 Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski, a retired hit man played by Bruce Willis, is living peacefully in a beachfront bungalow in Mexico after evading the Gogolak gang and escaping from the Feds by faking his own death with the help of falsified dental records supplied by onetime neighbor and friend Nicholas “Oz” Oseransky, D.D.S. (Matthew Perry). The end of The Whole Nine Years explained how Jimmy was able to escape to his Baja hideaway.
In this film The Whole Ten Yards, Jimmy has traded his shotgun for a dust buster and uses the power of his natural intensity for domestic pursuits like cleaning, decorating, and cooking rather than a life of crime. His wife Jill (Amanda Peet) is still trying to pull of a clean hit without any success. She is an idealistic wannabe assassin and dreams of the good old days when Jimmy was a wild man.
Without notice, Oz shows up at the Tudeskis’ doorstep needing help. Breathless and desparate, Oz begs the couple to help rescue his wife, Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge), who has been kidnapped by the Gogolaks.
Jimmy, happy in his retirement, is not interested in the job but, when newly paroled mob boss Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak) and his crew are found following Oz, Jimmy, Oz, and Jill are forced to go the whole nine yards, and then some. All that Lazlo has been thinking about in jail is getting even with Jimmy for killing his favorite son, Yanni, and revenge against Oz for helping Jimmy get away with it.
To save Cynthia, teach Lazlo a lesson and keep one step ahead of the mounting mayhem in this sequel to the 2000 comedy The Whole Nine Yards, Jimmy, Oz, and Jill have to go The Whole Ten Yards.
