Yes Man

Blog No. 3: Yes Man

This is still my week of experimentation on blogger, so here's something else different.

Yesterday, whilst at the mall with KT, Sarah, Piper, and Tom, we saw Yes Man and I've got to say it's one of my favorite movies of all time.

If you really want to rain on my parade, here are some downers:

Yes: It is cheezy (cheeze- over the top dramatic and cliched) what with the predictable story plot and dramatic conflict.

Yes: It has Jim Carey in it.

Yes: It is very VERY much like Liar Liar. Also very predictable when tied with the first two.

Now for why I like it:

Yes: It made me laugh, and I mean genuinely laugh. I easily forget why Jim Carey is a comedic alumni. He could be annoying if you poke at the subject for too long. But me and Piper were literally laughing out loud in the theater. I could tell some others were annoyed by us, but we didn't care.

Yes: It made me look forward for tomorrow, at the risk of sounding cheezy. It had a message, an obvious message yes, but still an important message of enjoying life and being more open to everything. I totally wanted to start more projects now, maybe pick up the guitar again!

YES: It had Zooey Deschanel in it. How spontanneous can you get? Teaching a jogging photography class. Zooey fit the role perfectly, being the female lead as an artist who doesn't follow the stabillity of society and is comfortable in her skin. The movie sparked a popcorn fight and a jogging photography match between Piper and I. :D

Rating: 3.5 out of 4 thumbs up!
