(MATTHEW PERRY) at the end of The Whole Nine Yards, Jimmy double-crossed the Gogolak gang and escaped the Feds by faking his own death. Now, secure in his Baja hideaway, Jimmy has traded in his shotgun for a dust buster and is learning to channel his natural intensity into more domestic pursuits like cleaning, decorating and perfecting his culinary skills while working through some of the personal issues that led him to a life of crime. Meanwhile, his wife Jill (AMANDA PEET), an idealistic wannabe assassin who has yet to pull off a clean hit, dreams of the good old days when the only thing her wild man Jimmy cared about wiping up was evidence. Suddenly, an uninvited guest shows up on the Tudeskis’ doorstep. It’s Oz, breathless and desperate, begging them to help rescue his wife, Cynthia (NATASHA HENSTRIDGE), who has been kidnapped by the Gogolaks. Jimmy couldn’t be less interested. It’s not his job anymore. But before he can toss Oz out on his ear, more gate-crashers arrive. Newly paroled mob boss Lazlo Gogolak (KEVIN POLLAK) and his goons have followed

 The word "unnecessary" seems understated in describing The Whole Ten Yards, a movie whose existence probably excited only those who received a paycheck for participating.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
This sequel refuses to go the extra yard that its title would suggest. Avoid Ten Yards’ BS at all costs.  --David Levine (FilmCritic.com)
The film is more of a remake than anything else, and doesn't offer us anything new in the realm of character development. The storyline is completely disposable, and the acting is amateurish--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
Like being weighted down with cement shoes, tossed in the East River and told to swim laps.  --Blake Snyder (MovieWeb)
I strongly recommend that you stay a whole ten yards away from any theatre where this movie is playing. 52/100--Mike DeWolfe (Apollo Guide)
Sometimes there are no better ways to describe a film than to just, straight-out, tell it like it is: this is a shit movie, folks! 2/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
'THE Whole Ten Yards" is a dumb, pointless sequel to the enjoyable 2000 black comedy "The Whole Nine Yards." The original, about a dentist befriended by a hit-man neighbor, boasted stretches of quirky, breezy freshness; this one is sour and stale throughout.  --Jonathan Foreman (New York Post)
This Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, and Amanda Peet sequel falls several yards short of its mark. --Marrit Ingman (Austin Chronicle)

| ...a cocktail made with orange juice and Champale instead of actual bubbly. At least it isn't a remake -- though given how slovenly and forced this movie is, maybe that wouldn't have been such a bad idea. --Elvis Mitchell (The New York Times)
"The Whole Nine Yards" was not a particularly inspired project, but it was made with spirit and good cheer, and you felt the actors almost visibly expanding on the screen --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
