(1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 47% Rotten Page   1   2.5/5 "Yes Man is proof that reverse psychology works; No, it's not worth seeing because, no, it's not that funny."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke "'Yes Man' serves as a showcase for Jim Carrey's comedy skills. It's designed strictly for laughs -- and there are plenty of them here."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B "It's a formula picture all the way, but Carrey and the supporting cast sure make it seem better than that."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 3/5 "With a premise far more promising than anything offered up onscreen, and a star treading water where once he tore **** up, Yes Man is a comedy in theory only."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron C "Carrey's gusto helps to squeeze some pleasure out of the familiarity of it all, but the film hardly satisfies that special need to be slapped around by a comedy."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf C- "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."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 2/5 "t's easy to wish that Jim Carrey had declined the chance to appear in this film that celebrates saying "Yes" to life's possibilities."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2.5/4 "...Jim Carrey's most entertaining comedy since 1997's Liar Liar..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "A high-concept comedy that you can practically set your watch to. It's pleasant enough, yes, but it's also exceedingly predictable and the screenplay forces conflict upon the plot at the sacrifice of the characters' IQs."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "Much like the self-help guru it enables, it exists solely to get your money like a good little follower and then ask you to ignore the doubt that comes with having plunked down exorbitant theater prices for a barely average comedy."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C "There's a thoughtful story here struggling to bloom, and the movie stamps it down at every opportunity. Even Jim Carrey's classic manic energy, usually so welcome, is oppressive."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D "A sad spectacle...nothing more than a series of labored sketches in which Carrey flails about trying to recapture the zaniness of his early years."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "A frolicsome spiritual comedy about a loser whose life is turned around when he opens himself up to a new world of possibilities by saying yes to what presents itself."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "It's pleasant to watch something a little less intellectually taxing between all the would-be Oscar contenders. Yes Man is that movie -- undemanding, light, and enjoyable on its own terms."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 9/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 5/10 "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."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "...a pleasant surprise: a romantic comedy that is cute, amiable, and winning without being excessively tedious, saccharine, or gross."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 4/5 "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."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/5 "It's not Shakespeare, but Yes Man is a very funny movie and provides one of the best escapes in theaters right now."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B- "...when [Carrey's] on, orchestrating a fall like Rube Goldberg, taping up his face or hyper-monologuing his way through a soliloquy on Red Bull, he's a comic treat."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Yes! We can take everything that is intriguingly dark and almost sinister about crying-on-the-inside clown Jim Carrey and make it light! and upbeat! and unambiguous!"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "May not deliver the huge laughs one may expect, but there are a fair amount of chuckles and a whole lot of surprisingly effective sweetness."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3/4 "There is nothing new or ambitious about Yes Man. It is intended to be a textbook Jim Carrey silly comedy, and honestly, that's just fine by me."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "The film nicely hints at the interconnection of all things and the way the messages we send out to the universe -- whether yes or no -- reverberate and return to us."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2/4 "That stink emanating from the vicinity of Yes Man is desperation."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Peyton Reed peca por jamais conseguir definir o tom que pretende empregar."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 " An especially lame comedy with a premise so threadbare that it might have been deemed unsuitable for a Rob Schneider direct-to-video vehicle and an execution so tired and listless that it almost makes you yearn for the likes of "Ace Ventura II""   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2/5 "The central theme of this rather over-egged comedy is strong enough to keep us interested. Although the film itself is far too corny"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "A film that has little plot until the last act, yet Carrey rises above it to bring it to an acceptable level."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 1.5/5 "the flimsiest comedic premise of Carrey's career"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 5/10 "It's banal and inane; Jim Carrey needs better projects."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 47% Rotten Page   1
