An offer you shouldn't refuse: It's laugh-out-loud, side-splitting funny.

A funny, frenetic and surprising comedy.

Matthew Perry steal the show and Bruce Willis delliver the goods as usual in this very fun, and funny, comedy that was way too underrated in its day. Still a gem, and still a lot of fun. Check it out.

For quite of few of The Whole Nine Yards, it appears that the most clever thing in the movie is going to be the opening credits, monstrous close-ups of the morning toothbrushing routine.

Runs out of good ideas long before it's over, falling below "Prizzi's Honor" and "The Freshman" in the dubious genre of contract-killer comedies.

You're entitled to ask for more than that in a comedy, but these days you're often obliged to settle for a lot less.

Bruce Willis's marvelous performance as a contract killer only makes everything else about this comedy seem more pathetic.

A witless, listless muck-up that sends you reeling from the theater with thoughts of suicide instead of a chipper grin.

It is a great movie that I have now watched several times. I would recommend this movie to any of my friends any time. It will keep you watching with a twist aery corner.

Very hilarious movie with a lot crime in it. A regular everyday guy who is a scardy cluts moves into his new big house. It just so happens that he lives next door to a hit man who he tries to befriend.

Really cool and unbelievably funny movie! Bruce Willis with an amazing performance, Matthew Perry with one of the best of his career and such a nice plot! What makes it so good: It's just different to other gangster comedies.
