Watch the First Trailer for Jim Carrey's 'Yes Man'
I know Jim Carrey's track record has a few blemishes on it, but I have a good feeling about this one. Yes Man has a simple premise -- a no-fun, take-no-chances guy decides to say yes to everything for a year -- and the trailer feels like the ol' Jim we fell in love with back in the '90s.
Plus, the director is Peyton Reed, who will always hold a place in many people's hearts for Bring It On and the under-appreciated Down with Love. Maybe he can keep Carrey's more buffoonish tendencies in check?
We'll find out when the film is released on Dec. 19. In the meantime, watch the trailer and let us know what you think. Can the premise work? Will it wind up being overly wacky or too cartoonish? Do you agree that Zooey Deschanel should appear in more movies?

(Page 1)2. Looks good, I love Zooey Deschanel she should be in every movie, but it has a whiff of Liar Liar to it don't ya think? Not that Liar Liar was a bad movie.

3. I think the premise is cheesy but funny. The question is will the movie take a direction that allows you to really explore this choice to always say "Yes." I've been too often disappointed in movies with great setups and no real follow through (Children of Men, I'm looking at you).
That said, considering the subject matter, I think it'll be a fine movie, but not one worth seeing on the big screen at $10 a pop. It'll be a renter.

4. Children of Men was awesome. My favorite movie of the year.
That is all.

5. Agreed. Children of Men was fantastic.
And yes, this also immediately reminded me of Liar Liar. Looks like it could be entertaining. Not hilarious, but fun.

1. I'm just anxious that they are going to ruin Danny Wallace's wonderful book. Yes Man is a great story that didn't need to be Hollywood-ized.
