What's The Story

Carl Allen's life can be summed up in one tiny syllable: "NO." Cynical, fearful, and stubborn, Carl ducks anything that resembles opportunity, and convinces himself he's content with his comfortable rut. Then along comes a self-help guru who convinces him to turn his every "no" into a "yes." What a difference one word can make! Suddenly Carl finds himself meeting new people, trying new things, even falling in love. But like the Red Bull he's been guzzling, Carl's "yes high" seems headed for a spectacular crash.

Three Good Reasons

  • 1Believe it or not, this comic carpe diem is based on a true story, the British biography of the same name, by humorist Danny Wallace.
  • 2Nobody juggles "off-the-wall" and "inspiring" quite like Jim Carrey. If you loved Liar Liar, you won't want to miss Carrey's latest role as a joyfully reformed cynic.
  • 3Director Peyton Reed is no stranger to quirky comedies, having already brought us Down With Love, The Break-Up, and Bring It On.

Bet You Didn't Know

Real-life "yes man" Danny Wallace could probably teach us all a thing or two about living a full life. At age 22 he became the youngest producer ever to work at the BBC. More about Yes Man on Yahoo! Movies
