» Yes Man - DVD Review
Jun 30, 2009 - 8:33 PM - by Brando

Starring: Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Bradley Cooper
Directed by: Peyton Reed
Written by: Nicholas Stoller (screenplay), Jarrad Paul (screenplay), Andrew Mogel (screenplay), and Danny Wallace (book)
Runtime: 104 mins
Rated: PG-13
DVD Release: April, 2009

Movie

The 90s’ favorite rubber man is back in Yes Man, a comedy about a down-and-out loser convinced that the only way to find a girlfriend, get a better job, and generally improve his mediocre life is to say “yes” to every opportunity that comes his way. The result of such a plot, ridiculous as it may be, is a fairly funny little flick that reminds us in part why we loved Jim Carrey so much back in the glory days of Ace Ventura. However, the film’s writing and pacing is generally slower than we expect from a film of this type, meaning it’s unlikely to revive Carrey’s once incredible career.

Carrey is Carl Allen, a divorced loan approver (or in this case, denier) with a serious hate on for adventure and spontaneity. Since the abrupt end of his six month marriage to Stephanie (Molly Sims), Carl has become something of a recluse, a hermit afraid to ask out women, party with his friends, or take chances on loan applications. All of the above means that he spends most nights alone in his depressing brown apartment, ignoring his less and less active cellphone while watching Blockbuster fare.

This sad reality seems fine with everyone until Carl misses his best friend’s bachelor party. Wounded BFF Peter (Bradley Cooper) then lashes out at his pathetic pal, telling Carl that he’ll soon have nothing and no one left if he doesn’t change his pitiful ways. Our depressed protagonist then runs into an old friend full of life (albeit empty on common sense) who’s simply brimming with pleasure now that he’s discovered the power of “Yes,” a word that can’t help but open new doors and expand realities. A desperate Carl finally breaks down and follows Nick to a “Yes” convention, where the former is targeted by cultesque “YES!” leader Terrence Bundley (Terence Stamp) who convinces Carl to answer “yes” to every opportunity presenting itself in the future.

It’s a ludicrous idea, to say the least. Hardly maintainable (perhaps the psychiatric...
