Watched yes man. It was an awesome movie.
Since I don't want to sleep yet 'cause I promised myself I'll start doing my homework on the monday after the Choir performance, I shall burn my time by doing a Yes Man review.
--
PLOT: Carl Allen (Jim Carrey)is a miserable man. Like all miserable men, he is stuck in a bank cubicle and buys off DVDs from a tiny miserable DVD loan shop. One day his old friend took him to this convention. The friend stated that saying "Yes" in his life made him a different man and had accomplished many wonderful things such as climbing the Kilimanjaro and bazooka-ing a cow, which I presume is in Cambodia. (Check out number 1 on the list: it's real). So after that convention and getting beaten up by some scraggy old man, he took a hobo to this park but ran out of gas and phone battery. He went down to the gas station while being a whiny little kid, meets this hot chick(Zooey Deschanel), makes out and went home. The next day onwards, he started saying yes and happy things happens when he does but bad things happens when he says no, like in the instance of a neighbour grandma giving him AHEMAHEM "Service".
One thing led to another and he started saying yes to Korean language lessons, Persian online bridal service, Guitar lessons (Which turned out to be useful when he tried saving a man), and flying lessons. With that hot chick he met at the gas station, went to Nebraska. The second time he went to the airport to go to a random trip, security stopped him. Apparently, he has been under watch of the government and is considered suspicious because he learnt Korean, which made them think he's connected to the nuclear filled North Korea, have a Persian wife, 'cause of persia, Loaned money to a fertilizer bussiness, which made them thing that he's making bomb and taking flying lessons, which is useful for terrorizing a country. His friend/lawyer came and explained his whole "Yes" thing and his hot chi- I mean girlfriend Allison is offended by the fact that he said yes to living with her 'cause he had to, stormed out of the room and ran away in a taxi cab.
But in the end, that scraggy old man who told him to say yes to anything told him (in the hospital, long story) that he only had to say yes to what he really wanted to. So he went on his male nurse friend Lee's chopper and kicked some Toyota ass with his awesome riding. Went to Allison's usual 6 am "Jogging photography club" and told her he loved her etc etc. Makes out and and the photographers took pictures. Oh and he was butt naked. Literally butt naked.
Themes: Ok, the theme is pretty similar to all Jim Carrey films. Jim Carrey finds out this new thing in life and got superly lucky but has problems in the middle. Some inspirational tear jerker moments and ends nicely. Oh, this doesn't apply to Series of Unfortunate events tho'.
Writing: The lines were pretty good. It started out rough, the audience didn't laugh at "laugh" moments. It's not that they didn't get it but it just wasn't funny. But towards the middle, around the bridal shower part, it started to get hillarious. In my opinion, the part when he got caught by security is the best part. Hahaha. But there isn't any catchy lines you could grasp on though, something fun in a movie.
Family suitability: With all those swearing and sexual jokes (Getting a head from a granny), I don't reccomend it for 10 and under. I did watch it with my 7 year old brother tho. Oh and swear words (D*ck, F-) weren't censored so if you don't want your little baby kids to start mouthing you bad words whenever you change the channel from barney or the Wiggles, don't bring them in.
Overall impression: It's good. I hate to admit it but it's good. Although with the cheesy inspirational "Yes" theme and lines, It's good. It makes you want to say yes. It got what it wanted. Sneaky bastards.
Stars?
We all love stars.
3/5 stars. 4/5 stars for putting hotstuff Zooey Deschanel in. ;D
