Hi, I'm Hervey and I'll be commenting. I'm really not looking forward to this, but I'm keeping an open mind

#yesyes2008

Hi, I'm Alan and I'll be commenting on this film. I am looking forward to this, but I'm also keeping an open mind. #yesyes2008

Good start, nice heavy jam in the pre-credit sequence, I'm in #yesyes2008

Jim Carrey already saying 'no' frequently. The setup is clear. #yesyes2008

A video store, browsing, casually picking up copies of "300", what a society we've lost #yesyes2008

A little Raconteurs "Old Enough" playing in the background. Legitimately my favorite song ever. #yesyes2008

A series of very stressful interactions at the bar. Not a fun bar scene. #yesyes2008

I'm more used to early Jim Carrey playing hopelessly romantic heroes, there's something genuinely sad and difficult-to-watch about him being sour and over 50, and not really human either #yesyes2008

Good Flight of the Conchords crossover. #yesyes2008

Yeah, Rhys Darby is a good screen presence; and now John Michael Higgins... all people I'd rather see in a central role #yesyes2008

This movie really leaves no room for subtlety. #yesyes2008

I'm starting to pick up some themes about "yes" and "no" #yesyes2008

Unclear whether these are actually "Saw" scenes or ersatz "Saw" recreations #yesyes2008

Really nice Twister shirt on Jim Carrey. #yesyes2008

Yeah, weirdly for being a sad sack in a bad situation, he's both relatively fashionable, and has a *really* stylish and nice apartment #yesyes2008

Jim Carrey has turned off "Saw" and turned on "300" before falling asleep; it is now morning, but the movie is still running? #yesyes2008

300 is an eternally long movie. #yesyes2008

I really with Hayden Christensen were in this movie too, but I don't think we're going to see him in it. #yesyes2008

John Michael Higgins is going *back* to the seminar that changed his life? Seems bad that one session was not enough #yesyes2008

This does not really seem to represent a human experience in any way, it's very glossy and I just don't recognize any feeling or mood in it #yesyes2008

We got Stamp #yesyes2008

You've clearly never been to a YES meeting. This is HYPE. #yesyes2008

Terrence Stamp is playing the part of "Terrence Bundley"

#yesyes2008

Carl is making a covenant. #CarlCovenant #yesyes2008

This is all working really well, but would have been iffy if there hadn't been one person in the audience who wasn't a returning yes-man #yesyes2008

Carl is realizing that saying 'yes' is not as easy as it may seem. #yesyes2008

Handy to have a gas can in the car. #yesyes2008

A late-era Jim Carrey movie involves yelling most of the lines #yesyes2008

Jim Carrey is realizing the value of saying 'yes'. #yesyes2008

Jim Carrey: 18 years older than Zooey Deschanel #yesyes2008

I think these jokes are starting to land pretty well. #yesyes2008

We're getting a good recap with the boys in the bar. #yesyes2008

This plot is a bit hard to follow, but I really respect all the effort they're making to make it easy to consume #yesyes2008

2008, the golden era of DDR. #yesyes2008

Bradley Cooper is 13 years younger than Jim Carrey, I find that implausibly large for a best-friend gap #yesyes2008

It's very clear that Jim Carrey is supposed to look a lot younger than he actually looks here. #yesyes2008

Jim Carrey's physical comedy skills are legendary, but they do sadly fall short of being able to convincingly portray a drunk person. #yesyes2008

It was more like someone taking a bunch of anesthetics or something #yesyes2008

Fionnula Flanagan, playing Tillie, is 19 years older than Jim Carrey #yesyes2008

Jim Carrey's physical comedy skills are legendary, but they do sadly fall short of being able to convincingly portray a person having sex. #yesyes2008

For as bad of a time it is, it *is* something that implies that doing more stuff is good; a more modern message is about not becoming overextended, conserving emotional energy #yesyes2008

Jim Carrey has ordered a Rolling Rock. Seems implausible if this movie is supposed to be based in LA. #yesyes2008

Everybody loves Rolling Rock

This band is really good #yeyes2008

The band is fantastic. #yesyes2008

I should note that I am currently wearing a shirt with giant lettering that says "YES" on it. #yesyes2008 #moviefashion #DanielBryan

This movie is like a mean parody of Jim Carrey #yesyes2008

Wow, Red Bull sure was a novel thing in 2008. Good work finding a tenuous reason for Jim Carrey to contort his face repeatedly. #yesyes2008

Jim Carrey's physical comedy skills are legendary, but they do sadly fall short of being able to convincingly portray a caffeinated person. #yesyes2008

This movie is going places, like a Harry Potter theme party. #yesyes2008

It's not a lot of work to keep track of things #yesyes2008

This movie makes me feel more distant from my fellow human beings #yesyes2008

Carl has affixed the official APPROVED stamp to the loan paperwork, so it is now irreversible. #yesyes2008

Wow, the 2006-2008 era, the age of when microloans were hot #yesyes2008

As Jim Carrey steps out of a window to improvise a song about talking a suicidal man down off a ledge, the movie reaches its nadir. #yesyes2008

Not pleasant #yesyes2008

It's just aimless at this point. Just kinda wandering around doing things. A fun time for all. #yesyes2008

Some nice TiVo UI. #yesyes2008

2008 was a magic era in which TiVo and SuperShuttle were novel and fresh, I enjoy reliving this #yesyes2008

It's L O V E. #yesyes2008

We're learning that the world is not ready to a man who says 'yes' to everything #yesyes2008

I thought the one Persian person in the movie was just a bad caricature, but it turns out she was the setup for a terrorist joke. Ugh. #yesyes2008

The movie makes the feds unlikeable caricatures themselves, so it tries to have it both ways #yesyes2008

Zooey's Audiovox phone very cool #yesyes2008

Taking a phone call while dangling from a bridge looks fun. #yesyes2008

Everything started to go wrong when he answered 'no' to the 'do you hate America?' question. #yesyes2008

Damn, Jim Carrey's character is really reaching the dark night of the soul #yesyes2008

Nice shirt on Norm. #yesshirt #moviefashion #yesyes2008

CG art gallery? Those photo prints don't look real. Something is off with the lighting. #yesyes2008

It's just like everything in this movie: garishly shot, cheaply designed, chintzy and light and fakey #yesyes2008

Carl broke the covenant #brokencovenant #noman #carlsaysno #yesyes2008

The ability to say 'no'. Powerful stuff. #yesyes2008 #nono2008

Carl has seemingly led to the death of Terrence #yesyes2008

Terrence is toast. #RIPTerrence #yesyes2008

Update: Terrence seems to be fine. #HelloTerrence #yesyes2008

Some sort of extremely zany antics are currently going on #yesyes2008

Everything's coming up Carl! #yesyes2008

What a cool movie (Yes Man) about a cool dude (Carl) in a cool city (Los Angeles). #yesyes2008

Not as cool as the coolest guy (Hayden Christensen) in *every* cool city, in the coolest movie (Jumper) #yesyes2008

Could you imagine seeing this in a theater? #yesyes2008

What a journey, I have learned that saying yes is important, but you also need to say no #yesyes2008

The ending credits do not fit with any of the rest of the movie's aesthetic. #yesyes2008

They're cool, I'm enjoying the music and the credit vibe; would have liked more of this, and less of ... everything else #yesyes2008

I would like to see the movie version of these credits. #yesyes2008

I'll say it right now: An Earful of Yes Man
