The Whole Ten Yards

no reason for this to have been made

06 December 2008

An unnecessary sequel if there ever was one finds bumbling dentist Perry now happily married to Henstridge, until she's kidnapped by vengeful mobster Lazlo Gogolak and his Hungarian crew who know that former associate Jimmy Tudeski (Willis) is still alive. Not capable of getting her back by himself, he enlists the aid of Jimmy and wife Jill; she's anxious to get back into the game, but unfortunately he's put the old life behind him in favor of staying at home and obsessing over the cleanliness of his surroundings. The same cast that brought so much life and energy to The Whole Nine Yards flounders in this embarrassing follow-up where the film's ridiculous story throws out one lame plot twist after another and an abundance of desperate gags. At times the actors appear as if they're begging for help.
