It COULD have been interesting, I wish it was, but oh my life was it boring and predictable.

See, I really don't like JC, he's too... well... JC. Haha. The only films I like him in are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Truman Show and Bruce Almighty.

Aww I'm sorry to hear that.

The movie "Yes Man" was quite entertaining, and it's a rare thing when a movie is better than the book it was based on. Though from what you're saying, the movie filled in a few plotholes and made things a bit simpler and straightforward.

Just avoid the book is all i'm saying haha.

I passed on the movie, and I'll pass on the book. The entire premise just irritates me. Anytime I say yes to something I get stuffed dumped on me and left with other people's work.

I've just recently learned to say 'no' and that's been more life affirming than 'yes'.

[girlingoldboots]

Yeah, in reality you have to find a happy medium. Unfortunately there's people that think that if you say 'yes' one you mean 'yes' every time an don't bother consulting you on this. I just found the concept of the film ludicrous and nothing more than a remake of "Liar, Liar"

I passed on the movie, but everyone says it's better than the book.

I say Yes to lots of things anyway, I'm a positive person, but he was saying yes to ridiculous things - like marketing scams.

I was determined to finish it, because I've never not finished a book.

It took a LONG time though.
