Like an innocuous kid version of “The Purge,” Miguel Arteta’s “Yes Day” imagines an annual 24-hour holiday of lawlessness. One parent, in particular, took to “Yes Day”: Jennifer Garner. When a guidance counsellor (Nat Faxon) suggests “Yes Day” as a remedy, Allison goes along, with a few stipulations. But “Yes Day“ slides too often into contrived, loudly scored montages of “fun” that don’t transfer to those of us watching. Of course, after a pandemic year that has ruled out so much for kids, “Yes Day” may be a welcome reprieve for them.
