Notebook Reviews: THE WHOLE NINE YARDS

Jonathan Lynn – 2000

The Whole Nine Yards is fun comedy featuring Matthew Perry‘s finest big screen performance (it’s really his film). Bruce Willis plays the tough guy (and he plays it a little too straight) but he seems to be having fun sparring with Perry.

The supporting cast is also game – with Amanda Peet, Michael Clarke Duncan, Natasha Henstridge and Kevin Pollak all doing good work. You get the feeling that everyone had a good time making this one. 

The Whole Nine Yards is no classic – but there’s plenty of enjoyment to be had and it certainly has enough to offer for repeated viewings.
