Yes Man takes its inspiration from a book written by UK author and comedian Danny Wallace and follows a similar story. It tells the tale of a mid-level loan clerk named Carl (Jim Carrey) who is persuaded to stop being a no man and start saying yes to everything after attending a motivational seminar. Saying yes gradually becomes easier and leads Carl to love in the form of Alison (Zoey Deschanel) and also promotion at work - it seems saying yes to all loan applications is a route to banking success. However Carl's spontaneous behaviour later attracts the interest of the FBI leading to his arrest and to Allison learning about his secret ex-wife. The film ends with Carl passionately fighting to regain the heart of his love and their reunion.
