Leaden, laugh-free, lacking anything resembling a heart, mind or soul.

Reviews for The Whole Ten Yards
A dismal sequel to the second-rate Whole Nine Yards.
04/09/04
So mirthless is this misbegotten enterprise, the sound of fake chucklers busting a gut would at least have given us valuable clues as to when we're supposed to laugh.
04/09/04
Top CriticThe Whole Nine Yards was only about a yard short of being a worthwhile comedy back in 2000, but its sequel, The Whole Ten Yards, doesn't even manage to get onto the playing field.
04/09/04
Slap-happy and slapdash, Ten Yards lacks the clever twists and turns that made the original such fun.
04/09/04
Top CriticThere are movies that could benefit from Three Stooges sound effects. This is one.
04/09/04
As if we need further proof that Perry is not cut out for movie stardom -- either Almost Heroes or Three to Tango would suffice -- The Whole Ten Yards confirms it.
04/09/04
There's nothing in this sequel that needs to be experienced in the theater, unless you have a particular desire to see Matthew Perry smash his face into doors, cupboards and a floor or two.
04/09/04
If [The Whole Nine Yards] should not have worked, then the sequel definitely shouldn't work, either. But, once again, it kind of does.
04/09/04
The story makes absolutely no sense.
04/09/04
For all its loud gunplay and manic shouting, the movie never works up much of a head of steam.
04/09/04
Top CriticA time waster.
04/09/04
Top CriticA second-rate sitcom with gunplay.
04/09/04
This is the kind of farce Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis churned out when they teamed up for The Great Race and Peter Falk and Alan Arkin gave us in The In-Laws.
04/09/04
The upside of all this -- I'm willing to bet no one will have to go through the trouble of coming up with a sequel title with the word Eleven in it.
04/09/04
It's possibly the laziest, lamest comedy to come along in awhile.
04/09/04
A mostly funny film with occasional dead spots that does best letting the caricatures say exactly what you'd thought they'd say in next week's episode.
04/09/04
This is one of those movies you look at quizzically: What did they think they were doing?
04/09/04
Top CriticThe Whole Ten Yards is not as desperate, unfunny, and nonsensical as its title. It's worse.
04/09/04
Top CriticOne of the most laughless experiences I've had at a theatre so far this year.
