Yes Man

Yes Man (2008) starring Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel. Carl (Carrey) attends a seminar and makes a pact to start saying "Yes" to everything. When a hobo asks him for a ride, he says "Yes." When the hobo asks him for all the money in his wallet, he says "Yes." And so on. Deschanel provides the romantic interest as a motorcycle-driving singer in a weird band. The movie moves along at a nice clip for about an hour, then hits a roadblock when the characters travel to Lincoln, Nebraska. Suddenly, everything goes wrong, and the film never quite recovers. Still, it's a sweet, likable movie. (English subtitles for the hearing-impaired are available on the disc.) Grade: B
