Carrey returned to live-action comedy, starring opposite Zooey Deschanel and Bradley Cooper in "Yes Man" (also 2008). Carrey played a man who signs up for a self-help program that teaches him to say yes to everything. Despite reviews being mixed, Rene Rodriquez of "The Miami Herald" stated, ""Yes Man" is fine as far as Jim Carrey comedies go, but it's even better as a love story that just happens to make you laugh." The film had a decent performance at the box office, earning $225 million worldwide.
