Jim Carey's "Yes Man" - "Liar, Liar" rehash?

[Lookingglassman]

Jim Carey's new movie has him starring as a guy who ends up saying "yes" to everything. After looking at the previews this just seems like a rip off of his previous movie, "Liar, Liar" where he ends up telling the truth all the time.

I guess he needed the money because this movie looks like crap.

 

[LutherSloan]

Yes, I too feel like it's a remake of 'Liar, Liar".

All it needs is Peter Griffin and Mr. Pewterschmidt as an Executive Producer.

 

[The Evil Dead]

Definite Liar, Liar vibe from the trailer...

When was the last time he was in a good movie?

 

[The Evil Dead]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is fairly well regarded... Not my kind of flick, but a lot of people seem to like it.

Last time he was in a good out and out comedy though? Man, ya' got me...

The last movie I saw him in was The Number 23 which was absolutely dreadful.

 

[Silvermane]

"Omelette de fromage"

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

You all say he's in it for the money but according to industry sources he took no pay upfront for the film and will only get money if it makes a rather hefty profit. Interesting twist from a guy that once commanded 20M a pic.

This is the movie based on the book by Danny Wallace, I assume ?

The book is non-fiction. Wallace's books typically based on similar social experiments like challenging his friend Dave Gorman to find all of the other Dave Gormans in the world or starting his own country.

 

[Sephiroth]

hehehe, he has to have a teenage daughter, and she has to ask "Daddy, can i get some fishnets and that leather mini skirt for my date?"

Isn't Carrey going gay soon?

 

[Sephiroth]

they say he will star in Chuck & Larry 2 gay fireman boogaloo

When was the last time he was in a good movie?

Depends: He was an excellent voice in Horton Hear's a Who but acting?

Lemony Snicket was a fun film, Eternal Sunshine, Fun with Dick and Jane, Bruce Almighty...

He took a year off it seems...

 

[Sephiroth]

he doesn't do sequels either

 

[Thespeckledkiwi]

he doesn't do sequels either

There goes Lemony Snicket. What happened to this BTW?

 

[Hermiod]

Isn't Carrey going gay soon?

Well, this movie will inevitably have a scene where he ends up in a gay bar.

 

[Jono]

I thought it looked okay. Pretty standard plot, loser is life goes positive and changes life.

I actually didn't think Carrey was bad in The Number 23, he does creepy, obsessive, imbalanced rather well

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Well as long as it brings a smile to my face I'm sold, i can give Carrey a lot of leeway just because i like him and his zany movies.....as for a non zany pulling silly faces falling over the furniture movies, i thought he did quite a good job with man in the moon.

I'm still waiting for AV3.

 

[slappy]

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls was a sequel.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

and that batman film
