Yes Man

Over break I watched Yes Man starring Jim Carey who plays "Carl". I was genuinely surprised on how funny the movie was and how much of  a bummer the plot was. Although the movie isn't the freshest concept if you remember Jim has already done a movie very similar to this called Liar Liar. Jim keeps it alive when his character isn't locked into a yes and then consequence situation. The character Carl works as a bank loan executive who has never said yes to a thing in his life. After being dumped three years ago Carl just cant get out of feeling depressed everyday. His friends are worried about him and are fed up with being bushed off constantly. This movie gives you a good feeling when watching it because of its innocent plot and fun dialogue. Jim Carey is an awesome actor and one of the only reasons why this movie was as funny as it was. The connection between Zooey and Carl is a little awkward due to the evident age difference. I'm not trying to put Jim Carey down, but an 18 year age gap is pushing it a little in my eyes. I didn't feel a real connection in some parts but its a believable relationship. Carl's boss is my personal favorite character in the movie because he's such a dork.  Near the end of the movie the comedy gets old and the transition from comedy to romance is very lame. It was the worst turn for the movie. I suppose it couldn't go anywhere else but it wasn't done well. The script leads to overplayed gags and jokes. Very predictable at times. This wasn't as much of a success as it could have been but it was an enjoyable message and trying to be more open to things is the message I came away with.
