Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Bruce Willis), a mob hitman-turned-informant, ratted on the mob and put his life in jeopardy. Now he has moved to suburban Montreal, ostensibly to make a new start. His next-door neighbor is mild-mannered, unhappily married dentist Nick "Oz" Oseransk (Matthew Perry). Nick recognizes Jimmy from the newspaper stories about his mob testimony, and that's when Nick's simple, boring world turns upside down.

Critics Consensus

Despite a charming cast, The Whole Nine Yards can't tickle funny bones consistently enough to distract from its sitcom-like story.

It's a slim film, but there are some undeniably enjoyable moments, mostly derived from Perry's effective pratfalling. Go to Full Review Mike Clark USA Today 01/01/2000

It's like one of those late Blake Edwards comedies in which very little is working, but you have to admire the attempt at some physical humor. Go to Full Review Chuck Klosterman Akron Beacon Journal 10/27/2023

bruce C @bruce999 Aug 3 under-rated movie funny. well done. some adult parts, but fun movie throughout See more Landon J @Minxsykitty Jul 30 I was suuuper bored during this. I dunno, maybe Willis is the only reason I could enjoy. The antics are super lame and predictable, none of the exposition was all that compelling. Only suitable for Willis filmography completionists. See more Mike H @CritixsRNotSmarter Jan 13 I loved it, Bruce Willis is great! See more Monic Kenya M @RT39028728 Nov 1 Great cast, superb acting by Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis Michael Duncan in this movie. Great script very funny most def worth a watch See more Aye E @RT43717499 Oct 16 The low ratings on this are INSANE! This is one of the best comedy films ever. Matthew Perry is at his all time best with pitch perfect timing in every scene. Just rewatching it after years of insipid junk on streaming has me rolling on the floor like I just took a toke, but I'm stone cold. See more thiago s @Thiagostone 08/20/2025 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
