An excruciating rehash that has virtually none of the wit and charm of the original.

Reviews for The Whole Ten Yards
If you want more of the same, Whole Ten Yards gives exactly that. And only that.
04/08/04
The only thing to keep this effort from sinking completely, like a snitch with cement shoes, is Kevin Pollack’s broad portrayal.

Avoid the film, burn $10, down a large Coke, then jump up and down on your bed until you're completely nauseous. The effect will be the same but you'll save 90 minutes.

None of it is funny. At all. Not even a little.

Could it BE any more atrocious?
04/08/04
Ten Yards regathers the cast of quirky killers and neurotic nebbishes and gives them almost nothing to do.
04/08/04
The sequel to The Whole Nine Yards is more afterthought than accomplishment, a cocktail made with orange juice and Champale instead of actual bubbly.
04/08/04
Top CriticA disastrously unfunny sequel.
04/08/04
[A] miserably unfunny, wholly unnecessary affair.
04/08/04
An exercise in humiliation for all concerned.
04/08/04
Top CriticStrenuously unfunny.

You'd have better luck locating the Lost Dutchman Mine than finding a chuckle in this film.

Top Critic...like a morgue for laughs. Dead jokes are lined up across the screen.
04/08/04
The strain needed to extend The Whole Ten Yards a yard -- and to feature length -- is so evident it breaks new pic's comedy spirit, making it a dubious member of the Sequel Hall of Shame.
04/08/04
Top CriticWhere the first pic breezed along with gags and gunplay, this forced follow-up is artificial to the hilt -- fueled on a kind of trying-too-hard hilarity that makes even good actors look bad.
04/08/04
The big surprise -- the only gratifying surprise -- of The Whole Ten Yards is that we're glad to see almost everyone back.
04/08/04
Top CriticPerry is good at physical comedy. But there are only so many times Oz can take pratfalls before we start to feel embarrassed for Perry for having to milk laughs from such feeble fodder.
04/08/04
Marginally better directed and better written than the original Nine Yards, it's still a big, empty picture full of star turns, artificial energy and jokes that don't quite work, even if stars Willis and Perry do their best to slam them across.
04/08/04
Top CriticThe story is a formulaic jumble, and the minor characters often appear to have wandered in from another Hollywood set.
