The Whole Ten Yards Details

This sequel to 2000's The Whole Nine Yards reunites Matthew Perry and Bruce Willis in their roles of nervy dentist and retired Mafia hitman respectively. Willis comes to the rescue when Perry's wife Natasha Henstridge is kidnapped by a Hungarian mob led by Kevin Pollack (as the father of the character he played in the original). The trouble is that Willis's usually reliable comic timing is nowhere to be seen and the actresses — Amanda Peet returns as the aspiring hitwoman who's now married to Willis — seem bored by the contrivances haphazardly put together by director Howard Deutch. The only real winner is Matthew Perry, whose slapstick schtick shows us what we've been missing since the TV series Friends ended.
