has been unsuccessful in making mobster-comedy movie sequels. Oz tracks down Jimmy and convinces his old pal to give up cooking and house cleaning and help him in a rescue attempt. Meanwhile Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky's (Matthew Perry) finds that goons have kidnapped his wife, Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge), and that they are led by Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak), the father of the mob boss (also played by Pollak in the original), who was eliminated in the original film. Both are having problems in their marriage due to (a) Jimmy's erectile dysfunction, (b) Jill's inability to fulfill her lifelong ambition to become a contract killer and (c) Jimmy's transformation into a male-like Martha Sterwart. Bruce Willis returns as Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski, who's now living in obscurity with his wife, Jill (Amanda Peet). The Whole Ten Yards assumes that the viewer has some familiarity with the first movie. Every moment in this movie, begs for a single laugh, and it's as if the actors-some who were all so promising in the original film, The Whole Nine Yards (2000)-were promised big paychecks if they were able to tag along with the film's script. You watch in complete disbelief as scenes appear on the screen and die. The Whole Ten Yards (2004) is a comedy dead zone.
