Yes Man: Movie Review (not a spoiler)

Last week while BB was out of town I took myself on a date to see the new Jim Carey movie "Yes Man."  I love all of Jim Carey's funny movies, such as Liar Liar, Cable Guy, and Dumb and Dumber.  This one was fun too, not a favorite but a treat all through.  I knew it would be funny simply based on the concept which is saying "yes" to every opportunity one is offered.  It had a depth to it that was invigorating.  Basically it made the viewer think about how exciting it can be to jump out of one's normal routine and reactions to being asked to do things.  It also had a great soundtrack by the Eels.  I definitely recommend this movie.  Frankly I have not laughed so hard since I saw the movie Step Brothers last month.  If your idea of a good time is watching Jim Carey ride a motorcycle at top speed down a highway in a hospital gown with his bare ass hanging out, then this movie is for you!
