Jim Carrey appears in comedy again! · 2008-12-18 15:42
Comedian Jim Carrey is back to get a laugh ??“ in his new movie "Yes Man" that means bungee jumping while chatting on a cell phone, and mounting a motorbike in a hospital gown.
He seems a world away from last year, when instead of a comedy the actor starred in dark thriller "The Number 23," a numerology-inspired film most critics said did not add up.
In his new film, which opens on Friday, Carrey is back to his brand of broad comedy that made audiences roar in films such as "Liar Liar" and "Bruce Almighty," which raked in more than $180 million and $240 million, respectively, at U.S. and Canadian box offices. "Number 23" did about $35 million.
Carrey's decision fits with the theme of "Yes Man," in which he plays a loan officer who turns his life upside down by adopting a new philosophy and saying "yes" to everything, from learning Korean to piloting a plane, Reuters reports.
