A subtle but unmistakable aura of jolliness sneaks from the screen during The Whole Nine Yards.

Director Jonathan Lynn keeps a loose rein on the nuttiness but never lets it get out of bounds and maintains the film's comic buoyancy throughout.

The actors exhibit a surprising inconsistency of tone in their performances.

Judging from the dull light that pervades every scene, The Whole Nine Yards wasn't just all shot in the same place, it was all shot on the same day.

Some very funny moments, but not for kids.

There are a number of genuinely clever twists and ideas that it's unfortunate that someone decided to muck it up with cheap slapstick.

Comes as close as a movie can to being a successful comedy without making it.

10/06/2010 (DVD)Its seriously not serious, the type of flick that "takes a piss" out of "taking a piss", seriously.Quite an intelligent style of comedy with awkward situations that add to the twists that keep it interesting and amusing.Although it's so predictable, its still fun to see what happens next and even though
