Yes Man (Single-Disc Edition)

by Peyton Reed

I almost wound up seeing this in theaters back in January of this year, but instead I went with Slumdog Millionaire. After finally getting around to seeing Yes Man I … well, I kind of regret not seeing it back then (although Slumdog was good!).

A seriously underrated comedy (based on critic reviews), Yes Man manages to be hilarious and awkward as well as warm-hearted and romantic. Jim Carrey is the perfect actor for this role, and he really is the driving force of the movie. Sure, the story is a bit simple and one-dimensional, but I actually didn’t think the movie as a whole would be as good as it actually was. Needless to say, it was surprising.

While many of the supporting characters aren’t developed well, it doesn’t detract from the overall feel of the movie; it’s more about Carrey and Zooey Deschanel – though I did find myself thinking about that age gap a lot since he’s 47 and she’s 29, in real life. As a whole, the movie works fairly well.

I wouldn’t say Yes Man tops some of Carrey’s other films like Bruce Almighty, but it definitely deserves a lot more credit than critics have given it so far. Check it out!
