A man finally sees all of the possibilities after saying "yes" to everything, Carey not only has one of his classic performances but also delivers heart and ultimately questions you the viewer.

Halarious.

Not a bad film from the ever good Jim Carrey. full of great slapstick humor and emotional coaster-rides driven by insane monkeys.

Extremely funny. Classic Jim Carrey. Hilarious! Must see! Refreshing. This movie is lighthearted fun! Its orig- oh wait. This movie kinda reminds me of something. Oh yeah. Liar Liar. This reminded me a lot of Liar Liar. The love interest was awkward considering the age difference. I left the theatre confused. Like something was missing but i thought about it and it was great.

funny movie that keept it going to the end, it didn't go overboard like in "the love guru". recommend it for both children and adults. who'd be fun with little swearing. but Americans are yeast silly with morals.

  Undemanding, light, and enjoyable.

  Starts out wobbly but ends up quite nicely, primarily because Carrey has a wonderful acting partner in Zooey Deschanel.

  It's even better as a love story that just happens to make you laugh.

  Carrey's most satisfying live-action effort since "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

  This is basically a nerd-loosening-his-tie romantic comedy done in the manic-compulsive mode of "Liar Liar."

  Of all the roles where the star has played a character transformed from ordinary to goofy ("The Mask," "Me, Myself & Irene," "Liar Liar"), this is the one where he seems the most human, achieving that elusive quality in a Carrey film: tolerability.

  Like many previous Carrey vehicles, the point of this one directed by Peyton Reed is that one should not live at the extremes, but should achieve a balance between low and high, no and yes.

  Genial but slim, picture is certainly a light-hearted alternative to weighty year-end awards bait, but the conceit isn't realized fully enough.

  It's charming enough with some nice comedy touches, but the initially intriguing premise is soon railroaded out of sight by its desire to conform to a tried-and-tested cinematic formula.

  If the slightly generic Yes Man is symbolic of the new, happier Jim Carrey, then it is a small price to pay for his piece of mind.

  Though it's a star vehicle, Carrey seems only marginally interested in rehashing the role of sweet spaz, and so he almost feels miscast.

  The biggest problem with this movie - not that it's mediocre, dull, or barely written (though it's guilty on all counts). It's that Carrey himself is miscast.

  Yes Man is nothing more than warmed-over holiday seconds, a repackaged best-of for those who already own the hits.

  If you're thinking "yuck," you're right. I added the extra star for Zooey Deschanel, who is so delicious as his honey that you want not to say no to Yes Man.
