Now where have I seen this before ... hmmm ... well, put it this way, if I saw Yes Man back-to-back with Liar Liar, I'd have trouble remembering which bits came from which movie.

Zooey Deschanel crushes Jim Carrey's plums after he's been asked for the fifth time today, 'can I shag your girlfriend?' Age has somewhat diminished Jim Carrey's Jim-Carreyness, which will come as a blessed relief to some, though he still has the occasional gurn for old-time's sake. In this outing, the "plot" sees Jim having to agree with everything - to take advantage of every opportunity that arises. It'll only take you ten seconds of pondering to figure out why the premise wouldn't work, but that's not important in this kind of movie - it's just a fluffy bit of fun, loosely based on slightly barking British comedian/presenter guy Danny Wallace, who you may recognise from that series where he started his own country for a laugh, and that Horizon documentary about robots. No really, you'd recognise him if you saw him. In fact you can see him - in the wedding shower scene, there's a slightly out-of-place guy sitting behind Carrey chatting to a girl at the bar. That's Danny. Anyway, he said yes to everything for six months and wrote a book about it. And this is nothing like that, except for the basic "yes" bit.

I quite enjoyed Yes Man, it had some choice funny moments, and it had Zooey Deschanel (Trillian from Hitchhiker's Guide). It's no Bruce Almighty, but it's good clean fun and will make you feel good too.

I enjoyed this film: 3/5

I think the average moviegoer will enjoy it: 4/5

Testosterone Satisfaction Rating: 1/5

To enjoy this film: have some fun with it.

 

Yes Man was released in the UK on 26th December 2008.
