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.

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.

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.

If you love Jim Carrey, but hated the trailer for Yes Man. Fear not this is Jim Carrey par. You'll be surprised to see they put all the bad stuff in the trailer; yet if you don't like Jim Carrey this is no revolution, then you won't like this movie. I'll make it that simple for you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

To me, Jim Carrey's faces and antics seemed rather forced in this one. Not to mention the fact that the movie is pretty much Liar Liar mixed with Bruce Almighty. That being said, it's very easy to watch and to be entertained - which sets it apart from a lot of comedies these days. The comedy is lifted immeasurably by Rhys Darby as Carrey's boss. Alongside the legendary Carrey, Darby stands out as the comic relief - something as unbelievable as it is downright hilarious.

It's far from the worst things Jim Carrey has been a part of... that doesn't make it good though. Jim Carrey's charm and style had simply run out of gas by this point in time, so what's left is extremely straightforward and predictable.

This was better than I remembered it being.

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.

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!

I think the idea that risks should be something we take more of is a cool concept for a film but I think Jim Carrey oversells that and makes it seem beyond ridiculous.

Has a good message as well, definitely worth seeing!
