At a time where the world is cynical and people are skeptical about trusting the person sitting right next to them, here comes an amusing story of a man who accepts everything life brings – uninhibitedly!

Based on a true story and an adaptation of the 2005 book The Yes Man by British humourist Danny Wallace, the film Yes Man is the choice film to lift one’s spirits in the doom and gloom of the credit crunch. A sweet romantic comedy directed by Peyton Reed, ‘YES Man’ brings with it a lot of smiles and a feeling of positivity.

The movie sees ‘Liar Liar’ man Jim Carrey back in form playing Carl Allen, a pessimistic loan officer this time around. Carl Allen can’t connect to anyone. He constantly avoids friends and he lives his life in the shadows accepting his fate. He has gone through the majority of his life since his divorce saying “no” to virtually anything and everything in an effort to maintain solitude and avoid getting hurt again.

But when an old buddy shows up and sways him into attending a “YES” seminar, conducted by Terrence Bundley (Terence Stamp in a scary, wacky self guru caricature), he reluctantly decides to take a chance. Carl decides to say “YES” to everything, no matter what it may be. And suddenly… his life begins to change for the better. Or so it seems.

Carl’s suddenly approving loans, learning Korean, taking up the guitar, learning to fly a plane. And even ends up finding the love of his life in the free spirited Alison (Zooey Deschanel) who, though a peculiar match for someone like Carl, brings out his adventurous side.

Embracing every opportunity that comes along transforms Carl’s life in unexpected and amazing ways, but it also forces him to wonder – Can you have too much of a good thing?

Yes Man tries to tell us something about how we live our lives. This film celebrates the unexpected, and shares the lesson that the moments in life only happen when you truly let yourself go and learn to say yes more. So with all the negative energy in the world, why not just say yes? To everything!

Ask yourself now – what are you the most afraid of doing?  And change it by saying yes to it!
