Director Jonathan Lynn keeps a loose rein on the nuttiness but never lets it get out of bounds and maintains the film's comic buoyancy throughout.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Fresh
A subtle but unmistakable aura of jolliness sneaks from the screen during The Whole Nine Yards.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
It's so plot heavy it never finds its nimble comic rhythm.
Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz
Rotten
The movie relies far too much on killing off characters to tie up loose ends.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
