2.0 out of 5 stars
Carrey subdued, Jan 13 2010
This review is from: Yes Man / Monsieur Oui (English/French Version) (DVD)
The concept of this movie is great--a guy who always says no to everything is convinced to change his life he must say yes to everything. This could have been mined for great comedic laughs especially given Jim Carrey is the lead actor here. Sadly, the script is terrible. The worse is the last 20 minutes where it devolves into some sort of pining woe-is-me before, of course, the happy ending.
The cast is pretty decent and deserved better. Having said that the lead actress Zooey (yep, that's her name) Deschanel is not very appealing. She plays a character with her own quirks but it's so low key you'd think she's comatose at times. She also is very unbelievable when she tries for angry in a scene.
No extras at all on this version of the DVD and, frankly, if you do make it through this movie without fast-forwarding any of it, Warner Bros. should give you a medal or something.
