Pass the Popcorn

Yes Man is about a banker named Carl (Jim Carrey) who's life is so full of disappointment that he challenges himself to say yes to everything in order to shake things up. With a similar comedic style to Liar Liar, Carrey goes back to the basics. Despite having a slow first act, I actually found myself laughing quite a bit during his various escapades. The always lovely Zooey Deschanel is too carefree for reality, but I was able to let it slide because she's cute. And Terence Stamp delivers a strong supporting role as the man behind the Yes.

Was it ground breaking? No. Was it as strong as Liar Liar? No. Was it worth watching? Yes. Yes! See, saying yes already changing my life.
