Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Bruce Willis), a mob hitman-turned-informant, ratted on the mob and put his life in jeopardy. Now he has moved to suburban Montreal, ostensibly to make a new start. His next-door neighbor is mild-mannered, unhappily married dentist Nick "Oz" Oseransk (Matthew Perry). Nick recognizes Jimmy from the newspaper stories about his mob testimony, and that's when Nick's simple, boring world turns upside down.

Critics Consensus

Despite a charming cast, The Whole Nine Yards can't tickle funny bones consistently enough to distract from its sitcom-like story.

This is literally my top 5 favorite movies and very underrated as a whole. 1st off, it's Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry. Bruce to perfect the action and Matthew to perfect the comedy. What's even better is the twists and turns that keep you captivated. Best true Action/Comedy of it's decade

This classic crime comedy was really good. Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis, Natasha Henstridge, Amanda Peet, Michael Clarke Duncan, Kevin Pollak, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. The plot of the movie was entertaining, humorous, and thrilling. It's a funny story about working with a criminal and running away with his ex-wife. If you haven't seen this classic movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see.

Buena película, una comedia normalita pero que para mi no es considerada como una mala película. Es una cinta con una trama que no se toma muy en serio porque no tiene momentos serios en cuanto a lo que cuenta, que es una trama algo seria ya que involucra a mafias y asesinos. Toda la película tiene conveniencias o cosas sin sentido o tontas que suceden que no te llegan a arruinar la película, pero no ayudan a que sea una excelente comedia. Tiene un humor que por momentos funciona a mi parecer, ya que tiene buenos chistes y las actuaciones ayudan a que este humor funcione de buena manera. Hay que destacar que es bastante entretenida y no es muy larga, por lo que es fácil de ver. Las actuaciones me gustaron mucho, principalmente las de Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis, Amanda Peet y Michael Clarke Duncan. En conclusión, una buena película de comedia que es para pasar el rato y reírte con algunos chistes y por las geniales actuaciones, pero que no te la tenes que tomar en serio ya que su historia es algo tonta y sin sentido. La recomiendo.

If you're the type of person who thinks you could write a Hollywood screenplay, see this movie. It will give you a lot of confidence.
