Movies that feel likeYes Man (2008)

Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere, signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say yes to everything…and anything.

If you loved Yes Man, the closest films we have are Definitely, Maybe (2008), Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) and You've Got Mail (1998). All three share Yes Man's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Trainwreck (2015).
