Yes man - my movie review "its so hard to say YES"

Friday, January 16, 2009

If someone invited you to a Jim Carrey new movie, would you say YES! and watch the movie, for me if you label any movie with Jim Carrey, I will definitely say YES and never think twice or pause for a moment to think what will be the color or size of my underwear. I just experienced this invite a go go to my friends and they didn't think a second to say NO, but here in YES MAN, Jim's new movie, all is a go and YES is the golden ticket to watch it ( and yeah for free, if you are movie blogger )

It is hard to say YES in many things, and in this movie that stars Jim Carrey as Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere—the operative word being “no”—until he signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say “yes” to everything...and anything. Unleashing the power of “YES” begins to transform Carl’s life in amazing and unexpected ways, getting him promoted at work and opening the door to a new romance. But his willingness to embrace every opportunity might just become too much of a good thing. ( read more below )

All I can say is that the story and character really fits well to Jim and looks like the movie is also okay to other comedians, but I'm glad that Jim Carrey got the role and now being tag as the Yes Man. It is a funny movie and I enjoyed everything on it, and if you are a geek, you'll definitely love some scenes in the middle of the movie. It struck me big time after hearing some dialogues but it reflected the characters personality and its problems. Are you afraid to say YES, if someone proposes to you for marriage? well, Carl Allen (Jim) can say Yes to that. But I just realized that saying YES to everything is very hard.

I like the scene with the Third Eye Blind thing, I almost sang with them during the screening, I just don't know if everyone sings it too, but it was a sure winner for me. The story is well projected to each of the character of Yes man, and the use of soundtracks is good and I just can't wait to grab it soon, I want to hear Zooey Deschanel's voice hhehehehe.

The movie will eject you out of your seat laughing and later on ask yourself "what if you are in Carl Allen's shoe?, will you say YES too, even that you need to do your first bungee jump? or be a changed person and have a happy life." hmm well, if it changes me and makes me happy, I will say a big YES on it.

btw, don't leave yet your seats... there's an extra clip in the middle of the end credits ( Hell no!! its not Tony Stark showing up for the Avengers ahhaha)

once again, thanks to Sionee of Warner Bros. Philippines for the invites of the press screening.
