From the director of such hit comedies as The Break-Up and Bring It On comes Warner Bros.' positively hilarious tale Yes Man starring comic superstar Jim Carrey.

In the film, Carl Allen (Carrey) 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.

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.

Peyton Reed directed Yes Man from a screenplay by Nicholas Stoller and Jarrad Paul & Andrew Mogel, based on the book by Danny Wallace.  The film is produced by Oscar®-winning producer Richard Zanuck (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) and David Heyman (the Harry Potter films, I Am Legend).  Marty Ewing, Dana Goldberg and Bruce Berman serve as executive producers.

Yes Man also stars Zooey Deschanel (Bridge to Terabithia), Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers), John Michael Higgins (Fred Claus) and Terence Stamp (Get Smart).

Opening soon across the Philippines, Yes Man is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
