Yes Man Reviews

As self-help comedy, the movie is no more overdetermined than its own highbrow counterpart, Happy-Go-Lucky.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

It's a decent enough time-killer for Carrey fans and those after something light and non-taxing after a heavy Christmas Day feast.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

As much as I try to convince myself I'm tired of Jim Carrey, darn it, he almost always amuses me.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

I have to admit that it was pretty funny a lot of the time.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5

A ready-made Christmas-time crowd-pleaser that pretty much plays it safe, even in its cruder moments, and will be in circulation on cable soon enough.

Mr. Carrey's performance is a return to the rubber-faced roles that dominated multiplexes in the mid- to late '90s, and that's not necessarily a good thing.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Yes Man is proof that reverse psychology works; No, it's not worth seeing because, no, it's not that funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

The benefits of grounding comedy in reality are never-ending, and Yes Man takes advantage of most of them. Peyton Reed is officially one of my favorite comic directors.

[The] writers...pay lip service to the dark side of 'yes,' but don't do enough to explore what could have made the film more than a bouncy entertainment. [Blu-ray]

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

...Jim Carrey's most entertaining comedy since 1997's Liar Liar...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

I found myself having a few pleasant chuckles but still frustrated at the movie for not bothering with telling a story that hasn't already been told a million times before.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

A film that has little plot until the last act, yet Carrey rises above it to bring it to an acceptable level.

...a pleasant surprise: a romantic comedy that is cute, amiable, and winning without being excessively tedious, saccharine, or gross.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10

we won't be awarding points for originality, but sometimes the familiar can be just fine

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Sporadically funny, mostly amusing and harmless.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

Peyton Reed peca por jamais conseguir definir o tom que pretende empregar.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Jim Carrey's career has succumbed to painfully mediocre comedies and genre missteps for so long that "Yes Man" barely registers even as you're watching it.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

The most even-keeled, pleasant and mainstream movie Jim Carrey has made in many a moon.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

Numbingly predictable and not as filled with action as the misleading poster suggests.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

It's charming enough with some nice comedy touches, but the initially intriguing premise is soon railroaded out of sight by its desire to conform to a tried-and-tested cinematic formula.
