Leave your thoughts about Yes Man.
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerIt's banal and inane; Jim Carrey needs better projects. |
| New York PressArmond WhiteToo bad Yes Man is directed by Peyton Reed, a tone-deaf, buzz-kill comedy specialist. You've never seen Carrey flail like he does under Reed's incompetence. |
| Movies.comDave WhiteI have to admit that it was pretty funny a lot of the time. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerTravis NicholsThough it's a star vehicle, Carrey seems only marginally interested in rehashing the role of sweet spaz, and so he almost feels miscast. |
| Illinois TimesCharles KoplinskiA film for our time, in the Frank Capra tradition. |
| Kansas City StarLoey LockerbyA movie about taking risks should not be this safe. |
| SlateDana StevensPerhaps Yes Man's writers got confused by the film's tag line, 'Yes Is the New No.' In honor of that convoluted axiom, here's my one-word review. Should you go see Yes Man?: Yes. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)Mark AdamsYes Man is a terrific feelgood comedy, with Jim Carrey in brilliant form. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawSort of ho-hum stuff, but nice to see a cameo from Rhys Darby, from TV's Flight of the Conchords. |
| MoviedexAnders WotzkeYes Man is proof that reverse psychology works; No, it's not worth seeing because, no, it's not that funny. |
