Summary: Odd how people's sense of humor differs
Review: What can I say? It's hard to beat Yimmy & Oz...as they breath...THE AIR. Give Oz a couple of drinks and he's ready for anything :-)>And like all good flicks, he gets the babe in the end and they live happily everafter. Who can dislike that?

Summary: HORRIBLE WASTE OF TIME
Review: all i have to say is michael clarke duncan went from the green mile, to this piece of garbage? from the previews when it was out in theaters, the studio sold this as a COMEDY. well about the first 15 minutes are anywhere close to what the preview's were selling. from there, the movie drags oh so slowly. the scene in matthew perry's chicago hotel room goes about 15 minutes TOO LONG. matthew perry is just playing chandler bing in canada. rosanna arquette is really wasted in this role, any woman could have played it. i mean, this move is just not funny! its not anything! bruce willis just starts killing everyone in the end. kevin pollock is so so boring. the plot limps along so bad you can see it hurting. PLEASE AVOID THIS DRECK!

Summary: Amanda Peet is the best
Review: The Whole Nine Yards 2000 starring Amanda Peet, Natasha Henstridge, Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, and others. This was actually a very entertaining movie overall, and the fact that Amanda Peet shows off her assets is just icing on the cake. It isn't only a quick peek that we get in this film either; it really seems as if she has no qualms with being naked on screen. Hopefully, this is just a glimpse of what we can expect from the perfectly proportioned newcomer.

Summary: Forget good and evil; I'll take funny
Review: It takes a little while to get used to this movie, to relax and suspend disbelief and enjoy yourself, but it's well worth it. With every minute the plot gets a little bit more complex, until you get the impression that Oz (a dentist played by Matthew Perry) will be lucky if he ends up getting killed by a mere one hitman. Meanwhile Oz's new next-door neighbor, the mass murderer Tulip (Bruce Willis) gets increasingly interesting-and you can't help liking Oz's receptionist, for all that she aspires to murder. It's not difficult to find yourself rooting for the good guys AND the bad guys, and much of the joy of this movie is watching how each intricate section of the problem is solved-often just in time for another problem to pop up. Unfortunately the directing in this film isn't great and the cinematography borders on dull. Still, watching this film, it's pretty easy to forget all that and just enjoy Oz's face when he learns who's out to kill him THIS time.

Summary: Non Stop Laughs
Review: One of the things that makes this movie so funny it that the actors and actresses can say the funiest or most extremely drastic things and say it as if it was as everyday as going to the store or they say something so everyday and say it in a way that is so funny or drastic. The unlikly pairing of Bruce Willis a big guy and Mathew Perry a not so big guy also gets big luaghs. Virtully anyone who likes comedies that involve major delemas and comedies that involve people saying things importent like it's nothing or vice versa will love this movie

Summary: Hilarious!!!!
Review: What do you get when you put Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry together? One absolutely hilarious film!!! I laughed from beginning to end.
When Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Bruce Willis), a hit man who has been all over the papers, moves in next door to a goof ball dentist, Nicholas "Oz" Oseranski, Oz doesnt realize right off hand just WHO has moved in next door. But when he finds out and tells his dental assistant, Jill(Amanda Peet) she can't wait to meet him herself, b/c low and behold she is trying to get into contract killing and AH surprise, Oz was supposed to be her first hit. And that is just one of the hilarious twists in this side splitting comedy.
It has a great supporting cast Michael Clarke Duncan, Kevin Pollack, Rosanna Arquette, and Natasha Henstridge. If you havent yet caught this movie on cable, get in your car, drive to Blockbuster and pick it up......you will be so glad you did!!!

Summary: Surprisingly Hilarious
Review: I saw this one night on cable at about 2 AM and I remember thinking to myself "there's no way this is as funny as it seems right now." I eventually saw it again after a good night's sleep and in a much more alert frame of mind and was surprised that it was still hilarious. Matthew Perry is a grossly underestimated comedian - his straight-man delivery is excellent, his physical comedy is crisp, and his sense of timing is impeccable. Although Bruce Willis isn't my favorite actor, he's good here, and the supporting cast (especially Kevin Pollack) are great as well. Do yourself a favor - check this one out.

Summary: Fun Film with Great Acting!
Review: If you expect a comedy classic, then don't bother watching the Whole Nine Yards, but if you want a funny enjoyable movie, then certainly this film delivers the goods.
The secret is in the casting, as all the actors involved give very good performances. Bruce Willis is a very good actor, and he has a great comic potential, and he does a good job in portraying the hard as nails hitman with compassion! Matthew Perry does well too, although he does overact a bit, but nevertheless he shows a lot of potential that has yet to be exploited again as well as in this film .Natasha Henstridge is simply gorgeous, playing Willis's sophisticated estranged wife, while Amanda Peet is a gem, and has a lot of comic talent. In my opinion, it is one of her best films to date, and her topless scene alone makes the Whole Nine Yards a must buy!!!
Rosanna Arquette is excellent too, and does a great accent.She plays the bitchy cold wife of Matthew Perry, who unsuccessfully plots his death.(she reminded of a bit of my ex! but that's another story!!)
In all The Whole Nine Yards is an above average,quite enjoyable film that will leave you smiling and feeling good.

Summary: A lot of fun, just not very funny
Review: Bruce Willis is Jimmy Tulip, a hitman hiding out in Canada after he turned evidence against a crime boss (Kevin Pollack) back in the US. Setting up house in a sunny, if remote neighborhood in Quebec, he attracts the attentions of his neighbor, Nicholas 'Oz' Oseransky (Matt Perry, doing his perpetually on-edge shtick from "Friends") and Sophie, Oz's shrew of a wife (Rosanna Arquette). Sophie wants Oz to turn Jimmy in to his former employers, counting on a rich reward for his head, but Oz isn't about to tangle with the mob. When Sophie dangles divorce as an incentive, Oz travels to Chicago where he meets Jimmy's one time superiors and Cynthia (Nastasha Henstridge), Jimmy's own ex. (We also learn of a huge bank account in both Jimmy's and Cynthia's name - neither can get to it without the other, but a withdrawal will mean that each has outlived his usefulness.) Being forced between the hitman and his gangster boss is only the latest indignity Oz has suffered (Oz took over his deceased father in-law's dental practice, one mired in debt when Cynthia's father was sued by a patient and compounded when the poor guy tried to make the money back gambling). Though terrified of Jimmy, Oz manages to befriend his new neighbor and feels somehow honor bound to protect him. But also feels himself growing closer to Cynthia, knowing that Jimmy will simply kill her once he's found a way to get his money. Torn, Oz comes up with a plan he hopes will save Jimmy while protecting Cynthia from him. Unfortunately, he never figures on how his receptionist, Jill (Amanda Peet) will mess up his barely workable plan. This was a fun movie, but never really becomes funny. Matt Perry's ticks provide the most fun, but you can say that every week on Friends. Willis is a lot of fun as a smiling killer ("It doesn't matter how many people I've killed. What matters is how I get along with the people who are still alive") without actually cracking any jokes. Unfortunately, the script plays like a farce without ever reaching the comedic heights of farce. That wouldn't be a problem, but "The Whole" looks like it was more fun to make than watch.

Summary: Worst Jonathan Lynn's Film
Review: Been an avid follower of Jonathan Lynn's movies since the highly hilarious and excellent "My Cousin Vinny"...and is sad to say that this is probably the worst movie ever directed by this him (major snags in the script didn't help either)! For laughs, I recommend his earlier works - "My Cousin Vinny","A Distinguished Gentlemen" or "Sgt Bilko" instead.
