Yes Man

Ahh...yes, man...hmm...plus a girl = A stale comedy that is confused with being romantic. I gotta give it to ya Jim you really had me in stitches- not! Popcorn at the movies could have never seemed more appealing- it was all I was interested in. I mean, seriously, those wacky faces, the getting tangled up in tape, the funny walk and slapstick gone overboard are just not what people want to see anymore, well for me especially. And to think that the producers got hold of Zoey Deschanel (nice name though) who's probably half Jim's age, on and off-screen, to be paired to him is perhaps another reason why not to see this movie. Jim's moving on into his 50's and those "I used to be a loser and after a heck of a breakthrough here's the love of my life and what do ya know, I ain't no loser no more! " comic relief come romance genres are not what you want to associate with someone who's passed half a century. He'd be better off playing Hoffman's character in Meet the Fockers or something like that. They played a very diffrent ball game and more often than not it just does not work. If this was something along the line of The Mask or Ace Ventura than certainly without a doubt it might have got me going...or not. Comedies are treasured collections for nachos or popcorn and beer nights and you want to still be able to watch it 10, 15 years down the line with the same kind of wit anticipation without being put off by sick jokes.
