It's a humorous and wise movie: Karl, who has an unhappy marriage, a sullen life, and a mediocre job, seems to be separated from the whole world by a wall. This is him, in fact, he is a slave of life, and there is no way to be himself.

And when he was so bored and went to listen to a "Yes Man" motivational lecture, he was incited to open his heart and say "yes" in everything. So Carl did it, he opened his heart, never refused other people's requests, whether he was sincere or not, he said "yes", after all, he helped a lot of people. Everything seems to be going smoothly for Carl, and he has won friendship and love as he rises step by step.

With the development of the story, it is Carl, who is always "yes", trying to help others, but he does not find that he is gradually returning to the original starting point: he is almost living for others, unable to express his inner feelings, even himself The true love is about to be lost. Finally, under the guidance of the lecturer, he finally figured out the real use of "yes", that is, to say "yes" according to his own heart, to recognize the real self, to feel life, and to actively help others. Finally found his own love and a colorful life.

Everyone should be themselves, shouldn't they?
