The Whole Ten Yards Reviews

This appalling mess of a movie just isn't funny.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 29, 2010

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

| Jan 8, 2007

The script is so bland it barely musters a whole ten laughs.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

98 minutes of mirth-free entertainment.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 22, 2004

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.'

... an utter disaster.

Full Review | Apr 12, 2004

It's hard to say what the filmmakers' intent is. The characters all feel like concoctions, like synthetic movie people forged in a crucible of Red Bull during late-night meetings at the studio compound.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 11, 2004

Will go anywhere for a gag.

Full Review | Apr 9, 2004

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

Full Review | Apr 9, 2004

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 9, 2004

The Whole Nine Yards was only about a yard short of being a worthwhile comedy back in 2000, but its sequel, The Whole Ten Yards, doesn't even manage to get onto the playing field.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 9, 2004

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

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 9, 2004

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

A time waster.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 9, 2004

A mostly funny film with occasional dead spots that does best letting the caricatures say exactly what you'd thought they'd say in next week's episode.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2004

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

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 9, 2004

The Whole Ten Yards is not as desperate, unfunny, and nonsensical as its title. It's worse.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 9, 2004

If The Whole Nine Yards was a by-product of the hit man genre of dark comedies launched by Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Ten Yards is just a copy of a copy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 9, 2004

A dumb, pointless sequel.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4 | Apr 9, 2004

Nowhere amidst all the frantic clutter do we find anything resembling the sweet, nutty playing that elevated The Whole Nine Yards.
