Richard Propes' Review

C-

This film plays worse than the Indianapolis Colts in a play-off game

Average performances by Matthew Perry and Amanda Peet can't hide the fact that this film, a sequel to "The Whole Nine Yards," is a major disappointment largely due to a weak performance by Bruce Willis and a script that lacks the subtlety and unique,dark humor of the original.

A new gangster, Lazslo is played by Kevin Pollak. I've never been fond of Pollak (and I hear he's quite the prima donna), but he does a serviceable job here.

The dialogue is considerably more forced, the storyline a tad ridiculous for this style of film. The film never had my interest and I finished watching it completely uninvolved in any of the characters. Decent performances by Perry and Peet save this film for me, but I still can't work my way up to a recommendation. If you loved the original, well, just watch it again.
