Zooey Deschanel, Eels Affirm Yes Man Soundtrack

Zooey Deschanel, Eels Affirm <i>Yes Man</i> Soundtrack

Yes Man is a new Jim Carrey movie any observant person (I am hardly the first) will tell you looks a lot like another Jim Carrey movie from a few years ago. It hits theaters December 19.

Carrey's co-star in the film, She & Him's Zooey Deschanel, portrays the leader of Munchausen by Proxy, a sorta-fictional band made up of Deschanel and San Francisco power trio Von Iva. We say sorta-fictional because the very real soundtrack for Yes Man features four totally legit tunes from Munchausen by Proxy.

In addition, the soundtrack features eight cuts from Eels, including a brand new one entitled, appropriately enough, "Man Up". The soundtrack is released December 9 from Lakeshore Records.

Here are a couple photos of Zooey and Von Iva as Munchausen by Proxy in the movie:
