Rated PG-13 for sexual content, some violence and language
Directed by Howard Deutch (Family Affair, Grumpier Old Men, Some Kind of Wonderful, Pretty in Pink)
Starring Bruce Willis, Mathew Perry, Amanda Peet, and Kevin Pollak
Go ahead and skip this sequel to “The Whole Nine Yards.” Neither Bruce Willis, Mathew Perry, Amanda Peet, Natasha Henstridge, or even the heavily made up Kevin Pollak could save this bad script. This film is an insult to your intelligence.
If you want to see a “Three’s Company” episode, with the occasional antics of the Three Stooges, and the bad guys out of an Ernest film . . . then this is your film.
SHOULD KIDS SEE IT?
Nope. Sure, Amanda Peet actually refrains from showing her breasts in a film, but she sure got close. And the jokes are across the line . . . not to mention not funny.
Leave it on the shelf and go pick up Ernest Goes to Jail. Yeah, seriously. It’s a better film!
