The Whole Ten Yards


A sequel to The Whole Nine Yards, all the main characters return for their next adventure.  The Whole Ten Yards remains a crime comedy however, it drops a few notch in the quality department.  Janni's father Laszlo is freed from jail and learns that his son was killed by Jimmy and Oz, he then seeks for revenge.  Unfortunately, Laszlo is also the comedic relief of the film, with unusual quirks however they don't work well.  The film needed a serious villain but instead gave us a joke.  Half the film is spent with Jimmy acting oddly and out of his character, which is completely different to the cool and composed person we saw in the previous film.  All the humor in The Whole Ten Yards is inferior and lazy, when you have to resort to fart jokes, you know that the writer ran out of ideas.  The pacing of the film is horrible and you don't care what happens to the characters early on.  Overall, The Whole Ten Yards is a poor film and a poor sequel.
