  10/06/2010 (DVD) Its seriously not serious, the type of flick that "takes a piss" out of "taking a piss", seriously. Quite an intelligent style of comedy with awkward situations that add to the twists that keep it interesting and amusing. Although it's so predictable, its still fun to see what happens next and even though I may not watch this again, I did laugh so it's not a bad watch for my personal taste.

  Kind of cheesy, but highly entertaining.

  It feels like they didn?t really think this one through too much. It?s messy and un-entertaining. Matthew Perry is a great actor but he was still in ?Friends mode? here.

  Very funny mob comedy. Matthew Perry brings excellant humor to the role of Oz who is a dentist from Chicago who lives in Montreal with his wife Sophie (played by Rosanna Arquette), who would love to kill Oz. Then adding to the problem is Jimmy Tudeski (played by Bruce Willis), a mob hitman that just moved next door to him. Hilarious black comedy of a film great perfomances by the entire cast. Bruce Willis is such a bad-ass in the film, and Amanda Peet shows off some incredible acting chops as does Natasha Hensridge. Matthew Perry ROX, and always will. I heart MP!!!

  Oz: Damn it, Jimmy. What the hell did you have to go and move in next door to me? Jimmy: Oz, do you know what kind of soil they have in this back yard? I've been here two days and I've got little tomato plants... Oz: Oh my God! A very funny movie, with some very funny… More
  Oz: Damn it, Jimmy. What the hell did you have to go and move in next door to me? Jimmy: Oz, do you know what kind of soil they have in this back yard? I've been here two days and I've got little tomato plants... Oz: Oh my God! A very funny movie, with some very funny performances. Willis and Perry work well together, as well as the quirky natures of all the others. Its certainly the kind of film that induces giggling often. Perry plays Oz, a dentist, living a miserable life, married to a bitch, played by Rosanna Arquette, and he can't get out of it. Along comes Bruce Willis as a former hit man trying to move away from the mob after snitching. Through no real fault of his own, Oz gets caught up in a scheme involving hit men vs hit men, each trying to rub one another out and get their hands on a lot of money. Although the plot has some funny reveals, its not too important, what is funny is the dialog and reactions between these different characters. Willis for example has two modes, quiet: Jimmy: It's not important how many people I've killed. What's important is how I get along with the people who are still alive. and mean and raging: Jimmy: I'm gonna keep the coke and the fries but I'm gonna send this burger back. And if you put any mayonnaise on it, I'm gonna come over to your house, I'll chop your legs off, set fire to your house, and watch as you drag your bloody stumps out the door. While the raging is kept at a minimum, the quiet has so much more intensity to it, but is played mainly for laughs against the worrier that is Perry's character. Cynthia: Have you vomited recently? Oz: A minute ago. I was just gonna brush my teeth. Cynthia: I'll wait. The great supporting cast that includes Michael Clarke Duncan and Kevin Pollack also helps, as everyone seems to have been having a good time making this movie. The biggest surprise comes from Amanda Peet in her breakout role as a amateur assassin who immediately clings to Willis' character. Jill St. Claire: You don't like the Walther? Jimmy: I think you should go with what you're comfortable with. Jill St. Claire: It's what James Bond uses. Jimmy: Really? Jill St. Claire: Yeah. This is a movie that I watch with great joy a lot. Its entertaining and works well as a hitman comedy. Oz: He sa... he said you guys haven't even met. Sophie Oseransky: Who you going to believe? A contract killer or your wife? Oz: Do I have to answer that?

• Candy R

  
  Great cast. Matthew Perry is very funny in this black comedy about a dentist who's wife hires a hit man to kill him.

  I actually liked what I saw of this movie, haven't seen it all, but from what I saw, I really enjoyed it.

• Dean M

  
  Very funny with Matthew Perry who recognises his new neighbour, Bruce Willis, is a hitman. Perry has his best comedy screen role in this film.

• danny d

  
  very clever and funny, just stay away from the second one

• Jason S

  
  I though it was pretty funny. But it was forgettable.

• Leigh R

  
  Funny, but not great.

• Dannielle A

  
  It's a screwball comedy that's really funny and clever but just silly in some parts with a very long nude scene by Amanda Peet. I don't care for nudity but the rest of the move was okay.

  The Whole Nine Yards has Matthew Perry as a goofy dentist who discovers his new neighbor (Bruce Willis) is a former mobster gone straight. The movie abounds with black humor based on contract killing and Bruce Willis is great as Jimmy the Tulip. Rosanna Arquette is Perry's bitchy French Canadian wife who wants Jimmy to do a hit for her. To complicate matters Perry ends up falling in love with the beautiful, estranged wife of Willis (Natasha Henstridge) and his demented office assistant (Amanda Peet) finally gets her wish of becoming a mobster comes true. Bruce Willis has that stern look that chills everybody he comes in contact with in the movie. I thought he and Matthew Perry worked great together. This movie had everything comedy, romance, suspense and gangsters.

• Jason S

  
  Top cast, great banter and hugely funny premise sets this movie in motion. Its paid off well in the end and its a great ride all the way.

• Dimitris S

  
  I tried to commit suicide but I was a foolish teenager back then. Foolish enough to watch 10 minutes from the sequel as well, why oh why? Oh yes, slapstick stupidity, I became another victim of comedic travesty.
