Yes Man

DateThursday, August 6, 2009 at 12:00PM


Release Year: 2008
Review: 'Yes Man' felt forced and unoriginal since the first footage of it was released. It was hard not to watch the trailer and think "didn't Jim Carrey already make this movie?'. It has an absurd premise, a thin plot and absolutely no originality. There were some laughs, but for the most part it always went for the cheap laughs and corny physical humor. Carrey and his love interest, played by Zooey Deschanel, have no chemistry and the result is awkward, forced, scenes. This isn't the worst comedy, but it feels studio driven, with no creativity injected whatsoever. It tries to please too many audiences, takes no risks, and is completely forgettable.
Rating: 2/5
