FUNNY GOOFY MOVIE

The sequel to "The Whole Nine Yards" was defiantly just as funny if not funnier then the original. If you asked yourself how could they make a sequel with the way it ended in the first one, then your not the only one. But they simply picked up where they left off. Matthew Perry as "Oz" is now rich (from the money he got in the first movie) and with Bruce Willis's characters Jimmy the Tulip ex-wife. And Jimmy the Tulip is with Oz's former secretary and they live in hiding somewhere in Mexico. The father of a hitman that Jimmy killed gets out of jail and wants revenge on him, but goes after Oz first because he knows where Jimmy is. Little does he know that Jimmy is always a step ahead of the game and sets up a plan for Oz' wife to get captured. Oz runs to Jimmy for help instead of the police and then the movie just rolls on like the first one, where you never know who is on whose side.

Bruce Willis was absolutely Hilarious. Dramatic actors just have they own type of comedic style thats really amazing to watch. Matthew Perry was ofcourse funny too, but the chandler bing type of character that runs into things all the time gets a little repetitive. Its funny most of the time, but sometimes its just boring how much spasmatic he can get. The big suprise comedy in this film was from Frank Collison who played the main mobster. His unknown accent and the way he controlled his men was so funny I was crying.

The storyline kept you guessing the whole movie, but you just gotta sit and let the film ride. The reason some may not like it is because it was a much goofier comedy then the first one. The spontaneous humor was brillant and I'd say this film would be more liked by people who liked films such as dumb and dumber, zoolander, and ofcourse the whole nine yards.
