Yes Man

ComedyRomance104 min

Carl Allen has built his life around saying no, until a self-help seminar pushes him into a single rule: say yes to everything. Jim Carrey is Carl, a bank employee whose new all-in approach sends him into impulsive classes, strange favors, and opportunities he would have avoided before. Along the way, Zooey Deschanel drifts into the story as an offbeat love interest who fits the film’s more spontaneous turn. As Carl’s blanket optimism starts reshaping his job, friendships, and dating life, the joke becomes how far one simple rule can stretch before it starts running the show.
