It's Jim Carrey in an Affirmative Trailer for YES MAN!

Beaks here...

I don't quite know what you're expecting from a formula Jim Carrey comedy at this late date. This trailer, I imagine. I can't say as I laughed a whole bunch whilst watching it, but... it sure is chipper!

This isn't to suggest there's anything explicitly wrong with this teaser for YES MAN. It's buoyant, it's got the reigning World Champion of "Cute" (Ms. Zooey Deschanel), and it's directed by the ever underappreciated Peyton Reed. I interviewed Reed ages ago for AICN (in support of the badly mishandled DOWN WITH LOVE), and I've been pulling for the guy ever since. He's a talented filmmaker and a very nice guy. Ain't too many of either in this town.

Because you care, I was on set the day Carrey did his bungee jump off the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena. It was, rather conveniently, the last day of shooting for the film.

YES MAN hits theaters December 19th.
