YES MAN

Contrary to the little known Benigni movies, anything with Jim Carrey is bound to reach the far ends of the continent. I am normally not too much of a fan of his overly exaggerated performances, although “Yes Man” got quite a few laughs from me and a whole new appreciation for Carrey’s style of comedy. It is very similar to “Liar Liar” where he must always tell the truth no mater how harsh it is, however in this case his character must always say yes to every proposition he receives. The story is great because most people do live in a bit of a bubble; floating between work and home with very little time or inclination for anything outside the comfort zone. This movie takes it to the extreme but it certainly reminds us of all the fun and interesting things we can do if we just open ourselves up to a little change. Of course Jim Carrey’s contortionist-like features help to drive the point home and have you in stitches along the way.
