Well, this is certainly a much more “welcoming” than the last poster for a Jim Carrey movie.

The poster for Yes Man is very breezy, light and bright. It also seems to have some of the visual elements that you might find in a motivational poster or self-help book cover, which fits with the story of a man who decides to say yes to everything for one year. It obviously exaggerates some of those elements for humor, but what I like about the poster is that it’s not too over the top. If it wasn’t for Carrey’s silly grin you almost could believe it’s a serious attempt at making you feel better about life.

Almost.

The end result is not only funny, but actually still a little motivational. And that makes the movie seem like a very cheerful light experience. Just the kind of thing that millions of people want.
