Yes Man

Who:  Amber
What:  Yes Man
Where:  AMC Pleasure Island
Why:  I didn't want to see Bolt again

This movie was REALLY funny.  If you enjoy the 'classic' Jim Carray movies (like Liar Liar and all his "I make funny faces" movies), then you'll love this flick.

Carl (Jim Carray) is a "no" man.  He got divorced 3 years ago, and he's in a real funk.  He's stuck in his same job, and all he does is watch movies alone at home (he likes the movie Saw - you go Carl!).  He runs into an old acquaintance who forces him to going to a "YES" convention.  A guru tells him to say 'yes' to everything.  Carl starts saying yes to everything (and I mean EVERYTHING), and his life really turns around.

His 'yes' adventures lead him to meet a hot chick, he has fun with his friends staying up all night, he learns hot to fly a small airplane, he has a mail order bride, learns to play the guitar, etc ...

I don't really want to ruin any of the plot points, b/c it's all really funny.  You know the hot chick is going to get mad at him and all that stuff, but it's pretty funny (and not so 'out there' as you might expect) what ends up happening.

I highly recommend this movie!
