Is there any difference between the following two sentences?

1) I can't agree with you any more.
2) I can't agree with you more.

Thanks a lot!

Hey, ILQ. Yes, there is a big difference. I can't agree with you more means, TOTAL AGREEMENT while I can't agree with you any more, means "I used to agree with you, but no longer can I do so."

... and (2) usually expressed-- I think-- as 'I couldn't agree with you more'.
