The Whole Ten Yards (2004) 6/10

Starring : Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, Kevin Pollak, Natasha Henstridge
Director : Howard Deutch
Running Time : 95 mins

Nicholas Oseransky (Perry) is forced to get back in touch with retired hitman Jimmy Tudeski (Willis) when his wife Cynthia (Henstridge) is kidnapped by the Hungarian mob. To further complicate matters, Jimmy has an unusual connection with the head of the Hungarian mob, Lazlo Gogolak (Pollak), a connection he is reluctant to divulge.

Despite not being anywhere near as good as the original, this is still a passable gangster comedy. The acting is over the top, and Pollak has one of the most annoying accents ever, but this still has most of the elements that made The Whole Nine Yards watchable, it just feels old and unoriginal in this new setting.
