This is a movie about a down-trodden wretch who agrees to forego saying "no" to anything. He's a loans officer, so this is meant to result in wacky hijinks. But the tone is way off in parts, which some characters being distractingly crass and unpleasant and others being too sweet. I'm not sure what the movie was trying to say, but with the female lead being at least a decade too young for the male lead, and the detracting presence of the nasty supporting characters, I found the movie more off-putting than engaging.
Not recommended.
