John & Becky's Movie Review of The Comedy - "The Whole Ten Yards" Becky and I went to see "The Whole Ten Yards" on Friday night. "The Whole Ten Yards" website at http://thewholetenyards.warnerbros.com/ describes the story as follows:

The Story
Retired hitman Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (BRUCE WILLIS) is living the quiet life in a beachfront bungalow in Mexico, miles away from his former life.

Thanks to falsified dental records supplied by onetime neighbor and friend Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky, D.D.S. (MATTHEW PERRY), Jimmy faked his own death and has taken up a new line of work befitting his newfound domestic tranquility: cleaning the house and perfecting his culinary skills with his wife Jill (AMANDA PEET), a purported novice assassin who has yet to pull off a clean hit.
>
Suddenly, an uninvited and most unwelcome connection to their past shows up on the Tudeskis' doorstep. It's Oz, breathless and desperate, begging them to help rescue his wife, Cynthia (NATASHA HENSTRIDGE), from the Hungarian mob.

Jimmy couldn't be less interested. It's not his problem anymore. But before he can toss Oz out on his ear, more unexpected visitors show up. Newly paroled mob boss Lazlo Gogolak (KEVIN POLLAK) and his dim-bulb goons have followed the naïve dentist down from L.A. and right into Jimmy's Baja hideaway. All that Lazlo has been thinking about in jail is how he's going to get even with Jimmy for knocking off his favorite son, and how's he's going to fix Oz for helping him get away with it.

Now Jimmy, Oz and Jill will have to go the whole nine yards — and then some — to manage the mounting Mafioso mayhem, in this sequel to the 2000 hit comedy The Whole Nine Yards.

The Review
This movie brings back the cast of "The Whole Nine Yards" and continues the story with mob boss Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak) out to get Jimmy (Bruce Willis). It's more corny than the first movie, but there are some good laughs to keep you entertained. Becky liked it better than I did, but I think she viewed it as total slapstick comedy.

I found it too predictable and unbelievable; and I found it hard to take any of the characters seriously. By the time the movie was over, I was glad; each yard being more difficult than the last. For example, at one point Matthew Perry gives a patient so much laughing gas that he puts the guy into cardiac arrest and tells his receptionist to call 911 as he leaves to meet his wife for lunch.

Many people in the theater liked it, and Becky found it entertaining. I was probably expecting too much from the cast. It reminded me of seeing the sequel to "Analyze This", which was "Analyze That". As you may recall, it seemed like Robert Deniro and Billy Crystal were just kind of there for that movie and were not very passionate about doing it. I had the same impression here. Anyway, that's our take on "The Whole Ten Yards". Becky liked it and I could have waited for the rental.

Becky's Rating: *** Worth The Trip
John's Rating: ** Rental
