The Whole Ten Yards

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.

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

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

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

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
