Summary: Great Movie!
Review: Since I started building up my DVD collection I would come to movies that I haven't seen so I would read the reviews from Leonard Maltin and Amazon.com essential video before I would take a chance on them. I've purchased and passed-on movies based on their reviews and I initially passed on The Whole Nine Yards after reading the review by Amazon.com essential video. Well, one day I was home and I decided to rent a DVD (which is something that I don't do often, I usually buy the movies) and finally rented this flick. Needless to say, the very first thing I did after watching the movie was order it. This movie is Hysterical! You know, I really wonder how these critics watch movies. I mean, it seems like they don't just watch the movie and base their review on the way they feel after the movie is over but they have to analyze and dissect it to a point that makes it hard for most flicks to be perceived as a good movie. Matthew Perry is a great physical comedy actor! His performance is right up their with Chevy Chase's physical comedy! All the characters work great together and are believable in their roles. Also, for my fellow home theater owners...this movie looks and sounds awesome! The music through out the flick is crystal clear and the gunshots are so profound, I was ducking so I wouldn't get hit! The dialogue is pinpoint accurate and all the sounds are natural. Quick words to the critics, when watching a movie try to view it as a whole and not as a bunch of actors, scenery, storylines, cinematography, directing, musical scores and producing. The story works, the comedy works...this film works! Buy it! P.S. I wrote this review after seeing it for the third time and laughing just as hard as I did the first time.

Summary: Funny, hilarious
Review: Very funny movie. Very good acting by Bruce, Mathew and Natasha. Amanda Peet is lovable, but does overact a bit. Movie moves at a brisk pace. Mathew's wife is trying to kill him and hires various hit men for the job. Bruce is Jimmy T, a big time mob guy from Chicago, who moves in next to Mathew takes a liking for him. The story gets complicated from then on. Natasha was very pleasant to the eyes. Good ending. DVD is very clean and crisp. Nothing extra on the disc though.

Summary: Did I have to see her nude?
Review: This was such a hilarious show. I laughed so hard at Matthew Perry (at his best) and Bruce Willis. Right when the plot starts to thicken though there are several minutes of this naked woman. Why do filmakers think we want to see that all the time? It's not like this is a romance or even an action film. It's a comedy! I would've given it five stars if she'd kept her clothes on or even if they'd moved the camera to a position where you got the idea but didn't have to see it.

Summary: Unexpectedly Intelligent and Witty Comedy
Review: Like most people I assumed that The Whole Nine Yards was going to be a mediocre comedy with yet another "Friends" star. I was surprised to find out that it was wildly original, far from a formulaic comedy. Matthew Perry delivered quite a remarkable performance playing a dentist who's ordinary life is shattered when a hitman for a mob-boss, played by Bruce Willis, hides out in the house across the street. I don't want to reveal too many plot twists without fear of ruining the movie, but they unexpected. Despite wildly obsurd situations the characters get into, you still end up believing the movie. The whole nine yards is quite a successfuly film. 5* for sure.

Summary: HIT MEN, AND WOMEN, GALORE
Review: A LITTLE QUIRKY WITH DARK HUMOR, BUT WILLIS AND PERRY GIVE SOLID ROLE PERFORMANCES. SOME FUNNY MOMENTS AND AN INTERESTING, YET SOMEWHAT INTRICATE, PLOT WITH A SATISTYING END. GOOD MOVIE.

Summary: Great Comedy!!! Excellente Comédie!!! Excelente Comedia!!!
Review: The Whole Nine Yards est un très bon divertissement avec une merveilleuse distribution d'acteurs telles que Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Michael Clarke Duncan ainsi que Natasha Henstridge, Rosanna Arquette et la très surprenante Amanda Peet. Cette comédie contient plusieurs scènes comiques, particulièrement avec Matthew Perry, mais on découvre surtout la jolie Amanda Peet dans ce film. Malgré que le film est américain, The Whole Nine Yards a été entièrement tourné à Montréal au Québec, Canada.

Summary: Only for Amanda Peet fans
Review: Amanda Peet steals the show as a perky wannabe hit-woman. The remaining characters, including Willis' and Perry's were mostly one-dimensional cliches completely lacking chemistry with each other. Since it was clearly a spoof, and the plot was amusing, the lack of characterization would have been forgivable if not for the overbearing soundtrack. It was far too loud and drowned out the dialog throughout most of the movie -- without this it would have been 3 stars.

Summary: I actually laughed. My God, I actually Laughed.
Review: I don't really know why I hate myself for liking this, but I do. It doesn't have any of the right ingredients for a funny or likeable film. I mean, it's a Friends Cast Film, for Crissakes! But, Perry is funny. Necessary, as well. He'll survive, and I truly belive that, as his sens eof comic timing is impeccable. And that saves this film. It's worth watching to see the Steering Wheel bit at the start alone! Ummm... There isn't much else I can say. I feel all embarrased now. Stop looking at me.

Summary: Poor performance by Bruce man !!
Review: I like Bruce Willis and I think he has searched the trash cans for this one. It came from the bottomless pit of rubbish movies, this one fits in with the Deuce Bigalow rubbish. Don't worry about wasting your money on this one.
