Review: Yes Man
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".
Evidently that air of reckless affirmation – regardless of the consequences - appears to extend to the film-makers, who really should have thought twice about committing to a project that lacks a coherent script or well-developed characters.
Writing trio Nicholas Stoller, Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel take a neat central conceit and go nowhere with it, contriving a series of ludicrous vignettes that guarantee maximum gurning from rubber-faced leading man Jim Carrey, pictured below left.
Carl Allen (Carrey) oversees the approval of loan applications at the bank where he works alongside nerdy, Harry Potter-obsessed boss Norm (Rhys Darby).
He is a man going nowhere,
so decides to attend a self-help seminar run by the enigmatic Terrence Bundley (Terence Stamp).
Publicly shamed into embracing the power of 'yes', Carl embraces this radical, new code of conduct and miraculously begins to reap the benefits. However, saying yes to everything soon lands Carl in hot water.
Yes Man is a pot pourri of lacklustre elements. While the lead character says yes without thinking, we have to say no.
