Yes Man

i went into 'yes man' as not a huge jim carrey fan. i realize he can be funny i just feel he goes over-the-top too much and it gets obnoxious rather than humorous. jim carrey has been trying serious roles recently (not to alot of success). Despite this i respect his attempt at changing roles and i watched 'yes man' with an open mind, it being his first real return to comedy.

this movie was very funny. it starts at kinda slow but once it gets going, there are plenty of laughs to be had. jim carrey is more controlled which makes his overly goofy parts much funnier. carrey's promise to say yes to everything is explored in many funny ways. zooey deschanel was good too and her and jim carrey worked well together. rhys darby was also extremely funny in his clueless office role. he was essentially playing the exact same character of 'murray' that he plays in the great hbo show 'flight of the conchords.'

*SPOILER PARAGRAPH/LIST*
romantic comedy wise the story was nothing original. it played out entirely predictable. the 3 standard parts of a romantic comedy
1. intial great time to be had by all (he's in love with her, she's in love with him. everythings great.
2. she finds out a secret he was hiding, everything crumbles
3. everything falls back into place, they find a way to get over differences.

i've seen this format used in countless chick flicks, and takes back from the whole expierence.
however, jim carrey's performance in this film and many other funny moments hold the film together and make it one worth watching (not a must see for theaters but definitely rent it).

Consensus: Jim Carrey is back!
