Rating: Summary: Never catches fire. Review: Another mafioso-with-a-heart-of-gold "comedy" a la "Analyze This." And it has the same problems. It tries to be cute instead of funny, though Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry have a lot more average-guy appeal than De Niro and Crystal. Perry's desire to marry a character he barely knows comes off even more contrived than it did in "Fools Rush In," and the hoped-for comedic mayhem never materializes. In fact, a typical episode of "I Love Lucy" generates more surprises and laughs.
Rating: Summary: The Last Boyscout running The Whole Nine Yards Review: With this make-up of actors how can you go wrong? Bruce Willis is superb as always, Matthew is at ease in his native land, and Michael is on his way. The perfect blend of action and comedy.
Rating: Summary: funny with a twist of suspense Review: Mathew Perry can really make slapstick comedy a hit with really good timing (Reminds me of "Friends"). He can make me laugh. What keeps it interesting is not knowing what the next outcome in the next scene will be.
Rating: Summary: Not to be missed Review: One of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. Brilliant script. Superb casting and tight, well directed performances.Ignore the critics! It's a "must see".
Rating: Summary: Funniest Movie by Bruce Willis Review: This movie is absolutely hilarious. Bruce Willis is the greatest actor ever and he gives this movie a great edge. Matthew Perry is definetly at his highest peak besides "Friends." His best movie to date. This movie has everything. Hilarious comedy and a few good action sequences. Definetly a movie to see if your looking for a good laugh and some unexpected twists and turns. Also a strong performance by Michael Clarke Duncan.
Rating: Summary: I guess the critics just don't like fun movies Review: If my group, and the crowd around me in the theater, was any indication, this movie which has been panned by the critics as "lightweight" was delightful and amusing, enjoyed by all. Several welcome full-belly-laugh scenes, and a satisfying ending.
Rating: Summary: Prepare to laugh hard! Review: This was the best comedy I've seen in a while: It's a story about a failing dentist (Matthew Perry) whose wife thinks he's better off dead than alive, and whose life will change when Jimmy "the tulip" Tedesci moves in next door. Bruce Willis as the "straight man" to Matthew Perry was an inspiration. Parents might want to be aware that there is full frontal nudity which is highlighted in one of the scenes that won't make sense to little ones -- but will want to see the movie themselves, anyway.
Rating: Summary: A Screwball comic gem Review: After hearing about Matthew Perry and Bruce Willis being in a movie together, I wonderd what kind of chemistry the "Friends" guy and the "Die Hard" guy could possibly have. My girlfriend lured me to see it, and I'm glad she did. I've never seen a movie about a hit man be so funny. Matthew Perry plays a bumbling dentist whose wife is trying to kill him. When Jimmy Tudeski (Bruce Willis) moves in next door, his life is turned upside down. Michael Clarke Duncan makes a radical change from his "Green Mile" role as Willis' sidekick. After watching Amanda Peet steal every scene she was in, I fell in love. Natasha Henstridge is the femme fatale who makes Perry's heart race. I couldn't figure out the R-rating until more that halfway through the movie. Get this if you want an unexpected laugh fest!
Rating: Summary: Misleading But Pleasing Review: "The Whole Nine Yards" was different than the trailers suggest, in my opinion. Sure it was about a hitman moving next door to a dentist, but the storyline is very different from what you may think. Bruce Willis, being my favorite actor, I naturally checked this one out. Matthew Perry does a great job playing an on-the-edge dentist in a dysfunctional marriage. Bruce Willis plays Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski, a former professional hitman who moves in next door to Matthew Perry. Matthew Perry almost instantly recognizes him and starts to get a little paranoid. Performances by Amanda Peet & Natasha Henstridge also make this a must-see. Amanda Peet gives a semi-funny performance as Matthew Perry's receptionist who is more than meets the eye. I liked the movie but I didn't find it incredibly funny, as it was marketed as a comedy. If you laugh easily as semi-funny jokes then you'll love this movie. If you just wanna see a great movie with an all-star cast, you'll love this movie.
Rating: Summary: Cleverly entertaining Review: While this may not be my absolutely favorite film with Bruce Willis ,it is still great. First off, all of the acting is significanly brilliant. But consider that a bonus, the story here is what really counts. I picked up this movie expecting it to be a half-decent, but still entertaining flick (considering I picked it up cheap). To tell the truth, I probably wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't rated R. However, it is an extremely mild movie. Consider it a PG-13 movie with an extensive nude scene. Either way, I was enthralled with how great the plot was. There were so many unexpected twists and genuinely hilarious dialogue, it made the movie extremely loveable. Take my word for it and get this movie, you won't be dissapointed.
