BASED on Danny Wallace's humorous memoir, Yes Man is a comedy about what would happen if one man said 'yes' to everything that he would have previously dismissed with a cursory 'no'.
Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) is a man going nowhere, personally and professionally, still nursing the wounds of a break up with his girlfriend Stephanie (Molly Sims). He attends a self-help seminar, and is publicly shamed into embracing the power of 'yes'. Subsequently, he lands a promotion at work and catches the eye of free-spirited painter and singer Allison (Zooey Deschanel).
But he soon realises that seizing every chance that fate throws his way might just cost him the love of his life.
The film lacks a coherent script and well-developed characters. Deschanel's kooky love interest is adorable but there's no palpable screen chemistry.
