Yes Man or Marley & Me? - Blu-ray Forum

OrlandoEastwood · 02-13-2009, 10:48 AM

All right, here at the University of Hawaii, they have Free Movie Night every Wednesday at the dollar theater. Bolt, Twilight, Yes Man, and Marley & Me is playing at the dollar theater. I took my sister to see Bolt 3-D so not watching it again. No interest in Twilight and that leaves out the other two. So which one should I go watch?

I haven't seen either, but the fact that Jim Carrey is in "Yes Man" makes me nervous about that movie. I haven't much cared for his comedies (and still feel a bit angry I wasted money to see Ace Ventura 2). I'd go with "Marley & Me" personally.

Haven't seen either but I heard everyone crys after watching marley and me. Jim carey is hit or miss now so who knows with that movie it looks funny.

Dont expect either of the movies to actually be...funny.

BirdManJr · 02-13-2009, 12:03 PM

go see yes man...jim carrey is back to himself in this one

BIGLAD · 02-13-2009, 12:20 PM

Yes Man.

She is worth the price of admission alone!

LOL, I don't even pay. It's the University's dollar.

Two such different movies. Marley & Me is great if you have a dog and love dogs, but a sad ending. Yes Man was not that bad. Funny at parts, one of Carey's better comedies.

To me I say Marley & Me, but i am biased. John Grogan the author of Marley & Me, lives about 10 minutes from me.

OrlandoEastwood · 02-13-2009, 12:52 PM

I saw on several websites that vandals went berzerk on Marley and Me billboards and bus stop posters and sprayed

[Show spoiler]

and I was like "hahahaha!"

Tsmith13 · 02-13-2009, 01:08 PM

Yes Man would be my choice.

dvd_mazter · 02-13-2009, 01:38 PM

Yes Man. Carrey is back in fine form after a few misses.

I really liked and it is pretty funny

PH3AR · 02-13-2009, 06:13 PM

Marley & Me just because....

Yes Man looks like a rip-off of another Jim Carrey movie Lair Lair where he couldn't lie

dpomp · 02-13-2009, 06:17 PM

you should see 1 this week and the other next week. you said they do this every week right

that's what i'd do.

OrlandoEastwood · 02-13-2009, 06:30 PM

It's only on Wednesday nights. I doubt both might be playing next week. It'll be the second week for both films. Movies don't last long at this dollar theater since there's only 4 screens. Like in the past weeks they had Changeling, Frost/Nixon, and Punisher: War Zone and they only played for one week. Like this week they took off Punisher: War Zone and Bride Wars.

blu-mike · 02-13-2009, 07:50 PM

Stay away from marley and me!!!! go see yes man

Typical ending for a movie about a dog and it's owner. Not to mention everyone says it's sad. LOL....guess it shouldn't be to sad if you know how it ends.

I heard that kids were screaming and crying in the theaters. I laughed at first but then felt bad because they didnt know that's how it would turn out.

This place is HELL!!! This is what I put up with, horrible roommate; horrible surroundings; horrible regae music; drugs; racism; everything else you could possibly imagine. The racism here is a serious issue, on all islands. It is not safe to go out at night, even in this small, s**thole town. I had a gun aimed at my head back in November back when I went out at midnight to pick up a DVD copy of Tropic Thunder. You know why I had a gun pointed at my head? Because I was white! It ain't cool.

Going to the movies every Wednesday night is my home away from home because that is what me and my parents would do every weekend when I was little and then it was me and my dad.
