What to Know

Critics Consensus

A strained, laugh-free sequel, The Whole Ten Yards recycles its predecessor's cast and plot but not its wit or reason for being.

This time the situations are forced, the punchlines are flat and the actors are more like caricatures instead of actual characters. Go to Full Review Keith Rockmael The List 04/18/2019

Let's hope this franchise doesn't go to 11. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 04/29/2009
Unfunny, badly acted, and made solely for the purposes of big paychecks this film is just utterly embarrassing and nonsensical. This is mindless drivel, without being able to call itself a guilty pleasure. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gi S @Gistevenn Feb 28 What a mess, not nearly as good as 9 yards. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 20 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Pam T @RT00926800 03/13/2025 Horrible disappointing movie! The actors should be ashamed of themselves for even being in the movie. How do such horrible movies get made? See more steve d @RT35616104 12/26/2022 Yikes this follow up is a train wreck. See more 12/04/2022 2.2 watchable but not good See more 03/29/2021 A distant viewing since watching its predecessor to settle an agreement that it sort-of recycles then ridicules, instead becoming an hilarious showcase for Willis, Peet and mainly Perry who still was channeling Chandler Bing at the time rather signifying differently himself. Like before, the main performances thwart the flaws and turned them into jokes as a redemptive factor; even though, as it's hard to imagine without its best reliance, this is from a biased spectatorship from ever enjoying a certain timeless sitcom.
