Watch Jim Carrey bungee jump, speak Korean, find a Persian wife online, go skeet shooting, sing and play guitar, make out with an old woman, get into a drunken brawl, go take up extreme downhill skating, dress up as Harry Potter, ride a motorbike in just a hospital gown, and get up to his general rubber-faced tomfoolery.

But at least he never obsesses over a demonically-possessed dog, suffers from the same weird dream night after night or fixates on a number.

Yes, after the disaster that was 'The Number 23', Carrey returns to what he does best: all-out comedy. Certainly, as the battered-by-life Carl Allen, he gets the chance to brush off the emotionally-fragile introspective side he showcased so successfully in 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'.

Carrey is obviously having a blast again but 'The Break-Up' director Peyton Reed somehow manages to prevent his star from running away with what is essentially a conventional romantic comedy — albeit one with plenty of offbeat touches. Most of these are provided by the ever-reliable Zooey Deschanel, Hollywood's go-to-girl for sweet kookiness, who easily holds her own as the free-spirited Allison, teacher of jogging-photography and singer in a band called Munchausen by Proxy (yes, they're "experimental").

Their relationship — and the film itself — goes through all the familiar motions but with Carrey and Deschanel providing what counts — laughs — it's one to say "yes" to.
