Yes Man (2008)
Carl, a bank loan officer, has become withdrawn since his divorce from his former wife Stephanie. He has an increasingly negative outlook on his life and routinely ignores his friends Peter and Rooney. An old colleague, Nick, suggests that he goes to a motivational “Yes!” seminar with him, which encourages its attendants to seize the opportunity to say “Yes!”. Carl attends and meets inspirational guru Terrence. Terrence publicly forces a reluctant Carl to promise to answer “Yes!” to every opportunity, request, or invitation that presents itself.
Later, Carl says yes to a homeless man’s request and is stranded out-of-gas and with no battery on his cell phone in Elysian Park. Disillusioned, he hikes a lot to find out a gas station where he meets Allison, an unorthodox young woman. She gives him a ride back to his car on her scooter and kisses him before leaving. After this positive experience, Carl feels more optimistic about saying yes. However, he refuses oral sex from his elderly neighbor Tillie, and then falls down the stairs and is nearly attacked by a dog. Seeing the repercussions of saying no, he goes back to Tillie and to his surprise enjoys the moment.
