15 minutes in, and one can already rattle off the smart-alecky yet sensible commands to test the resolve of Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) to say yes to everything. Eat dog feces! Strangle the first old lady you see. It takes about an hour and twenty before the film asserts the lesson that the Yes! lesson is pretty dumb. This it does, after calculating that audiences are too stupid to absorb ethics lessons fashioned in socio-political settings, by contextualizing the dillemma in the language of "love".
That said, Zooey Deschanel rocks in more ways than one. Her romantic coupling with Jim Carrey invites Woody Allenish comparisons.
