Jim Carrey, what the heck?

I just saw a preview for his new movie: Yes Man. In this movie, he plays a man who always says no, but for 24 hours will do nothing but say yes.

If it sounds familiar, its because he already made this movie. If you replace "says no" with "lies" and "say yes" with "be honest", then you have his hit movie Liar Liar. That would've been all right, except the concept was originally an episode of I Love Lucy.

So my question is, at what point does it stop becoming plagiarism and start becoming an oral tradition?
