The Whole Ten Yards

Caught the coming attraction for this movie recently, and Good God it looks TERRIBLE !! Not that I'm a fan of the first one. But the preview actually got groans from the audience. And man, Bruce Willis looks looks so awful lately. The guy needs to gain back the weight he lost for "Tears of the Sun". Taking the pounds off added about a decade on him (IMO).

Agreed. This movie looks fairly awful based on the trailer.

I'm in agreement as well - looks pretty bad.

I loved the first one, and although the trailer for this wasn't very well done, i think it could be funny. Hopefully we see more Amanda Peet

I really enjoyed the first one. I actually thought it was one of the best comedies of the past few years. And Amanda Peet is so hot & very good in the first one.

However, I will not go to see the sequal b/c it is yet another pointless sequal that should not be made. I'll wait until a friend buys it & borrow it.

The end of the trailer is like showing us exactly what the cover of the dvd will be. BHS strikes again.

I have no clue what made them decide to do another one..... just another example of hollywood going overboard with sequals

The trailer really does look bad. Thats too bad, I really liked the first one. However, this might be worth a rental.

I agree, but honestly, how much more could we possibly see of her! Maybe we'll see more of Natasha as well. Seriously though, I enjoyed the first one but not enough to even consider giving this more than a view on HBO when it comes on there.

Was there a big demand for a sequel that I missed?

Looks bad, except for the wonderfully hippy Natasha Henstridge . She used to be just another model/actress but as she gets older, her womanly body has certainly improved.

This film was huge in the Czech Republic. Simply amazing. The box office numbers there were astonishing.

By the way, if I can sit through Legally Blonde 2, I should easily be able to sit through this no matter how bad it might be.

Looks quite awful. Which is a shame, since the first one was really quite good.

(sarcasm) It's terrific that they've brought Kevin Pollak back disguised as an old guy, though. Genius!

Please, the whole "Ten" yards? ... that doesn't even make any sense!

I guess they're hoping we will think it's at least 1 yard better than the first one!

Pointless.

Bruce Willis seemed like he sleep-walked through the first one. Was anybody clamoring for a sequel? Looks like the studio didn't learn anything from "Analyze That".

Loved the first one - I don't think it needs a sequel, but I'll reserve judgement on it until after I see it.
