Jim Carrey stars as Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere—the
operative word being “no”—until he signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say “yes” to everything...and anything.

 

 

Unleashing the power of “YES” begins to transform Carl’s life in amazing and unexpected ways, getting him promoted at work and opening the door to a new romance. But his willingness to embrace every opportunity might just become too much of a good thing.

 

Carl Allen is in a rut. When he’s not turning down loan applications at the bank where he works, he is turning down invitations from his friends, watching television alone on his couch. He’s effectively become a “No Man.”

 

Carl’s life takes an unexpected and radical turn when he grudgingly attends a
self-help seminar led by a “Yes” guru who urges his devotees to say yes more and transform their lives. The initially skeptical Carl agrees to try spontaneity by saying yes… to everything. It throws him off course at first, but then it really gets him to take stock of himself and to invest in life again.
