Yes Man

Yes Man stars Jim Carrey as Carl Allen an LA loans officer who can not let go of the hot wife who dumped him and is so damaged that he throws up an iron clad shell around himself so that even his best friends who are constantly throwing him a lifeline are routinely ignored. A chance encounter with an old acquaintance leads him to an encounter with life coaching guru Terrence Bundley (a very charismatic Terence Stamp) who forces Carl into a covenant to eliminate his best friend – the word NO – by saying “yes” to everything. This he does with great reluctance but finds that as promised good things come of it, the best of which is meeting sweet and quirky Allison (a free spirited Zooey Deschanel). It also become apparent that by saying “no” unpleasantness will follow. The upstart of this is that he says “yes” to some creepy yet hysterical stuff but Allison can’t decide if he’s in love or maintaining the covenant. As a winner in the hot and cold filmography of Jim Carrey, Yes Man gets a yes.
