We’ve talked a little about the meteoric fall of Jim Carrey a couple of times recently. For a time, this man turned everything he touched into pure gold. But recently, the dude can’t seem to find his stride at all. The Number 23 was a wretched movie. Fun with Dick and Jane was a let down, and he’s had a couple of cool sounding projects fall through (including that funny sounding one where he and Ben Stiller were going to play male sex slaves).
Now he’s just signed up for a new comedy that sounds a lot like Liar Liar in a few ways. Yahoo News gives us this:
Jim Carrey has said aye to “Yes Man,” a comedy he hopes to shoot in October. Based on a memoir by British author Danny Wallace, the story centers on a man who decides to change his life by saying yes to absolutely everything that comes his way. Unexpected comedic adventures ensue.
After reading that, can you see why I instantly thought of Liar Liar? At any rate, I really hope this one works out. I’m one of those guys who really enjoys Carrey when he’s on his game. But “Yes Man” doesn’t sound like the vehicle to do it to me.
