Jim Carrey's 'Yes Man': Yes, no, or maybe?

This trailer made me smile. Plus I love Zooey Deschanel. I'll probably go see this.

I think this one will do well, actually, due to the strength of the supporting cast. Too much Jim Carey can be hard to handle, but when he's tempered by others, he is easier to stomach. Popular premise, too....continues the Hollywood trend of Men behaving like boys (Bradley Cooper has done this role before too) and trying to hold onto youth.

It actually made me smile- something Jim Carrey ahsn't done for me in a while. It's definately a rental at least.

In my head, these seemed like a much funnier idea. Watching the trailer, it looks pretty bland.

I too will say NO to this movie and reread Danny Wallace's hilarious book instead.

I do not find Jim Carey amusing at all.

The book this is based on is fantastic! Yesman by Danny Wallace and has nothing to do with this movie! I think i'm going to spend my time re-reading the book then seeing this...

I laughed at a couple of the jokes! I'm surprised because I haven't found Jim Carrey funny in years. I might go see this one.

is that little suri cruise in the opening of the trailer? the little girl with the paint brush?

So, Jim Carrey is, what, twenty years older than Zooey D? If their genders were reversed, the movie's plot would be all about how weird it is. But since the female is the young one, it's just business as usual. Remember when he was Laura Linney's age?

I've never liked Jim Carrey movies. This doesn't look like it will change my mind. I do love Zooey Deschanel, though.

Don't worry Krikky, the new season, according to Bret and Jemaine, is being filmed later this year.

Oh and this movie looks at least amusing. More than I could say for some of the other films being released this year. A Jim Carrey movie is safe...I like safe things.

Not a chance. Carrey lost his knack for funny too many years ago for this work. Boy I miss the Funny Carrey.

MURRAY!!!

RHYS DARBY!!! I'll see it for him alone... Gosh I miss Flight of the Conchords :(

It's Murray!! YAY MURRAY!!!

Eli Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 03:28 PM EST

YES! YES! YES this does look like CRAP, and YES, I am going to miss it.

Maybe I'm in a strange frame of mind today, but I actually laughed at that trailer and I can't remember the last time I even giggled at a Jim Carrey movie clip. I don't think we're tired of plots like this, just tired of his over-the-top antics. He can still be genius when he tones it down.

Lauren Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 02:10 PM EST

I strangely think that looks pretty amusing, as opposed to some of Jim Carrey's most recent fare. It's not as if he is not capable of saying anything but yes or no, like in Liar, Liar, but he just opens himself up to new experiences. Could be entertaining. The supporting cast looks great.
