12 Movies Friends Stars Want You To Forget

The One With Bruce Willis... Again.

Teaming up with fellow Friends cast member Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry adds an extra yard in this sequel to the hit 2004 comedy.

Unfortunately, they forgot to bring the funny, and this obligatory money-grabbing sequel runs everything which previously worked down into the ground in a series of lazy jokes and dull plot points. Bruce Willis's Jimmy is unceremoniously dragged out of retirement, and with him, Perry's fast-talking Oz.

In spite of a few cheap laughs here and there, The Whole Ten Yards fails to live up to its not-exactly-a-classic-itself predecessor, sinking this burgeoning comedy franchise - and adding another nail in the coffin to Perry's wannabe film career. Although, let's be honest, the only reason this film is on the list at all is because we couldn't justify putting Perry's truly horrible Fallout: New Vegas performance in on a list of movies. Could it have been any worse?
