^ This is the cover of the 2008 movie, "Yes Man," starring the one and only, Jim Carrey, and the beautiful, Zoeey Deschanel. The plot of the movie is that Carrey, the protagonist, challenges himself to say, "yes," to very opportunity for a whole year. He then discovers the magical of power of the "yes" word— lands a job, finds a girlfriend (Deschanel), etc. As the movie progresses, it soon becomes apparent the magic was all an illusion because consequences follow when every opportunity is taken.
