The Whole Nine Yards (2000)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

best movie i've ever seen.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I just love Natasha Henstridge ( Species ). She is the most beautiful blonde hair actress in Hollywood. In this movie Matthew Perry ( Oz ) is dentist from Cannada who is married for the wrong woman ( Arquette ). We all remembered her in Second Skin (2000) with Angus McFayden ( The Saw ), where he acted the mobster count-keeper who'd be-trailed his Boss ( Pitter Fonda )and tried to escape with his money. He'd changed his face by plastic operations, but his Boss sent "The elite" killers of the organization to find two face son of the jackal. Natasha Henstridge'd crossed over McFayden and killed him in the very end with her lesbian lover. This movie was " Outrageous". Thumbs up!

Time is 2000. Bruce Willis fresh off 'the Fifth Element'. An on-form Matthew Perry fresh off 'Friends'. This is a crime-comedy with all the goods from either world, and it's done *just right*. The plot is good, and the film's got that typical contorted type story at the middle of it linking many different characters, but still absolutely coherent and compelling. Perry really is very funny in this one, and it's about to be one crazy ride for this prude of a dentist when an ex- big time conman is his neighbor and he finds out who he is and somehow finds himself involved. This is a crazy ride, with lots of great fun and action, good laughs, a good atmosphere between tight tension and comedy relief, the supporting cast is great, and the plots within the plots are strong enough to make this a fairly layered piece of genre-hybrid cinema. Just all in all, an excellent comedy.

Funny and entertaining mob-comedy.Montreal, Canada. A down-on-his luck dentist, "Oz" Oseransky (played by Matthew Perry), discovers that his new neighbour is Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski, former mob contract killer turned Police informant. The mob has put on price on the head of Tudeski (Bruce Willis). Egged on my his loathsome wife Oz sets off to Chicago to let the mob know where Tudeski is and, with a bit of luck, claim part of the reward...A movie which makes full use of Matthew Perry's prodigious comedic talents, especially for physical comedy. While Bruce Willis is solid in his role, Perry makes the movie. Very funny, and very Chandleresque. Plot is decent too, though is really just a vehicle for the comedy. Can be silly at times though, but generally doesn't get too out of hand or wander too far from the main focus. Good support from Amanda Peet (especially), Natasha Henstridge, Michael Clarke Duncan and Kevin Pollak. Roseanna Arquette is very irritating as Oz's wife, but maybe that was the idea...

This movie is quite poor, in passages slow and quite unexciting and in general a quite poor actor performance, although a fair share of the cast are regarded movie stars. The plot and climax are both pretty, silly to say the least... HOWEVER all this being said it is most important for me too add that i somehow enjoy the movie. Some of the deliveries in the script are pretty funny and the whole situation built up around 'the tulip' (one of the main characters - portrayed by Willis) is very nicely depicted throughout the movie. The awkward and fearsome atmosphere is fairly well captured in the movie.The movie in general doesn't contribute with that much, and it IS pretty poor in general. But i can't help to be entertained by it.
