The Whole Ten Yards Reviews
Horrible disappointing movie! The actors should be ashamed of themselves for even being in the movie. How do such horrible movies get made?
Yikes this follow up is a train wreck.
2.2 watchable but not good
A distant viewing since watching its predecessor to settle an agreement that it sort-of recycles then ridicules, instead becoming an hilarious showcase for Willis, Peet and mainly Perry who still was channeling Chandler Bing at the time rather signifying differently himself. Like before, the main performances thwart the flaws and turned them into jokes as a redemptive factor; even though, as it's hard to imagine without its best reliance, this is from a biased spectatorship from ever enjoying a certain timeless sitcom. (B)
This PG-13 sequel contains less harsh material than the original R-rated movie because it is funnier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome sequel. Laughed all the way through. I wish they'd make an 11 yards. Probably only should get a 4 but the scored it's getting are a travesty.
My wife and I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes of this movie. The black jigaboo doll on the baby mobile was very disturbing. Having seen this image it now tarnishes the fun memory of the first movie. I know that I will not be finishing this movie.
The perfect movie to demonstrate how Rotten Tomatoes sometimes fails. Would I recommend this movie? Nah. But it was funny enough and was actually a pretty decent sequel for having lost the director from the first. It's not great, but does it deserve 4%? No way. It's like Analyze That, it's not a bad movie, and if you really liked the first it's pretty entertaining. Better than 4%
You might be shooting blanks... A Hungarian mob boss recently released from prison is targeted by Oz's ex-hit boss wife who gets kidnapped in the process. His wife seems to be having a flame of some sorts with her ex-husband, Jimmy the Tulip, who can't get it up for his current wife, his former hit-girl in training. Jimmy springs out of retirement to save his ex-wife and gets his old friends together to "help" him... "Don't correct me...as a rule..." Howard Deutch, director of Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, The Great Outdoors, Article 99, The Replacements, Grumpier Old Men, The Odd Couple II, and My Best Friend's Girl, delivers The Whole Ten Yards. The storyline for this picture is below average and reminded me of Be Cool. The comedic content is also below par and the acting is just alright. The cast includes Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, Kevin Pollack, and Natasha Henstridge. "A homicidal maniac acting totally crazy? What a surprise..." I recently came across this on Netflix and was shocked I had never seen it or wrote a review on this before. Well, I wasn't missing much. The content, comedic material, and acting are all below par. I didn't love the first picture...and this one was worse. I recommend skipping this. "Shit happens, alright?" "Oh yeah, watch this shit happen..." Grade: C-
its slapstick comedy. I don't know everyone else was looking for. this movie is a great 90 minute break from reality. tons of laughs after you've seen the original. you have to listen closely for all of kevin Pollack's hysterical one liners.
Good follow up to the first, not sure why the bad reviews?.. Good movie, highly recommend if you liked the first.
The cast, straining with all their might for laughs, seem lost as to why they're there or why the material is funny.
A huge step back from is predecessor. The laughs and jokes were extremely forced and the plot was dumb. The story was terrible and they tried way to hard to create something fresh and new. While the original had some fresh comedy and a cool grittiness about it, this one is way to forced and it's just bad.
