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.

I am going to see this tonight on a date with my wife before the inlaws invade (and I mean that in the truest sense of the word) for the next week. Not sure what to expect - something along the lines of Liar, Liar - some laugh out loud moments, terrible to no plot, and some crude humor. Hey, can't be worse than "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and I try stay away from Will Smith "emotional" movies (Seven Pounds). Still haven't seen Pursuit of Happyness.

I wanted to see Slumdog Millionaire, but will wait to catch it on DVD most likely.

I gotta say that I liked this movie. It was predictable, sure, but quite fun none-the-less. And Zooey Deschanel, while not "hot", is cute and plays her character well. There is a particularly "adult" scene in the movie, so be careful with kids (in my opinion). Laugh out loud funny in many spots and the movie really kept moving. I was pleasantly surprised. Terrence Stamp was great as well.

I was also surprised that Watchmen will be rated R. They had a good trailer though.

I love Carrey movies and this one was really enjoyable. It was even better considering we saw it after Mall Cop at the drive-in.

Not sure how I missed this one; I love Jim Carrey.

Funny movie and a heck of a cast. Absolutely loved the Ducati scene. It took me down a rabbit hole and I ended up watching this awesome Journey video from 1983 (Separate Ways). You can't get more 80s than this.
