Jim Carrey does wonders with a slight premise that finds his reserved, emotionally-distant character, Carl Allen, a banker who routinely turns down loan applications, accepting a challenge to open up to life by saying "yes" to everything. A man who constantly disappoints friends by weasling out of opportunities for bonding and happiness, Carl radically changes into a creature of complete spontaneity. By never saying no anymore, he gets into situations with unpredictable outcomes, such as driving a homeless stranger to a scary-looking park at night. But for the most part, whatever Carl says yes to becomes a road to worthwhile experiences, even receiving a promotion at work for approving hundreds of micro-loans against all policy. Zooey Deschanel, who often plays appealing kooks, is very good as Carl's girlfriend, a free spirit who takes to his positivity about everything--for awhile, anyway. Director Peyton Reed (Down with Love) makes the most out of the gimmicky comedy, as does Carrey, who does wonders with scenes that are often left open-ended just to see what the brilliant comic will do with them. --Tom Keogh

 I wouldn't say yes, just maybe June 30, 2009

Jim Carrey really has been in a lot of stinkers lately. This one is no different. It is extremely predictable and the characters are 1 dimensional. If you really want to see the best of Carrey go back to his earlier stuff. Lately he's been churning out the same character over and over again.
 A good film with lots of laughs. June 29, 2009

I've had people tell me they didnt like the movie but I thought it was a good flick. Jim is very funny as usual and at the very least I would recommend a rent if not a buy. If you a JC fan you should def buy it.

I expected this movie to be more slapstick, but I was pleasantly surprised by this film. While there's a bit of naughty humor in here (Oh, Tillie!), the movie is overall classy and thought-provoking. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and the scene in the end credits with the rollerblading was AWESOME.
A solid 4.5/5 stars for a entertaining and thought-provoking flick. Kudos!

I normally base a lot of my purchase on what the consensus on Amazon says as it provides a lot better feedback than a reviewer, but frankly this movie was horrible.
I was expecting a "Liar Liar" knockoff with a few less laughs. Instead it was a worn out and old looking Jim Carey who I'm pretty sure didn't even read the script.
Horrible movie. Shame on you reviewers.
 YYYYYYYYYYYES! June 19, 2009

I came into this with trepidation regarding Jim Carrey's past flops....but still a fan, mind you. I came out really enjoying Zooey Deschanel's performance as well as Mr. Carrey's.
