Very few of us actually have trouble saying Yes to the thousands of solicitations we receive every day. What we have trouble with is saying No. This movie sets up a straw man argument, designed to make the audience feel better about the fact that they say Yes as much as they already do. The first level of subtext - that we actually don’t say Yes enough - is ridiculous. The second level - that it’s ok to forgive ourselves for how often we say Yes, because it could be a lot worse - is far more palatable.
