2.5/4  Good for a few laughs
An enjoyable, harmless comedy in which Jim Carrey's character chooses to say yes to every opportunity that comes his way. Not a lot more than that, other than the quirky people he meets and the change to his personality, but it is an enjo... (read full)

2.5/4  Liar Liar 2 Anyone?
I was in a laughing mode last night when I watched this so it probably came off a little funnier to me then it actually was. Over all it was what I expected walking in, Liar Liar with a different catalyst. I got exactly what I thought I ... (read full)

2/4  ...Maybe?
Slightly underrated, Yes Man, is just another bump in Jim Carrey's road of hilariousity. Carrey portrays a person who could easily be considerd a "no man" (a phrase not uterd, but screamed far too many times in this film) who attends a con... (read full)

2/4  Yes Man
Yes Man starts out as a typical Hollywood comedy; predictable and pretty badly written. But it evolves towards the end and the message of the film is actually pretty good. Jim Carrey was also surprisingly good in this movie. Although I rea... (read full)

2.5/4  Yes, he still got it
Yes, Jim's certainly back. Though I'm sort of surprised with the way he delivered his slapstick antics here. It seemed he lost his touch making people laugh over the years or making me laugh for that matter. Some of his jokes are getting p... (read full)

4/5 Yes Man (Single-Disc Edition) (2008) - Light Comedy
  by Keith Mirenberg (www.spaceanimations.org)
This film rates four stars in my book. Jim Carey is always great at visual comedy and worked very effectively with Zoey Dischanel. A few scenes went well over the top, but if you like Jim Carey this film is for you.



3/5 Entertaining, but glad I just rented it.
  by Filmfan (Denmark)
I go with the 3 star ratings. Light, amusing, entertaining, but not one of his best. A routine comedy, all in all. I'd also suggest renting it - I wouldn't want to own it.

5/5 Just Say Yes to Yes Man!
  by Anthony Carpenter
Yes Man is a hilarious comedy with a positive message surrounding it.Jim Carrey stars as Carl,a banker who turns his life around after going to a YES Seminar.

In this seminar he must say Yes to every option that he is presented and this gets him in some really crazy situations like flying lessons,driving a homeless man to a park at night and a Persian wife finder site.His Manager Norm (Rhys Darby) is very funny and fun to watch as is Jim himself and Zooey Deschanel as the spontaneous girl who he falls in love with.A Good Hearted Comedy i recommend if you like Classic Jim like Liar Liar.

4/5 another quality film starring Jim Carrey
  by B. E Jackson (Pennsylvania)
It seems Jim Carrey has turned his attention away from being his typically goofy self including facial expressions and other silly mannerisms, and has turned to a more... not necessarily a more intelligent style of comedy, but starring in films that focus less on the goofiness.

So far it seemed to work for Jim Carrey, because the Yes Man was pretty funny. It's about a man (Jim Carrey of course) who has to say "YES" to everything. This includes ALL questions asked by everyone. This can include having to say yes to his neighbor (an old lady who knows a thing or two about making love), his workmates (one of them being a Harry Potter fanatic) and his girlfriend (whom he met at a gas station while riding a motorcycle).

I do miss the old version of Jim Carrey where he was just an insanely goofy person, but with good writing to back up his behavior so the writing in those old movies had a purpose at least. Yes Man is a very minor disappointment in that regard, but not enough to take away from all the times I was sitting there laughing while watching it tonight.

The film does a really nice job covering a variety of different locations, and having Carrey's character interact with a variety of interesting people. I like that. It makes the story that much more interesting when Jim Carrey has to say yes to everything.

Maybe the writers could have found funnier ways for Jim Carrey to say yes involving funnier segments and questions, but that's a small complaint because in the end this is a movie I recommend you watch with your family, and a film all Jim Carrey fans should be able to appreciate.

1/5 Say no, say no!
  by Miles D. Moore (Alexandria, VA USA)
I was forced to watch "Yes Man" on a bus traveling from Washington, DC to New York City. There was no way to avoid it (the sound was up full blast, the screen right in my face), although I wish there had been. I guess the bus driver could have chosen a worse movie than this jerry-built contraption for Jim Carrey, but not by much. The story involves a depressed, negative man (Carrey) who is forced by a self-help guru (Terence Stamp) to agree to everything everyone asks him to do. If "Yes Man" were merely a typical Hollywood "comedy" that mistook frenzy for laughs, I could have borne it. But "Yes Man" crosses over far too often into the realms of the offensive. The "jokes" include one of the most distasteful sex scenes in cinematic history (you'll know it when you see it) and a scene between Carrey and a German shepherd that conjures images of that perennial laff riot, Abu Ghraib. Carrey flounders in the awful script, as do other talented actors such as Stamp, Zooey Deschanel, Bradley Cooper and Fionnula Flanagan. I would advise even die-hard Carrey fans to skip this one.
