In the 1997 film 'Liar Liar', Carrey played the role of a lawyer, who for 24-hours is stopped from lying, after his son's birthday wish for him to tell the truth is fulfilled. However, in 'Yes Man', instead of relying on magic, Carrey's new film revolves around a life-altering decision.

The Canadian-born comic, admits like his film character, he goes through bouts of social seclusion, denying himself fun in life. Carrey, 46, began his career with late comedian Rodney Dangerfield taking him under his wing, going on to emerge a star in the edgy, multi-racial U. S. television show 'In Living Color.'"

Since, he has gone on to become a major box office draw for film comedies, though his 2004 drama 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,' while earning him critical acclaim, made only $34-million at U. S. and Canadian box offices.

Carrey returning to broad comedy in 'Yes Man', says comedy is a tough job, and he should know having fractured three ribs shooting one of his many pratfalls.
