Yes Man



Have you ever daydreamed about what it would be like to jump at every chance you get? A say-yes-to-everything policy might be a little impractical for the average citizen to enact in the midst of their daily grind, which is probably what prompted Hollywood to conjure up the imagined results for us. Jim Carrey started acting out our unreasonable "what if's" back in 1997 with Liar Liar and he continues to humanize outlandish scenarios 13 years later. Working as a perfect counter-balance for zany physicality, Zooey Deschanel charms the audience with her nearly implausible serenity. Together these two characters navigate a world very much like our own where it seems just a little bit easier to say "yes".


This was Bree's pick! No Harry Connick Junior! No dance teams! No one got served! I was mildly disappointed, but excited to miss out on the backlash that I had imagined would ensue. We brought a cake by, and had the usual popcorn. Brandon and Bree order their popcorn online and it all seems very gourmet. Perhaps he will comment on this post, providing a link to this veritable popcorn emporium.
