yes man

this movie really makes me wish jim carrey would do a third 'ace ventura' movie! he does a good job of playing the normal every-man, but he is at his best when he gets those brief moments of manic craziness- so why not just do another 'ace ventura' where its all manic craziness?!?
this story follows a guy who never does anything, just keeps to himself, and always turns down any offers to do anything social. but, after attending a seminaar where he is confronted and convinced to say 'yes' to everything, he does. this leads to all kinds of kooky high-jinks. there are some funny moments in the film, but it just made me wish for more. i dont understand why jim carrey forces himself to do these calm and boring characters, he's got so much more than that to offer! because he stays subdued, many of the laughs are stolen from him by rhys darby who plays his boss norman. its pretty bad when a relative unknown (other than 'flight of the concords') can steal away a movie from someone as big as jim carrey! also, i've got to say, the relationship between 29 year old zooey daschanel and 47 year old jim carrey is not even remotely believable...
