Yes Man

Actually, I tried to give this movie three stars, but my finger just wouldn’t click on it. It wasn’t a bad movie, exactly. It was just one of those mindless comedies. Honestly, I was left feeling like Jim Carrey’s incredible talent was being wasted in a banal movie like this. Still, I think maybe it deserved more than 2 stars. 2 and 1/2? At no point was the movie excruciatingly bad. But that’s not exactly praise, is it? It was cute. That’s all I can say about it.
Personally, I think Jim Carrey suffers from the same thing that Robin Williams does. His talent is so off-the-wall that Hollywood just doesn’t know what to do with him. It’s been a long time since Carrey was in a movie that suited his kinetic talents. I think we can add Yes Man to the pile of movies that didn’t hit the mark.
2 out of 5 stars
