“After the fun time I had watching The Whole Nine Yards, I was looking forward to seeing The Whole Ten Yards. But I watched it last night and I was pretty much disappointed with where they took the story. It just seemed like they took the characters and turned them into something completely different. For me, Iu0026#39;m such a Bruce Willis fan, so when I saw him growing and acting like a bull while he was drunk in one scene, I didnu0026#39;t laugh, I actually wanted to cry for him, it was pretty pathetic what they did to this cool, smooth, charismatic hit man that we knew and loved in the first film. The script and story was just up to par like the first film was, in fact, I wouldu0026#39;ve appreciated it if they just left The Whole Nine Yards alone if they really felt like this one had a chance for a great comedy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJimmy has changed from this tough guy hit man to a Martha Stuart and Jill is not happy with it. Oz and Cynthia are in a quiet life in hiding from the gangsters. Lazlo is out of prison and wants revenge, so he u0026quot;kidnapsu0026quot; Cynthia and now Jimmy, Jill, and Oz get together to save her only to find out there are more twists and turns than they expected. But Jimmy has to go deep back into his roots of being the tough guy, not Mr. Clean.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow donu0026#39;t get me wrong, The Whole Ten Yards has a few laughs here and there, but for the most part I just actually felt bad for Bruce Willis with the silly attempt to be a soft like Martha Stuart type of guy, heu0026#39;s just such a great tough guy, itu0026#39;s hard to see him as anything else. Matthew Perry wasnu0026#39;t as fun as he was in the first movie and neither was Amanda, it just seems like everyone lost their magic and chemistry with each other in this film. I really wish that I loved this film, but Iu0026#39;m having a hard time, Iu0026#39;m sorry.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e4/10”
