Amanda Peet, Bruce Willis, Carl Ciarfalio

Bruce Willis turns on the charm in The Whole Ten Yards, the sequel to the surprisingly popular The Whole Nine Yards. Willis returns as Jimmy "the Tulip," a former professional hitman, no...( read more  read more... )w living in Mexico with his bride Jill (Amanda Peet, Igby Goes Down), while his former neighbor Oz (Matthew Perry) lives happily with Jimmy's ex-wife Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge, Species). When mobster Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak, The Usual Suspects) kidnaps Cynthia to get revenge on Jimmy, Oz has to seek out Jimmy for help--only to eventually discover that there's some incomprehensible secret plan at work. The Whole Ten Yards was created purely because the previous movie made money; the sequel makes not an iota of sense. Willis coasts by on raw charisma, everyone else flounders (Henstridge seems completely bored). Fans of the first movie, however, may enjoy revisiting these antic characters. --Bret Fetzer

    Tries to be as twisty as first. Isn't.
  • November 7, 2008
    This movie is the definition of unfunny.

    I died a little bit inside after 10 seconds of crap.

    Who the hell writes this shit?!

    The gang get together again. Not as interesting as first one but still quite funny. Good cast.

    Randomly watched it on Tv and loved it

    pretty weak sequel, holds nothing to the first..avoid at all costs
  • November 4, 2009
    A hitman who wants to retire, his wife who is incredibly eager to kill, an overparanoid dentist, and a mobster with a vengeance(and a wierd way of phrasing things) all come together in this improvement over the original. I thought this was a lot more suitable for a bleak comedy. ...( read more)The ending kind of spoiled this movie from getting three and a half stars; with its two twists that a blind man could see coming.

    Humor! Bruce Willis och Matthew Perrys första scener tillsammans är ju väldigt priceless!
  • October 21, 2009
    yeah its pretty funny and even quirkier than the first. Not as good as the first but still a good comedy. The bar scene is hillarious.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This is one of those movies you look at quizzically: What did they think they were doing? full review

April 8, 2004
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Where the first pic breezed along with gags and gunplay, this forced follow-up is artificial to the hilt -- fueled on a kind of trying-too-hard hilarity that makes even good actors look bad. full review
