There are times in the past that I have found Jim Carrey's humor to be way over the top. So much so that I actually found it hard to watch. He does physical humor incredibly well and anyone who has been watching him since his "In Living Color" days knows that the man is just about open to anything. Given that, note that he has matured some over the years and stretched his legs so that his comedic offerings have morphed as well. "Yes Man" is a return to some of his old, comedy roots, but not as overly pronounced. I have seen critics pan this film for being too toned back or tame. Perhaps his performance was a little understated, but I actually found it refreshing. Initially I thought I was going to be watching a reimagining of "Liar, Liar," but this was not the case. This was a concept that brought home the philosophy of being open to life and its opportunities wrapped in a humorous package. The concept is not new, but it is well done here with quite a few good laughs, but not the "crazed" Jim Carrey we are used to in such roles. I did not find this to be a problem. Zooey Deschanel was fabulous as she always is (I could melt in those eyes of hers). She was a perfect love interest to play off the character development of Carrey's character "Carl." This movie made me laugh and feel good as well. It brought home some harsh realities, but didn't make them too heavy. Perhaps it hit me on the right night, but I must say, this movie was enjoyable from beginning to end and I recommend it any night you want a decent laugh, a nice rom-com story, and a warm fuzzy. I give Jim Carey and yes man a 4 out of 5. Rent it!
