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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Pongo K An action comedy. It serves its purpose, no Oscar, but you will be entertained. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Definitely nothing special. Very boring and would never waist my time on it again. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Brenner B 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Ricky C Good plot and comedy. Not amazing but still worth a watch.
