Retired hitman Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Willis) is living the quiet life in a beachfront bungalow in Mexico, miles away from his former life.

You thought "The Whole Nine Yards" was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. Thumbs down.

Hey Efe B., your review was about as stupid as this movie, and less funny. At least during the movie I smile twice and laughed once. Old women farting just get to me I guess.

It blows piles, avoid at all cost. Rather clean your bath, would be time better spent. Not natasha showing some clevage would have saved this crap movie.

I don't know why I get sukered in to watch these sequels. The movie is rubbish. Another big flop wait for the TV movie. Bruce Willis supposely adlibs in movies and even he can't carry this picture. No story, no laughs, couldn't wait for it to finish. Bored me to tears.
Ron C gave it a 4:
Wow! I am so out of touch with critics. Okay, this wasn't a GREAT movie, but I'd sit through it 10 times before I'd watch "Crouching Tiger" again. I must live in my own little world. "The Whole 10..." isn't that bad.
Efe B. gave it a 1:
My score is 1 and not a fat 0 simply because i felt sorry for bruce willis in this movie. i have a feeling he needed the money...so he got the money and my one vote. it would have been better if ALL he did was take, but he GAVE us something....something so magnificently stupid, so amazingly shamefull, so mind bendingly crappy....he gave us this movie. if i begin with bruce's review, there will be no space to write about how bad kevin pollack and matthew perry and amanda peet were in this film. so let's give bruce a break and put his performance in a few words: "aaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh"!!!!! o.k, as for kevin pollack the same word above doesn't even do his horrible jewish mobster thing justice. him calling jimmy -"yimmy" is as funny as he gets, which as you can see is not funny at all. the movie "a few good men" was pollack's best and only on screen presence, like eminem says to moby "too old, let go,it's over, nobody listens to tecno" take a hike kevin. amanda peet. what a "peety". you know you have sunken lower than low when all the guys in the theatre are waiting to see your t.ts and not even listening a word you say...we don't even get to see her t.ts, but get a corny suggestion that we almost do which is not only cheap but degrading for her as an actress, why even fiddle with sexual jokes if you are gona cover her up in towels?...like the 98 percent of this film, her being in this film is a false promise. as for mathew perry, a star of the hit show friends...proves once again that he HAS no friends in real life, because if he did...they would have stopped him from acting in this amazingly awful film. unlike kevin pollack, this fella is young...i have no idea what eminem would have told this guy to do, maybe this will suit him "you are too doped, too boring, let go, it's over, nobody listens to techno"?
Chad S. gave it a 3:
Is Kevin Pollack supposed to be Larry Tate from "Bewitched"? His accent is painfully unfunny. Bruce Willis cries and we forget to laugh because Robert DeNiro has already cornered the market on neurotic sociopaths. Matthew Perry isn't a very good physical comedian. He works too hard for laughs and gets winces instead. What made "The Whole Nine Yards" a somewhat amiable comedy was Amanda Peet's surprising flair for comedy. If Perry and Willis allowed Peet to be the focal point, we might've had a watchable film. Pat yourself on the back if you can endure the whole ninety-seven minutes of "The Whole Ten Yards".
