The more frenzied the action gets, the duller the film becomes.

It's like one of those late Blake Edwards comedies in which very little is working, but you have to admire the attempt at some physical humor.

Another of those 'zany' romantic comedies starring a cheeseball star from a sitcom series.

The Whole Nine Yards a bright crowd-pleaser with a clever script.

The picture also allows its female leads to show their considerable stuff.

It's laugh-out-loud, side-splitting funny.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

The movie relies far too much on killing off characters to tie up loose ends.

Peter Howell Toronto Star (Top Critic)

Almost everybody wants Matthew Perry dead in The Whole Nine Yards. This would be a good thing if it were to stop him from making more movies.

Sean Means Film.com (Top Critic)

It produces some laughs.

Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com (Top Critic)

Judging from the dull light that pervades every scene, The Whole Nine Yards wasn't just all shot in the same place, it was all shot on the same day.

The Whole Nine Yards ends up on the undernourished side.

Some very funny moments, but not for kids.

There are a number of genuinely clever twists and ideas that it's unfortunate that someone decided to muck it up with cheap slapstick.

Comes as close as a movie can to being a successful comedy without making it.

Features some of the best physical comedy in years, courtesy of Matthew Perry.

Perry saves the day with his inspired fish-out-of-water silliness.

Wade Major Boxoffice Magazine

A serviceable but ultimately forgettable crime comedy.

Jeff Vice Deseret News, Salt Lake City

It starts much too slowly, and there are some unfortunate R-rated tendencies that seem excessive, in spite of the already dark material.

I would crawl the whole nine yards over broken glass to get away from ever having to see this picture again.

Watching 'The Whole Nine Yards' and waiting to laugh is almost as futile as licking a popsicle stick in the hope it may eventually start to taste sweet.

Though the comedy often goes flat, Peet busts loose in a terrific comic performance, while the icily beautiful Henstridge adds class.
