Yes Yes Vindictive - Operator Please

Just Say "YES!!!!"

Advantages: Enjoyable, funny, light-hearted, different from other romantic comedies
Disadvantages: If you dont like Jim Carrey you wont enjoy it!

Yes Man is a comedy starring Jim Carrey. The film is based on a book by Danny Wallace and basically tells the story of a man who starts to say ?Yes? to every opportunity that comes his way regardless of what it is. Interestingly enough Danny Wallace makes a little appearance sitting at the bar, I knew it was him as I had seen him on Richard and Judy some time ago talking about his book and his experiences of deciding to say yes to every opportunity. The main character in the film is Carl Allen who is played by Jim Carrey. Carl is a bit of a miserable man, he says no to everything at work and in his personal life. His friends are starting to give up on him because he wont go out with them and makes up lame excuses about why he cant meet them. Then Carl meets an old friend who persuades him to come along to a meeting. Here at this ...

Review of Yes Man

Say no to this Yes Man

Advantages: It ends eventually
Disadvantages: The crude scenes, swearing

I've just had the misfortune of watching Yes Man, and you can probably guess that I was really disappointed. Synopsis Carl is a bank clerk in charge of approving or denying loans most of which he denies. After separating from his wife, he has withdrawn into his shell and no longer enjoys the company of his friends. In short he's turned into a grumpy old man, that is until he runs into an old friend whilst he's eating his lunch. His friends tells him of a seminar that's coming up in a few days, which gas changed his life for the better. The concept is simple, you can improve your life by saying 'yes'. And that's what Carl decides to do, but it's not as easy as it sounds, there are somethings you just want to say no to, the trouble is bad things happen when Carl says no. Cast Jim Carrey as Carl Allen Zooey ...

Review of Yes Man

Are you a yes person or a no person?

Advantages: Quite amusing in parts/its quite lighthearted but makes you think, not long winded, the characters
Disadvantages: Its quite predictable, perhaps not overly realistic at the start/mid way through (read review)

- Credits - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1068680/fullcredits - Story - Carl Allen is an unhappy man who shies away from alot of things, preferring to spend time with himself. His friend often calls him to invite him out with friends for the night but he wants to avoid running into his ex-wife so he does't take the calls. One day, he's told about a personal development program, which he attends a local seminar on, where they explain that in order to move on and become a happier and more positive person, you have to say yes and not no and good things will come from it. He's quite sceptical at first but his friend encourages him to follow through and it doesn't take long before a number of random events takes place which leads to good things happening in his life, in his personal and work life. Things are looking up for Carl but can it ...
