The Whole Ten Yards is a 2004 American crime comedy film directed by Howard Deutch and starring Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, Kevin Pollak and Natasha Henstridge.
Thanks to falsified dental records supplied by his former neighbor Nicholas "Oz" Ozeransky, retired hitman Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski spends his days compulsively cleaning his house and perfecting his culinary skills with his wife, Jill, a purported assassin who has yet to pull off a "clean" hit – everyone she is hired to kill dies in bizarre accidents before she has a chance.
Capturing Laszlo's remaining son Strabovitz, Jimmy offers to trade Strabo for Cynthia.
Asking to join Laszlo's organization, Jill is ordered to kill Jimmy, who tells her she'll never be a successful hitter before she shoots him in the heart.
The website's consensus reads: "A strained, laugh-free sequel, The Whole Ten Yards recycles its predecessor's cast and plot but not its wit or reason for being.
"[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 24 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.
[5] In Matthew Perry's memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, the actor stated that this film's disappointing reception drastically curtailed his film career writing, "That was the moment Hollywood decided to no longer invite Mr. Perry to be in movies”.
