Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
josepainumkal It is a good movie. Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel just nailed their roles and thoroughly enjoyed their chemistry onscreen. There are some great comedies that made me laugh at many occasions. Yes! Go n watch it.
Mr Black I really like this film. I've always been a Jim Carey fan. Pretty much liked everything he's been in. He's not quite so wild in this film. A little tamer perhaps than wacky, but he's funny and really plays the part well. Bonus for me was seeing Zooey Deschanel in this movie. I think she's terrific in just about every thing. She is one of the most natural actresses out there. Funniest moment was when they met and she's wearing the scooter helmet with the two big eyes. That scene alone tells you what kind of girl she is. Anyway,, a bit of a formula movie - but who cares. Was fun to watch and I really enjoyed it. Performances from all actors was great.
myunghoonjoo Yes! You live your life! That is what this movie is about. If you are already doing it, then you really know your own way to be happy. But there are some people who struggle to find their own freedom, and lock themselves up in prison called Eyes of Society. I am going to give them an inkling that might set themselves free. This is story of Carl who has been living in boredom. He has a negative look on his life, but becoming a "Yes Man" changes his life completely. Famous comedy actor Jim Carry played Carl, and he was flawless in the film.Someone like me will have sympathy for Carl because Carl is mirror image of me. Carl has a simple life(such as working every week, buying food, and watching TV then going to bed). Doing the same thing day in, day out gives him ennui. I feel for him. After watching how Carl's life changes I felt the urge to do things that I had in my mind for a long time. Such things like learning how to play piano, taking an acting class, and participating in a tango club on weekend make me feel alive, and satisfied. Money can not buy me these emotions because it never did and never will.I want you to look Carl carefully, and hope that you would feel the same way that I did. If some of you are experiencing this, then I highly recommend you to see this film. If I do something that I want, I always consider what other people might think of me, because I care so much about how people see me. I have been hiding my interests from everyone around me. Apparently I wanted to be a good person. Unfortunately the more I tried, the less I felt happy or satisfied. Carl may have the answer for you, just like he gave it to me.
lisafordeay Jim Carrey is one if not my favourite comedic actor of all time. His quirky,silly,over the top and just down right insane is one word to describe him as a whole. So he decided to star in his romantic comedy debut(since all the other films he starred in were just comedies and not romantic) and it shows in this movie that his not as funny as he used to be.Here he plays a man called Carl Allen,a depressed banker(like his charcther in The Mask, Stanley Ipkiss who was also a banker)who always says no to everything.All Carl does on his night out is rent DVDs and spends some time with himself,as he suffered a marriage breakdown with a girl called Stephaine and his just laying cool. But when a friend of his invites him to go to a conference held by Terrence Stamp who persuades Carl to say Yes to everything, things starts happening like one where he meets and falls for a quirky singer songwriter named Alison(played by singer songwriter/actress Zooey Deschanel)who Carl met in a petrol station,and they spend some time together during their time together like going to a no- entry concert hall,gong to Nebraska for a weekend and of course fall for each other. But will he and Alison get together in the end well you have to see the film to know what is happening.Like I said Jim Carrey is a funnyman. His serious roles just don't suit him at all as without his over the top charm,his just a boring dull guy. And well.........it shows in this film. I enjoyed it as it was on last night and parts of it was funny but it was a bit boring as it wasn't Jim Carrey's best. Jim might as well quit acting and start something else.5/10Out of 5 stars 2.5/5C-
