Review of The Whole Nine Yards

SPOILER There are a number of good things about this movie, but it's not the writing, performances or anything else. First, it is a movie shot in Canada that is actually set in Canada. Second, it employed a number of up-and-coming Canadian actors who should be better known, Harland Williams in particular. I don't know who taught Rosanna Arquette the French Canadian accent, but either she was taught by someone who can't teach or doesn't know the accent, or she just couldn't do it properly. It has to be the single worst Quebecois accent in the history of motion pictures. Otherwise, the movie's not much better than a typical American sitcom. Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry played these roles better on Friends. The ending is pretty predictable, but, as a saving grace, Amanda Peet gets naked.
