom yackfest even though it trips on all its generic hurdles. It has a kinda nice "message" even though it's presented with cumbersome contrivance & weird manic unfocus. Carrey is able to be very charming or very annoying & falls right between them here in a way that kinda suits the material. The story lends itself to crazy comedy scenarios but is crippled by the tortuously familiar structure. I continue to be unable to stand Deschanel in a movie.

Nothing fancy. Just an enjoyable story with some really funny parts and a good Jim Carrey(good to see him again btw!). A very good moie if you just want to sit back and relax while watching a funny, enjoyable film. If you're a Jim arrey fan: Be sure to give it a try!!

Another feel-good Carrey extravaganza. Through the stupendous plotline and unconvincing but often amusing distractions, it still feels slightly more like a drama than a usual comedy, something which helps it seperate itself a bit from it's kin. Although Yes Man relies more on script than the usual Carrey visual comedy, sometimes this causes it to stutter between one scene to the next. Underneath though it's nothing more than a vehicle, or even an excuse, for more of the usual crazy antics.

It never gets lame or sags; constantly solid writing from start to finish. I mean, realistically he probably would have gone broke but they did account for it with him also getting more money. The chemistry was excellent & characters were surprisingly well developed. Advertising is such that you could never *really* do this. As usual, advertising ruins most things. But that the movie knows that; acknowledging real politik sets it apart & grounds it. Explored the premise well given the run time.

This movie is pretty fun. The story is entertaining for the majority of the time (the ending is a tad weak). The laughs are constant but there aren't many big ones (the fight scene stands out). The acting is good, and while it's nice to see Rhys Darby get work, no one is really stepping out of their comfort zone (Zooey Deshanel as the quirky girl? NO WAY!) Ultimately the experience is forgettable until someone brings the movie up and then you say, "Yeah that movie wasn't too bad."

I don't remember the last time I actually enjoyed a Carrey movie (maybe Dumb and Dumber), but this movie was alright. Carrey really did have me laughing in some spots. Now I can't say the same for my date's viewing of it. Finally he is able to reign in his physical comedy, and in the one or two points where he did go over the top I actually found it funny. The rest of this cast (minus Darby) is blah, but who cares. Nice surprise. Jim really "carrey"d the film.

The central motif is well developed, as Carrey's charming Carl moves from melancholy conservatism to inspiring free-spirited-ness before a well-placed stick in the spokes adds nuance to the message (see the "no" in his ex's apartment). The romance narrative isn't as impressive; it's formulaic, with a predictable fall out (the FBI twist that instigates it also seems far fetched), though Carrey and Deschanel have decent chemistry. Darby's hilariously nerdy Norman is a notable supporting character.

Yeah right, great morality there, do stupid things and life will give you an oh so randum quirky partner and happiness. Couldn't get behind Jim Carrey's character, loathed everything Zooey Deschanel's character did, the only good thing about this movie to me was Carrey's funny faces. Yeah, that's how dumb I thought it was.

The characters are mostly likable and thisis an OK movie. The message got undercut for me due to the too-literal interpretation of saying "yes." The point would obviously be to say yes to opportunities, not to agree with every last thing anyone asks or suggests. It's impossible to say yes to everything since some things are mutually exclusive.

Yes Man is a decent romantic comedy, but could have been improved upon had its lead character actually had some sort of reluctance to saying "yes" to every situation that passed his way. It becomes too predictable and cliché by the end, and although it's got a good message that everyone can draw from, it's not funny enough to be called a good comedy. It also mismanages its cast, with the more interesting characters getting pushed to the side so Jim Carrey can be the star.

Yes Man is a return to slapstick comedy for Jim Carrey, a genre he runs from even though he is perfect in these types of movies. An amazing cast of people follow him on this journey; Zooey Daschanel, Terence Stamp, Molly Sims, Bradley Cooper, Rhys Darby, and so many others. I wasn't really sure what to expect from this film because I never really heard that much about it but it is just as great as Bruce Almighty and his earlier work in the genre. I will definitely watch this movie again.

Entertaining comedy is certainly far more restrained than Carrey's manic efforts in the mid-90s and is more likable in its way, however after a terrific start and establishment of the premise (with distinct echoes of GROUNDHOG DAY), it settles into a conventional rom-com formula and becomes somewhat tired, despite fine performances by Carrey and Deschanel. Certainly fun for those of us who remember Carrey's short-lived reign of the box-office!

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.

It's nice to see Jim Carrey back to his old comedic ways. This film certainly delivers a handful of good laughs, but for some reason that I can't put into words, it felt like something was missing; It almost felt hollow or something. Carrey and Deschanel propel what could have been a bomb of a film, into a halfway decent flick.

Is there anything really original or funny about this movie? I mean, come on? The whole "yes" thing made no fucking sense{I don't mind total exaggerations but I think they need to have some semblance of logic and relatability to be funny} and the whole joke was played to death in an annoying way. The only thing funny about this flick, ironically, is the poster advertising the movie.

The Apatow crew have proven that comedies don't have to have the same cookie-cutter script that so many comedies have, and unfortunately, Yes Man is just another predictable cookie. It was entertaining enough to keep my attention for the whole movie, but the jokes - which aren't gut-busting or anything - are just too few and too far in between. The most satisfying part of the movie for me was seeing Murray of HBO's Flight of the Conchords get some screen-time.

If "Yes Man" isn't funny enough, I don't think it's Carrey, because he does the best he can here. The movie on the other hand just doesn't have enough material for him to run wild. A few scenes stand out, but overall it's not much better than "Four Christmases." This one has a bigger heart underneath, it just needs to be a little sharper and a little wittier. The romance between Carrey and Deschanel is what hurts the film more, because she is so much younger - it just isn't convincing enough.

Yes Man is an average Jim Carrey film and although the concept is stupid there's still enough enjoyment to be had. There are definitely vibes of both 'Bruce Almighty' and 'Liar Liar' but Jim Carrey never fails to make me laugh. I always enjoy Zooey Deschanel too and even though her and Jim Carrey are an odd and unlikely pairing, there is some fun chemistry. The soundtrack is decent also but it's the bizarre fictional band Muncausen by Proxy that steal the show.

I've always found Jim Carrey's charm irresistible, and Zooey Deschanel is as hot as always, but this film was just so run-of-the-mill, not all that funny and it didn't live up to its seemingly high potential. On the other hand, it is just harmless fun and Zooey Deschanel is hot. Did I mention Zooey Deschanel is hot?

This was better than I remembered it being. Perhaps it was because I was younger and watched it around an overly sensitive parent the first time, but when watching on my own this time, I enjoyed it a lot more. No, it's not one of Jim's best, but it's still pretty fun, and I love Zooey Deschanel. Wish she would be in more movies.
