Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry reprise their roles as a killer for hire and a dentist with a bad case of nerves in this sequel to the comedy hit The Whole Nine Yards. Former hitman Jimmy "The Tulip" T... read more read more...udeski (Bruce Willis) has retired from his life of crime and is living a quiet life of cooking and housekeeping in Mexico, despite the fact his wife, Jill (Amanda Peet), a would-be hired killer, still wants to keep her hand in the business. Tudeski has been able to convince the authorities he's dead thanks to dental records falsified by his former neighbor Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky (Matthew Perry), who lives in Los Angeles. But Oseransky discovers that not everyone is fooled by Tudeski's handiwork when his wife, Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge), is kidnapped by Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak) and his goons. Gogolak is a high-ranking member of the Hungarian mafia, and Tudeski previously murdered his son, so he's abducted Cynthia in order to get Oseransky to reveal the hired killer's current whereabouts. But Tudeski has come to like the quiet life, and isn't so sure he wants to face Gogolak and his crew for the sake of a jittery dentist who once did him a favor. Most of the principle cast of The Whole Nine Yards returned for this sequel, though director Howard Deutch stepped in to replace Jonathan Lynn, who was working on The Fighting Temptations when The Whole Ten Yards went into production. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    If you saw The Whole Nine Yards then you will probably love the The Whole Ten Yards..this movie is fun and fast paced and doesnt evn make any sense
    half the time but who cares its funny..but then i do have a funny silly sense of humor! Perry and Willis are a great combination a... read morend I think they add and change the story at will . In some ways, this chapter of their lives finds Jimmy and Oz switching some aspects of their original roles

    The gang get together again to get more money. Not as interesting as first movie but still quite funny. Good cast.

    I actually preferred the sequel to the original. It's not a great film but some of the spiel between the two leads is very funny. Kevin Pollak was quite funny too and points for being unpredictable!

    They missed each other. This time, their aim is better.

Every joke is stretched to the breaking point, and no one seems to be having any fun. Full Review

James Berardinelli

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Inconsistencies in tone are minor when compared to the confusion created by the editor's butchery. Full Review

Ben Kenigsberg

Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice

A heavily made up Kevin Pollak -- (over)playing a Hungarian gangster -- best sums up the mood: 'Thees ees reminding me of my favoreet soup opera.' Full Review

... an utter disaster. Full Review

Will go anywhere for a gag.

Leaden, laugh-free, lacking anything resembling a heart, mind or soul.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

So mirthless is this misbegotten enterprise, the sound of fake chucklers busting a gut would at least have given us valuable clues as to when we're supposed to laugh. Full Review

Carla Meyer

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle

Slap-happy and slapdash, Ten Yards lacks the clever twists and turns that made the original such fun. Full Review

Jay Boyar

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

If [The Whole Nine Yards] should not have worked, then the sequel definitely shouldn't work, either. But, once again, it kind of does. Full Review

Stephen Whitty

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

For all its loud gunplay and manic shouting, the movie never works up much of a head of steam. Full Review
