What happens

The Whole Ten Yards is a 2004 American crime comedy film directed by Howard Deutch and starring Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, Kevin Pollak and Natasha Henstridge. It is a sequel to the 2000 film The Whole Nine Yards. It was based on characters created by Mitchell Kapner, who was the writer of the first film. Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky, years after helping Jimmy the Tulip retire as a hitman to lead a quiet new life, enlists his help in rescuing his pregnant wife Cynthia, who has been kidnapped by the Hungarian mob. So he and his wife Jill rush to their aid. The film was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on April 7, 2004, in the United States. Unlike the first film, which was rated R and was a commercial success despite receiving mixed reviews, The Whole Ten Yards received a PG-13 rating and was a critical and commercial failure, grossing $26.2 million against a $40 million budget.
