Carrey is a loans clerk stuck in a self-isolating rut when he's persuaded to attend a motivation conference where the participants have to agree to say Yes to everything. This results in mostly slightly muted mayhem - with some memorable comic moments e.g. Carrey's serenading of a potential suicide.It's a good vehicle for Carrey's particular type of physical comedy and personally, I've warmed to him considerably as I've revisited a few of his films over this last year.
The film is notable for one character's prescient obsession with taking selfies using a Polaroid before they became a ubiquitous feature of smartphones.
Add in a gently uplifting life message - good things happen when you say Yes - and a bit of light romance - and I came away from this feeling my 30 pence had been well spent on this DVD.
Verdict: Enjoyable and undemanding rom-com.
