Yes Man

The mask man is evidently aged but as he continued to show his ability to contort his facial muscle, it did delight at some parts of the movie. It was a inspirational comedic drama. JC is Carl, some guy who was not sure why he was living his life, especially after he split with his wife.

Then he met a friend, Norman, who was a Yes Man. Someone who believed in some guru guy who makes you want to say Yes to every opportunity that comes along. As usual, it would start badly, as he say his first Yes to a homeless man, fetching him to some park as he used his mobile till batt is dead.

And his car went dead after dropping him, Carl had to walked far to get gas but then it somehow paid off, he saw someone who gave him a ride. Someone he felt that he likes ... then he began his Yes journey. Even at his work, he was approving almost all loans, even peculiar ones for small amounts. This paid off, as he was promoted and then move into the corporate department.

He was back to good terms with his friends and he started learning flying, korean, guitar, even accepting a sexual offer from his old neighbours who was very fond of him since. And he met the girl agan, Allision, someone who he thinks is opposite of him, as she is spontaenous and does alot of different things. They hit it off well and he joined her "morning jog taking blurr pictures" class, went to her gig and went on spontaenous trips.

But since this is a movie, it can't be smooth all the time. He got arrested at the airport with Allison as the officers interrogate him, she found out that he has been saying Yes all the time like following some programme.

It ended well anyway with a slight twist in the end, quite funny. 7/10
