YES Man

Caught "Yes Man" last night. The show was about a man who was forever saying "no" to new stuff and made excuses to be away from the crowd. As a result, he was trapped in his own routine of working in the same job for 8 years and his only activity after work was to hit the DVD store and spend the rest of the night on his counch in front of the TV. The change came when he attended a seminar where he was made to draw up a covenant with himself to say "yes" to everything that came his way. It was hard in the beginning but after that saying "yes" become his habit. He took up a new foreign language which came in useful when he was dealing with a grumpy Korean salesgirl. Guitar lessons which he enabled him to play and sing to a man who was contemplating sucide and he was able to persuade the guy to see the light with his music and lyrics. However when saying "yes' became an automatic response, it brought on nasty recourses like all things when you bring them to the extreme The show taught us that we should always stop and listen our heart and say "yes" when you truely meant it.

The show was hilarous as with the rest of the Jim Carrey's shows. I spent an entertaining 2 hrs laughing at Jim's Carrey's performance. Though it was not as thought provoking as his " The Truman Show", nonethless it was still one of the better movies I had caught as compared to the ones I had watched for the past 6 months.
