This has to be the stupidest movie ever.
>the guy is "loser"
>has great friends and has a great job
>starts saying yes to everything
>has time and money for clubbing,jogging in the morning,movie marathons,flying lessons,korean and guitar lessons,flying randomly all over USA and all that with steady girlfriends and a core group of friends
Oh and why are two of his best friends 15 years younger than him?
Yes, but it had Bradley in his pornfidelity phase
Holy shit,the similarity is uncanny. But enough of that,I want this thread to be Yes Man bashing.
One thing I forgot to add is that he works 9 to 5 in a bank. I have seen movies with talking dogs that are more realistic.
Was this before or after Carrey's "serious" phase? I remember Fun with Dick and Jane coming out AFTER he said he was done with comedy. You could see the tears in his eyes as he realized he would never amount to anything but a clown. Yes Man proved that fairly well, he tried to make a comedy without resorting to silly faces and it bombed, simply because Carrey is nothing without his slapstick. Just a middle-aged man with ADHD and a psychotic grin.
This was between the two serious phases. He went comedy-serious-comedy-serious-whatever the fuck he is doing now.
Has anyone read the book? I'm sure Danny Wallace got a sweet payday between this and being snarky brit from Assassin's Creed
Has Carey had a single serious phase? His filmography is sprinkled with a few "serious" roles, but he's never tried to be a hard drama actor (I.e. Robin Williams) before.
Not everyone is as useless and unloved as you, loser.
This movie always fills me with rage
>Underachieving loser who cannot find any pleasure in life
>Spends his time between job and his apartment
>Joins a cult and starts saying yes to everything
>Literally within 5 minutes of screentime has a woman 15 years younger than him become the love of his life and live happily ever after
Is there any film that actually does this properly? Like it has someone go out of their comfort zone, the world doesn't start revolving around them but they take small pleasures in life?
I am in the process of reading it now and to be honest I don't like his humor. It's like reading a sitcom. Also his life wasn't so bad,he literally got texts inviting him to hang out every day. The first yes day he got 3 invitations.
I saw him on a few panel shows and he was reasonably funny, I think, he wasn't very memorable.
I didn't mean that he wasn't funny I just meant that I don't like the fact that his biography is written like a sitcom,full of quick cuts and improbably stupid people and random humor.
>it's a jim carrey is surrounded by people who laugh histerically at his jokes episode
>it's a jim carrey wears a suit as often as possible episode
it's a propaganda called white man's problem. Its main purpose is to paralyze the white population that their lives are actually good but they need purpose and they can find it if they just say yes to colored people
it was better when it was called liar, liar
>Oh and why are two of his best friends 15 years younger than him?
Because he built his career on children's movies. That particular generation is his main audience.
I guess nobody remembers The Number 23, which is the only one besides Eternal Sunshine that I can really think of.
The Majestic and Man on Moon
It's creepy as hell,that's what it is.
I preferred the female centered remake
what about Truman Show
