Yes Man

Could anyone other than Jim Carrey pull this part off? Few, very few. Maybe Robin Williams, maybe somebody less well known. But Carrey is still perfect for this. It is perhaps one of the best things he has done in a long time.

Zooey Deschanel holds her own here and pulls off a performance worth bragging about. How many others can you name that pair up with such a strong name as Carrey and don't get lost in the shuffle?

There IS a point to this funny movie too. It's all about moderation and making choices that make sense. Along the way there are some great slapstick one usually gets in a Carrey movie but also some very thought worthy drama.

We all know people who are extreme in their personality, one way or another. Watch this movie with one of THOSE people.
