Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Jim Carrey is heroic at trying to keep the movie alive, and succeeds when he is free to be goofy and not locked into yes-and-consequences. | 10 | |
eye Weekly Adam Nayman The borderline ick factor inherent in Carl and Allison’s impulsive, montage-abetted courtship is the only thing in this moribund movie that provokes any sort of response beyond mild boredom. | 1 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers If you're thinking ''yuck,'' you're right. I added the extra star for Zooey Deschanel, who is so delicious as his honey that you want not to say no to Yes Man. | 10 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Unless you can't stand Carrey and his usual brand of physical comedy, fans of the comedic actor will probably be hard-pressed to say no to ''Yes Man.'' | 10 | |
