Hmm...about the movie, i think it's freaking funny with some stupid scenes and the silly acts of the main character Carl Allen (Jim Carrey). He is a divorced middle-aged man in Los Angeles who spends his days working as a junior loan approval officer in a bank, supervised by his immature manager Norman. Routinely declining social engagements so as to avoid meeting his ex-wife Stephanie with her new boyfriend, he has grown used to spending his evenings watching DVDs alone in his apartment while ignoring his friends' phone calls.
Shortly thereafter, Carl comes across Nick, who persuades him that he needs to start living again and takes Carl to a motivational seminar called "Yes!" where Carl is publicly accosted by inspirational guru Terrence Bundley. Browbeaten into making a covenant with himself, Carl promises to stop being a "No Man" and to answer "Yes!" to every opportunity, request, or invitation that presents itself thereafter.
Many things did happened after that. He got promoted in the bank where he works, he begins flying lessons, attends Korean language classes, and learns to play guitar. Carl's newfound talents also prove fruitful when it comes to saving a man from committing suicide. As their relationship blossoms, Carl and Allison meet at the airport for a spontaneous weekend away. Having decided to take the first plane out of town, they end up in Lincoln, Nebraska, where they explore the Frank H. Woods Telephone Museum, attend a college football game, and go skeet shooting.
Carl did attained by FBI, too but his lawyer, Pete explain that Carl is not a terrorist-his odd potpourri of habits, lessons, and decisions stem from his commitment to saying yes to everything. At this point, Allison finds out about Carl's motivational covenant, and begins to doubt whether his commitment to her was ever sincere.
In desperation, Carl decides to track down Terrence Bundley so that he can be released from the "Yes!" covenant. However, they collided to an oncoming vehicle. Carl awakes some hours later in the hospital, only for an irate Bundley to tell him that there really wasn't any covenant, and that he wasn't supposed to take saying yes so literally. The point of the covenant was only to open Carl's mind to other possibilities, not to take away his ability to say no when he needed to. Freed from this restraint, Carl borrows a Ducati motorcycle from a male nurse who bought it with one of Carl's loans. He rides the motorcycle to Allison's morning class, wearing nothing but a hospital gown. He apologizes, admits that he does not want to move in with her just yet, but tells her that he genuinely loves and wants her—and has been with her not just because he is compelled to say yes. The couple kiss passionately while the amateur photographers capture the moment.
