Short description
Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere, signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say yes to everything…and anything.
What's left behind the scenes
- The lead actors, Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel, were born on the same day, January 17th.
- Jim Carrey specifically began studying the Korean language with teacher John Song for the role, in order to realistically portray a high level of proficiency in the language in the film.
- During the filming of the bar scene, Jim Carrey broke three ribs.
- Jim Carrey performed the jump from the bridge with a harness himself.
- The film is based on the biographical book by Danny Wallace, a British writer, producer, and journalist, who spent 6 months answering only "YES." The writer himself appeared in an episodic role in the "bachelorette party" scene.
- Jim Carrey declined a 'standard' fee for the film and agreed to a 'percentage' of the box office revenue.
- The ringtone on Karl's phone and the song playing while Karl rides his motorcycle is the Journey song – “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).”
- When Pete calls Karl on the phone and then comes to see him, Karl is watching the film “Saw” (2004).
- The fight scene near the bar takes place in the same location as the fight with the bullies in the film “Bruce Almighty” (2003).
- Jim Carrey performed the rope jump from the same bridge as the characters in the series “Scrubs” (2001-2010) in one of the episodes.
