Movie Review: YES MAN!!

Synopsis:
Jim Carrey stars as Carl Allen, a man who signs up for a self-help program based on one simple principle: say yes to everything...and anything. At first, unleashing the power of “yes” transforms Carl’s life in amazing and unexpected ways, but he soon discovers that opening up his life to endless possibilities can have its drawbacks

Review:Yes is the new no in Jim Carrey's latest hit A familiar theme to "Liar, Liar"? Yes. Does its dependably feature Carrey performing silly stunts with every movable feature of his body? Yes, and it's still a WHOO! Carrey plays one of those seemingly normal guys Carl Allen is a fellow who can't say yes. The truth is, he doesn't want to. Carl is like a lot of us: We're busy, we're invited places we don't want to go, and the reply comes naturally for some. It's just easier to say no. Carrey's Carl is a loan executive who has spent years saying "no." The love of his life dumped him, and he's been in isolation ever since. He turns down loans and party invitations with the same tone.Then he meets an old friend who encourages him to attend a "Say Yes!" conference, where the guru of yes is played by Terence Stamp. Stamp tells his followers to take risks by saying "Yes" to every opportunity. Carrey remains one of my favorite actors a guy Is just being a true performer and not just one of those "funny guys." From what I have heard , This is based on a real-life biography in which author Danny Wallace really did answer "yes" to questions and invitations. And I personally fid myself liking this movie rather if it would to be a documentary. Though it may not deliver the huge laughs one may expect, but there are a fair amount of chuckles and a whole lot of surprisingly effective sweetness.
