Synopsis: Retired hit man Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (BRUCE WILLIS) is enjoying the quiet life in a beachfront bungalow in Mexico. Thanks to falsified dental records supplied by onetime neighbor and friend... Retired hit man Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (BRUCE WILLIS) is enjoying the quiet life in a beachfront bungalow in Mexico. Thanks to falsified dental records supplied by onetime neighbor and friend Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky, D.D.S. (MATTHEW PERRY) at the end of The Whole Nine Yards, Jimmy double-crossed the Gogolak gang and escaped the Feds by faking his own death. Now, secure in his Baja hideaway, Jimmy has traded in his shotgun for a dust buster and is learning to channel his natural intensity into more domestic pursuits like cleaning, decorating and perfecting his culinary skills while working through some of the personal issues that led him to a life of crime. Meanwhile, his wife Jill (AMANDA PEET), an idealistic wannabe assassin who has yet to pull off a clean hit, dreams of the good old days when the only thing her wild man Jimmy cared about wiping up was evidence. Suddenly, an uninvited guest shows up on the Tudeskis' doorstep. It's Oz, breathless and desperate, begging them to help rescue his wife, Cynthia (NATASHA HENSTRIDGE), who has been kidnapped by the Gogolaks. Jimmy couldn't be less interested. It's not his job anymore. But before he can toss Oz out on his ear, more gate-crashers arrive. Newly paroled mob boss Lazlo Gogolak (KEVIN POLLAK) and his goons have followed the naïve dentist down from L.A. and right into Jimmy's front yard. All that crazy old Lazlo has been thinking about in jail is how he's going to get even with Jimmy for knocking off his favorite son, Yanni, and how he's going to fix that conniving 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 save Cynthia, teach Lazlo a lesson and keep one step ahead of the mounting mayhem in this sequel to the 2000 hit comedy The Whole Nine Yards.

Unfunny, badly acted, and made solely for the purposes of big paychecks this film is just utterly embarrassing and nonsensical. This is mindless drivel, without being able to call itself a guilty pleasure.

Proof that most sequels should be avoided, "The Whole Ten Yards" vaporizes the humor of its superior 1999 precursor.

Mostly overacted and overblown, the script tries to make 'outlandish' into outrageous but hardly ever manages it. Missing is the element of some discernible sense of reality that is essential to black comedy.

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

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

While most sequels have nowhere to go, this sequel has nowhere it wants to go, and while most movie failures are unoriginal, this mess is simply uninspired.

Através de uma edição ligeira, procura nos convencer de que algo engraçado está acontecendo e que há uma dinâmica autêntica entre seus personagens. Não há e não está.

Utterly pointless sequel that fails to generate even a single laugh.

Nowhere near as good as the first film, and that one wasn't too brilliant either.

A lazy, dumb, irrelevant sequel to 2000's "The Whole Nine Yards." It gathers together most of its predecessor's cast and puts out a contract on their careers.

Because the cast is having so much fun, it’s hard to blame them when the film becomes almost persistently unfunny.

Disoriented by characters always shooting and yelling at him, Chandler spends the film tripping over furniture and slamming into doors.

The Whole Ten Yards is so unspeakably awful that I swear I felt precious brain cells melting away as my eyes took in the horror.
