The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

Yes Man rarely rises to genuine hilarity. It takes no risks, finds no inspiration and settles, like its hero, into a dull, noncommittal middle ground. Should you see this movie? Maybe. Whatever. I don't care.Read the full review

Variety | Brian LowryAdd Critic to Favorites

Genial but slim, picture is certainly a light-hearted alternative to weighty year-end awards bait, but the conceit isn't realized fully enough.Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

Yes, yes, it's Liar Liar 2.Read the full review

Washington Post | Dan ZakAdd Critic to Favorites

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Undemanding, light, and enjoyable.Read the full review

Wall Street Journal | Joe MorgensternAdd Critic to Favorites

Enjoyable enough for what it is, a clever idea developed by fits and starts.Read the full review

Carrey's most satisfying live-action effort since "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

The comedy, to the extent there is any, consists mainly of Carrey's verbal asides and strained reactions to people. The script gives him very little to work with.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

This is basically a nerd-loosening-his-tie romantic comedy done in the manic-compulsive mode of "Liar Liar."Read the full review
