Over the weekend Mrs. TAE and I enjoyed the movie "Yes Man" starring Jim Carrey last night. The plot was pretty good, the supporting cast was strong (TAE always loves Bradley Cooper's work and Danny Masterson was barely recognizable but brilliant), and the typical rom-com plot devices were refinished in a way that made them cliche but not annoyingly so.
However, at the end of the movie, I felt that it could have starred any male on Earth and probably have been just as good...if not better. Jim Carrey was probably brought in because hey, it's a comedy and he's Mr. Comedy. But at times when Carrey (47) was hugging a baby-faced Zooey Deschanel (29), it looked like an over-the-hill father comforting his college-age daughter...and then they started making out. Carrey does not look young for his age, but Deschanel does. The casting was a May-December romance that I found both awkward and hard to believe.
Otherwise a good movie.
