Yes Man (Review)

What I knew going in:
Jim Carrey tries to re-launch his career by doing what he's known for: Being a complete goofball.

Hype:
Meh+ I didn't get a chance to see it when it first came out but I took it in this weekend while I was trying to come up with a business profile of myself. Yep - 90 minutes and I have maybe two paragraphs. **sigh**

Opening Thoughts:
Jim Carrey being an idiot? Check. Zoey Deschanel still ridiculously hot? Check. Romantic Comedy Plot going exactly where I expect it to? Check. 'Seperate Ways' by Foreigner as a ringtone for your best MALE friend? WTF? How did THAT get through editing? Just leaned the lamp over to turn it on and dumped an entire Beowulf Mug of cold cold water on my ass? Check.

Bottom Line:
Its not Liar Liar but it has some good lines and funny moments. Outside of that, and its basic level of competence, this is a typical cookie-cutter Romantic Comedy. You know what? To hell with that. That whole Genre of films isn't even deserving of two seperate words so from now on I'm calling 'em Romedys. Don't expect too much and you won't be too disappointed. Its definately not funny enough to relaunch a career on. I saw the other day that Ace Ventura Jr. Pet Detective came out direct to DVD and I think he might have been better off doing another one of those. Zoey, you can stay in the "relevant" column, but Jim, I'm sorry to say you're moved over to the "Has Been" list.
