Reviews for The Whole Ten Yards
If The Whole Nine Yards was a by-product of the hit man genre of dark comedies launched by Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Ten Yards is just a copy of a copy.
04/09/04
A dumb, pointless sequel.
04/09/04
Top CriticTen Yards' collection of sight gags and silliness never gels into anything more than a desperate attempt to wring laughs out of a tapped-out premise.
04/09/04
Top CriticNowhere amidst all the frantic clutter do we find anything resembling the sweet, nutty playing that elevated The Whole Nine Yards.
04/09/04
Top CriticIt's yet another sequel that's just not as good as the original.
04/09/04
Making a sequel to a forgettable little film released four years ago is bad enough, but The Whole Ten Yardsactually requires you to remember the first movie's plot.
04/09/04
Willis gives head cases a bad name, never quite letting even his fellow actors in on the joke that he took this particular job for the paycheck.
04/09/04
[T]he perfect example of the utterly unnecessary sequel.
04/09/04
The extra yard in the title is, apparently, the amount of rope necessary for this unwanted franchise to hang itself.
04/09/04
If you find yourself pulled in with the Friday night herd to see the movie, you should be in for a tolerable enough time.
04/09/04
The Whole sequel is so excruciatingly bad it reaches a new low for Bruce Willis.
04/09/04
It's merely there because Hollywood has turned into a boring, ol' risk-averse, churn-'em-out machine that'd rather bang out recycled garbage than take a chance on anything original.
04/09/04
A recycled, unfunny, dumbed-down version of a really good movie - maybe a dose of that nitrous oxide would have helped .
04/09/04
...fails to go the same distance its predecessors did in storytelling and, just like the title's dubious twist on the common expression, no one seems to know what it means.
04/09/04
A paltry collection of lame one-liners, stock characters and tired sight gags.
04/09/04
one of the sloppiest pieces of hackwork to be put out by a major studio recently. In fact, this flaccid comedy's only laughs come from its sheer ineptitude.
04/09/04
With a level of anti-chemistry that approaches the supernatural, the cast... looks desperately miserable...
04/09/04
Perry resembles nothing so much as a jittery sitcom character plopped into a big-screen story, out of place and desperate.
04/08/04
Here's another major-studio comedy that makes you want to apply for frequent-misery mileage.
