Yes Man (2008)

Comedy, Romance |

Yes Man is romantic-comedy film directed by Peyton Reed, written by Nicholas Stoller, Jarrad Paul, and Andrew Mogel and starring Jim Carrey and co-starring Zooey Deschanel. The film is based loosely on the 2005 book of the same name by humorist Danny Wallace, who also makes a cameo appearance in the film.

Production for the film began in Los Angeles in October 2007. It was released on December 19, 2008 in the United States and was then released in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2008. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but was a box office success, making $223 million worldwide.

Carl, a bank loan officer, has become withdrawn since his divorce from his former wife Stephanie. He has an increasingly negative outlook on his life and routinely ignores his friends Peter and Rooney. An old colleague, Nick suggests that he goes to a motivational “Yes!” seminar with him, which encourages its attendants to seize the opportunity to say “Yes!”. Carl attends and meets inspirational guru Terrence. Terrence publicly forces a reluctant Carl to promise to answer “Yes!” to every opportunity, request, or invitation that presents itself.

Later, Carl says yes to a homeless man’s request and is stranded in Elysian Park. Disillusioned, he hikes to a gas station where he meets Allison, an unorthodox young woman. She gives him a ride back to his car on her scooter and kisses him before leaving. After this positive experience, Carl feels more optimistic about saying yes.
