Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The Whole Nine Yards (2000): Dir: Jonathan Lynn / Cast: Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Natasha Henstridge, Michael Clarke Duncan, Amanda Peet: Caper comedy about the trouble we sometimes find ourselves in and the emotional endurance to figure out a solution. Matthew Perry plays a dentist who hates his marriage. Bruce Willis plays a criminal who moves in next door and refuses the witness protection program. Perry is blackmailed by his wife to expose him and reap profit. Clever concept littered with clichés. The ending uplifts criminals with humour evolving around murder. Director Jonathan Lynn previously made Sgt. Bilko but here his directing is more conventional. Willis plays Jimmy the Tulip as the ominous new neighbour who is way ahead in the con game. Perry as the depressed dentist is miserable until he becomes stranded within danger and lust. Michael Clarke Duncan plays Willis's right hand man who at first is seen as an enemy. The handling of the character in the conclusion is too conventional. Natasha Henstridge is less than effective as Willis's ex-wife. Her romance with Perry is more predictable formula than anything. Amanda Peet steals every scene she is in as Perry's dental assistant who desires to meet Jimmy. Theme regards the curious lifestyles of those living around us. It never goes the whole nine yards but the ground it does cover is a hoot at best. Score: 5 ½ / 10

Well, this is one of those hard movies to rate. Even thought we have an innovative direction with an ironic and original story, sometimes we have bad conversations, allied with bad performances and an implausible plot. Matthew Perry acts in this movie exactly like he does in "Friends", which shows he's not able to perform much differently than that. Bruce Willis does his job professionally, but the absurd plot ruins his character. You know, EVERYBODY in this movie seems to be a potential killer, and they talk about that very calmly. People who want to kill others usually aren't that peaceful. My other complaint is that we have too few funny scenes; after 40 minutes of length we don't know if this is a comedy or just a random and pointless film. I must confess I turned it off before completing the first hour, due to the great tedious it lured me into. It's not my fault as a viewer that it is simply boring and nothing ever happens; maybe with a more plausible story this would've worked better. Bad movie anyways.

I was very confused by Bruce Willis in this movie. I was kind of expecting him to play a lunatic serial killer, like in The Jackal, since he was an assassin again, but he was very tame this time around. The movie's general theme is comedy after all, Matthew Perry's strong point, but definitely not Willis's. Willis is most at home in an action-drama role. However, Amanda Peet was clearly the film's strongest contender. She really brightens up the mood whenever she's on screen. Although, I half expected Willis to just to get bored and discard her like he would have in The Jackal, he is a hit-man after all.

This movie is quite poor, in passages slow and quite unexciting and in general a quite poor actor performance, although a fair share of the cast are regarded movie stars. The plot and climax are both pretty, silly to say the least... HOWEVER all this being said it is most important for me too add that i somehow enjoy the movie. Some of the deliveries in the script are pretty funny and the whole situation built up around 'the tulip' (one of the main characters - portrayed by Willis) is very nicely depicted throughout the movie. The awkward and fearsome atmosphere is fairly well captured in the movie.The movie in general doesn't contribute with that much, and it IS pretty poor in general. But i can't help to be entertained by it.
