After a mobster agrees to cooperate with an FBI investigation in order to stay out of prison, he's relocated by the authorities to a life of suburban anonymity as part of a witness protection program. It's not long before a couple of his new neighbours figure out his true identity and come knocking to see if he'd be up for one more hit—suburban style.

The Whole Nine Yards Audience Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Dusan Petrovic I just love Natasha Henstridge ( Species ). She is the most beautiful blonde hair actress in Hollywood. In this movie Matthew Perry ( Oz ) is dentist from Cannada who is married for the wrong woman ( Arquette ). We all remembered her in Second Skin (2000) with Angus McFayden ( The Saw ), where he acted the mobster count-keeper who'd be-trailed his Boss ( Pitter Fonda )and tried to escape with his money. He'd changed his face by plastic operations, but his Boss sent "The elite" killers of the organization to find two face son of the jackal. Natasha Henstridge'd crossed over McFayden and killed him in the very end with her lesbian lover. This movie was " Outrageous". Thumbs up!
grantss Funny and entertaining mob-comedy.Montreal, Canada. A down-on-his luck dentist, "Oz" Oseransky (played by Matthew Perry), discovers that his new neighbour is Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski, former mob contract killer turned Police informant. The mob has put on price on the head of Tudeski (Bruce Willis). Egged on my his loathsome wife Oz sets off to Chicago to let the mob know where Tudeski is and, with a bit of luck, claim part of the reward...A movie which makes full use of Matthew Perry's prodigious comedic talents, especially for physical comedy. While Bruce Willis is solid in his role, Perry makes the movie. Very funny, and very Chandleresque. Plot is decent too, though is really just a vehicle for the comedy. Can be silly at times though, but generally doesn't get too out of hand or wander too far from the main focus. Good support from Amanda Peet (especially), Natasha Henstridge, Michael Clarke Duncan and Kevin Pollak. Roseanna Arquette is very irritating as Oz's wife, but maybe that was the idea...
zombiefan89 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.
kenjha A hit-man for the mob moves in next door to a struggling dentist, leading to hilarity...or at least a few chuckles. The cast seems to be having a good time. Willis is well suited to the role of the cool but ruthless hit-man. As the cowardly dentist, Perry delivers the wise cracks as if he were still playing Chandler on "Friends," but he does have some funny moments. Henstridge is pretty but cold as Willis's wife while Peet is sexy and funny as an aspiring hit woman. Sporting a European accent, Arquette is amusing as Perry's nagging wife. Clarke is smooth as a hulking henchman. The script doesn't really mine the material for all the potential laughs but it's entertaining.
