“They missed each other. This time, their aim is better.”
Movie: The Whole Ten Yards
Rating:
Rank:
Director: Howard Deutch
Release Date: 2004
Cast: Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, Kevin Pollak, and Natasha Henstridge
The gang’s back in this hilarious sequel to, The Whole Nine Yards. In the opening scene it displays Jimmy Tudeski (Bruce Willis), who’s a hitman, at his worse. He’s been in hiding for two years and the results of this are that he’s gone just a little nuts. Instead of killing and breaking the law he’s; cooking, cleaning, and just acting like Martha Stewart. This new Jimmy is upsetting his wife Jill, also a hitman, who just wants to shoot someone.
Then the movie switches over to Nicholas Oseransky (Matthew Perry), who’s now even more paranoid than before. When his wife, Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge), is kidnapped by Lazlo (Kevin Pollak), he goes to Jimmy for help but, he’s surprised when he’s unwelcome at Jimmy’s new home in Mexico. In the first 15 minutes you’re already laughing at how funny Bruce Willis’s character turns out to be.
This movie keeps you laughing from the beginning to end which, in my opinion, is hard to do now a days. It has a very weird plot, which has a couple of twists by the way, and a great cast that acts well. Bruce’s role in this movie is a little eccentric but, it’s hilarious and I personally think this is one of his better roles in a comedy.
You then have Matthew Perry who’s the best actor to portray his role of, guy who’s fearful of everything and anything. His character is paranoid beyond all belief and Matthew just seems like the type of guy that would be paranoid. I haven’t seen many movies with Matthew in them but, this one is by far my favorite. Both of the actors above portray their roles very well and get two thumbs up from me.
Kevin Pollak is at his funniest playing as Lazlo, who’s a crime lord just released from prison, I would have to say he’s the actor that played his role perfectly. Everything he says will crack you up a little bit too almost dieing from laughter. For example, instead of saying “F***” he says “Fouke”. Some of the crazy things he does can only be seen not described, seeing as they’re hilarious. Not only is his character funny, he’s mad at Jimmy and wants revenge and through out the whole movie Lazlo tries to get Jimmy with is comical plans.
This movie gets two thumbs up by me but, that’s probably because my mouth was hurting from laughter, I’m a sucker for comedies. I loved it from beginning to end but, it did have the flaw of having too much laughter. I know what you are thinking, “Too much laughter”, but the reason I say this there’s actually a little bit of seriousness to the end of this movie but, they keep throwing funny stuff at you not allowing you actually feel for the character.
I recommend this movie to people who love comedies and have seen The Whole Nine Yards. The reason I say you should see that movie first is because you can get more out of the movie, comedy wise, then if you don’t. Since I know what’s going on, I have a lot more laughs then people who haven’t seen the prequel. If you stop by the rental store, pick up The Whole Nine Yards and watch it before you see the sequel. It will make you experience the movie much better.
