Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) is used to saying “no”. He shuns his friends and co-workers, hides when people need him and takes no chances in life. When he is challenged to turn his “no” into “yes”, his formerly safe life begins to morph into an exhilarating string of incidents which threatens to make him a better person, in addition to possibly finding love with cute Allison (Zooey Deschanel).

After years of playing the fool, Carrey seems to be more interested in comedy roles with a message, see also Bruce Almighty. The message in Yes Man is far more subtle, but one more can relate to. The film is based on the book of the same name by Danny Wallace. It’s certainly one of the more enjoyable, yet physically restrained roles that Carrey has undertaken. Maybe he is getting more mature, or could it just be age?
