Lanwench Review of The Whole Nine Yards

The Whole Nine Yards (2000)

Horribly miscast, predictable and implausible even for fluff

[21 January 2001]

Where precisely does Rosanna Arquette's freakish ersatz French-Canadian accent spring from? A normally good actress is wasted here. Perry is amusing, but plays the same character he does on "Friends", with the exception that he ends up with the gorgeous blonde here. Willis is all right, but this is a walk-through for him. This movie was clearly written by a committee of producers. I knew it would be formulaic and silly, but it falls short of the mark for even a housebound snow-day movie. Yeesh!
