One word, "yes" but in this case "Yes Man", a Peyton Reed film.
I am a fan of Jim Carrey's more insanely silly slapstick comedies like "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" but I am keeping a close eye on his progress with romantic comedies and dramas. Michel Gondry's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is a trip worth taking and "Yes Man" again taps Carrey's growing dramatic appeal. When Tom Hanks and Robin Williams starting turning in serious noteworthy performances, they generated some of film's most riveting moments. My favorites include Robin's heart-wrenching, suspenseful, and damn near explosive therapy sessions with Matt Damon in "Good Will Hunting". As for Hanks, his work in "Philadelphia" is without rival but personally, I relate to his role as school teacher turned captain during wartime set out to save one man for the sake of the soldier's mother.
Give Carrey a chance. Yes, "Yes Man" is more than a spoof movie. It asks you to say "yes" to life and live it to the fullest. Something we all should be thinking about.
