Common Sense Says
Carrey comedy breaks no new ground but draws ample laughs.Appropriate For?
Age Appropriate Some Iffy Stuff Not Age Appropriate13
What's the Story?
Sandbagged by a divorce, Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) is a virtual recluse, content to shuttle between his Los Angeles apartment and the bank where he works as a loan officer. If he does venture out, it's to the video store to pick up the DVDs he prefers to watch alone or to the coffee shop, where he won't even take a flier from the guy handing them out front. "No" is his favorite word: He screens his calls, dodges his friends, and has pretty much dropped out of life. But a chance encounter brings him to a seminar run by self-help guru Terrence Bundley (Terrence Stamp) whose rallying cry to his followers is to literally say "yes" to everything. And that Carl does, for better or worse.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this comedy will likely appeal to young Jim Carrey fans excited to see him back on familiar (i.e. non-dramatic) turf. Although it's not as crude as the "gross out" comedies that have been so popular recently, there is some iffy stuff -- including a scene in which an elderly woman offers to perform oral sex on the main character (his facial expressions are shown) and another in which his bare butt is visible. There's also plenty of swearing -- everything from "ass" to "f--k" -- and a lot of product placement. Families can talk about why kids want to see this movie -- is it because of the story or because Jim Carrey is in it? What makes something a "Jim Carrey" comedy? Would you like his moviesas much if a different actor starred in them? Do you like his dramaticmovies? Why or why not? Discuss the movie's message. Why is Carl the way heis in the beginning? What does he learn? Is the lesson applicable inreal life, or just fodder for a Hollywood blockbuster?
