SOMETHING SPECIAL…

The idea of watching all those famous actors and actresses seemed to be an attractive idea. However it was a huge disappointment. What I am talking about is the movie "The Whole Ten Yards". The film was actually suicide for the players Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet and Nathasha Henstridge. Well, it was also suicide for the movie itself. What I really wonder is whether those players read the script or not.
I mean, it's very obvious that there is a huge gap in the story in the second film. I still cannot believe they accepted roles in this movie. In the future, it would be pleasant for me to remember "The Whole Nine Yards" and that this second movie had never been released. But now, the uniqueness of the first film is lost.
The second movie was full of "extremely ordinary" physical gags. Matthew Perry was the biggest victim of all those physical gags where he seemed to be a complete idiot. It was extremely pathetic to see him hit doors, walls, and anywhere that you can imagine. What was silly in those scenes was, although he sees the obstacles, he keeps hitting them. It was like: "Although it hurts, keep hitting Matthew. We have to make the audience laugh!" His acting and the character he played was like his role in the famous TV show "Friends". Oo look!!! It's Chandler! Oh no…He's stupid again".
Bruce Willis? No matter how hard he tried to rescue the movie, he could not at the end. In the first half of the movie, you cannot realize what's going on. No sense of humor, no sense of screenplay…It was horrible. I actually wanted to run fast and hit the wide screen myself. In the second half, I decided to live because there were scenes where I laughed. But still, since the story goes nowhere, I kept getting angry at George Gallo (screenplay) and Mitchell Kapner (story). Moreover, the director was a new one thus, I believe, this was another reason for the failure of the movie. I cannot forget the silliest argument between the characters about a trunk release. It was without purpose to focus on this stupid dialogue since there was no correlation between it and the movie.
I know that it is too late for me, but you all…save yourselves. :-)))
