In Yes Man, Jim Carrey plays an introverted shut in that will make up any excuse so as not to be excised from his sofa, watching movies alone. An old buddy coerces him to attend a seminar where he make a covenant with himself to answer "yes" whenever the opportunity presents itself. Get it? Instead of having to tell the truth, he has to say yes! It's the same, but different!
It's not a wonderful movie, but it's by no means horrible. As a one time viewing, it's actually quite enjoyable. The predictable storyline and shenanigans ensue for your amusement. This movie does have a couple of noteworthy pluses, such as Rhys Darby (Murray from Flight of the Conchords who basically plays the same type of character), Harry Potter themed parties, and a small subplot involving the mockery of male nurses.
