Box Office: Audiences Still Lovin' Marley
After breaking Christmastime records last week, audiences once again put the adorably naughty pup in the top spot at the box office over the weekend. Marley & Me, starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, earned an estimated $24 million "for a cume of $106.5 million in only 11 days."
In second place came Adam Sandler's Bedtime Stories followed by The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in third, Valkyrie in fourth and Yes Man in fifth.

Box Office: Audiences Say Yes. . . Man
It seems the dismal weather plaguing parts of the nation proved detrimental to box office earnings this weekend. Of the less-than-robust numbers, however, the Jim Carrey-Zooey Deschanel comedy Yes Man ended up taking the most in ticket sales with a little over $18 million. Will Smith's Seven Pounds did almost as well, though still worse than expected with $16 million.
Yes Man: Genuinely Feel-Good Fare
It may be a silly and simplistic movie, but Yes Man is also one of the few movies this year that left me grinning from ear to ear at the end. From the premise we know that it's about the power of positive thinking and being open to things and changing one's life for the better, etc. etc.
Jim, Jenny and Zooey Say Yes to LA
Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy channeled some old school glamour for the LA premiere of Yes Man last night. After Jim's joking failed proposal on Ellen yesterday, the two looked perfectly happy together on the red carpet. Jim's costar Zooey Deschanel looked simply gorgeous in her wintery silver dress but she doesn't only act in the movie, but she provides her lovely voice too.
Listen Up: Zooey Deschanel's "Yes Man"
Any excuse to listen to Zooey Deschanel's sweet, dreamy voice sounds good to me, so I'm psyched to hear the soundtrack songs for Jim Carrey's (and Zooey's!) next comedy Yes Man that feature Deschanel and some seriously awesome synthesizing (incidentally, much of the rest of the soundtrack is by another great artist: Eels). The lyrics are a little ridiculous but the song is so much fun I don't really care. It actually makes me want to jog, and trust me — that is no small feat.
