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.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media This appalling mess of a movie just isn't funny. Rated: 1/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Hank Sartin Chicago Reader Every joke is stretched to the breaking point, and no one seems to be having any fun. Jan 8, 2007 Full Review Empire Magazine The script is so bland it barely musters a whole ten laughs. Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News This time the situations are forced, the punchlines are flat and the actors are more like caricatures instead of actual characters. Rated: F Nov 16, 2019 Full Review Keith Rockmael The List Let's hope this franchise doesn't go to 11. Rated: 1/5 Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 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. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

steve d Yikes this follow up is a train wreck. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 2.2 watchable but not good Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/04/22 Full Review Audience Member 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. (B) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This PG-13 sequel contains less harsh material than the original R-rated movie because it is funnier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome sequel. Laughed all the way through. I wish they'd make an 11 yards. Probably only should get a 4 but the scored it's getting are a travesty. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member My wife and I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes of this movie. The black jigaboo doll on the baby mobile was very disturbing. Having seen this image it now tarnishes the fun memory of the first movie. I know that I will not be finishing this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
