Yes Man(2008)


I think Jim Carry is giving us tales of Morality. I feel like the last few Carry films I have seen were like funny allegories. Lair Lair, don't lie. Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind is almost a It's a wonderful life tale of your life is precious no matter how much pain your in. This one,Yes Man, tell the audience that is you say yes to life good things will happen, and if you say no bad things will happen, but you have do it responsibly.

This movie was number one at the box office last weekend. Again, it the economic downturn a funny light hearted movie is needed. Isn't funny during booms (e.i. the roaring 90's) people like disturbing entertainment. Well, in times like these it is quite the opposite.

Jim Carry plays Carl who is miserable cloistered man who avoids as much social contract and effort to enjoy life. He attends a self-help talk that persuades him to say yes to everything that comes his way. At first this looks disastrous but in the process unexpected good things happen to him.

This is really good role Carry who tried be a serious actor, but I think he was too good at being depressed. Nobody wanted to a favorite funny man so sad. So, he went back to silliness. This movie has both aspects.

This movie has your usual Carry stick, funny faces, a funny musical number, playing with language and conversations. The movie G rated enough for older kids.

It co-stars Zooey Deschanel, who couldn't look like a more perfect girl, and Danny Masterson, from That 70's show, who is still playing Steven Hyde.

If you couldn't tell I really enjoyed this one. I think it is great fun little movie. Good you want to get your mind of things.
