'Yes Man' stars Jim Carrey as Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere-the operative word being "no"-until he signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say yes to everything...and anything. Unleashing the power of "YES" begins to transform Carl's life in amazing and unexpected ways, getting him promoted at work and opening the door to a new romance. But his willingness to embrace every opportunity might just become too much of a good thing.

Four Christmases (2008)
A crafty couple run the Christmas Day gauntlet by racing to visit their divorced parents' four separate households in this Vince Vaughn/Reece Witherspoon comedy that proves the holidays are no time for relaxing. Brad (Vaughn) and Kate (Witherspoon) have made something of an art form out of avoiding their families during the holidays, but this year their foolproof plan is about go bust - big time. Stuck at the city airport after all departing flights are cancelled, the couple is embarrassed to see their ruse exposed to the world by an overzealous television reporter. Now, Brad and Kate are left with precious little choice other than to swallow their pride and suffer the rounds. Along the way, they perform in a church nativity play at the behest of Kate's mother (Mary Steenburgen)'s pushy Pastor Phil (Dwight Yoakam), contend with Brad's gruff father Howard (Robert Duvall) and bullying brothers Dallas (Jon Favreau) and Denver (Tim McGraw) - a pair of trained UFC fighters - and pay a visit to Brad's spacey, New Age mother Paula (Sissy Spacek), who recently made waves in the family circle by marrying her son's childhood friend.
