Yes Man



Yes Man, directed by Peyton Reed, is about a man named Carl Allen (Jim Carrey), who is down on his luck, when he decides to go to a self-improvement seminar. The lecture is about different opportunities that present themselves to different people and the exercise requires that no matter what options are available, good or bad, the response should be “yes”. After going to the seminar he challenges himself to say "yes" to everything. Carl's world is turned upside down by the power of "yes" he finally sees that things are changing when he meets a girl named Allison (Zooey Deschanel) who has a lot of hobbies including photography while running, singing in Munchausen by Proxy, to name a few. The word yes seems to be making Carl's life go in the right directing until Allison finds out about it and that’s when things get interesting. You'll just have to go out and watch this film to and see what happens next.
