Yes Man
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 1 hrs. 44 min.

Movie Synopsis
Jim Carrey stars as Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere — the operative word there being "no" — until he signs up for a self–help programme 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.

Review
Personally, I thought this movie can make me have a hard laugh like the other movie Jim Carrey acted in, Bruce Almighty, but it didn't come out as awesome or as laughable as what i thought it should be. Still, being a comedy, there are certainly many moments that you will find yourself laughing uncontrollably. This movie is kind of meaningful to people who usually would think more of the negative than the postive; Carl Allen was quite a pessimist and he gave many excuses to his friends just to avoid the consequences he has to face, like meeting his ex-wife at the bar. It was all until he started welcoming anything that comes in his way does he find his life had already taken a turn around for the better. The movie gets kind of predictable but all the laughter, smiles and some self-reflections to your life puts some value into watching this movie.

I'll give a 7/10 for YesMan.
