Carl Allen has stumbled across a way to shake free of post-divorce blues and a dead-end job: embrace life and say yes to everything.

My review · Reviewed 01/24/2023

As with so many other romantic comedies, the blueprint has been set. In this movie you have Jim Carrey doing his best Jim Carrey and you introduce an angle (always saying yes) and a conflict (always saying yes isn't always a good thing). The script follows the plan well enough and the movie is.... fine. Nothing more, nothing less.
