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)

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.

3/5 Why not?
  by C. Rocklein
A quick fluff movie that's fun for the first half and has a concept that is fun to think about applying to your own life (to some degree at least - ladies with dentures?). Well, it's Hollywood fast food and degrades to a 'happy' formulaic ending. "Liar Liar" followed a similar formula though with much better results. I'd rent before buying. I can't see anyone needing to see this twice but it won't bog you down or anything and it does conjure up possibilities. I can think of worse 3 star movies.

4/5 A good time and just a fun film to watch.
  by Darin Hyatt (Elk Grove, CA USA)
This is just a fun film to watch. Hilarious story, light-hearted and funny, with great performances by all the actors.

4/5 Liking the New Jim Carrey
  by Randy Given (Manchester, CT USA)
I'm liking the new Jim Carrey. More mature but still spontaneous and a little wacky. Lots of funny parts and generally a good family movie (just a couple parts that are questionable but the young ones probably won't notice and the teenagers probably will like oh-come-on-mom-and-dad). A general feel-good movie.

4/5 Mindless Fun
  by Tony H (Lenexa, KS)
It lacks emotional depth and has a very basic storyline, but it is good for a lot of laughs, and the liar liar-type premise lets Jim Carrey be himself and muster up a decent amount of laughs. Plus, the whole lesson isn't a bad one, either, even though it's corny and predictable.
