Mattress salesman Brian Weathersby (Dano) finds his plan to adopt a Chinese baby augmented by the arrival of a young woman, Happy (Deschanel), who comes into his workplaces, falls asleep on one of the beds, and starts to affect his life upon waking up.

“Wait, why haven’t I heard about this movie?” If you are asking yourself this question, which I was about six weeks before its release, perhaps you’ll want to read this review from Gigantic’s premiere at the Toronto Film Festival last year. Still, despite the number of so-so reviews, most people indicate the story picks up speed in its second act, and the chemistry between Dano (who also produces here) and Deschanel is undeniable — though perhaps Zooey might want to pick up on the fact that she’s becoming known as “the It Girl who can save a bad film”? Not to be a jerk, but I think it’s a bit shady to release this film right before the better-received (500) Days of Summer.

Rated R for language, some sexual content and violence.

What happens when you agree with everyone and say “yes” to everything? Carl (Carrey) is about to find out when he chooses to become overly agreeable for an entire year. Carrey returns to form (almost literally if you consider the kinda sorta plot similarities with Liar, Liar). Combined with this year’s earlier Seuss success and what we’ve seen from his next romp, it looks like the $20 million man is ready to make us laugh again. But really we’re just focused on Zooey Deschanel.

Rated PG-13 for crude sexual humor, language and brief nudity.
