'Are you on cloud 9?' that's' exactly what we'd be asking knowing how funny of a premise this is Burt Reynolds gathers a bunch of strippers to become volleyball players it's ludicrous yes but a dream is given to these girls and feeling more than just objects for guys to poke and laugh at I actually enjoyed the movie's attempt to show the other side of things, that these girls want to make money other than what they're used to and to work hard the soundtrack was very appealing as well fitting every scene involving the volleyball matches and getting into the spirit of the game it's smarter, brighter, funnier, and quite sexy but it has purpose to go with it all

Silly, pointless, and an indication of the depths to which Burt Reynolds' career has sunk. Avoid.

Burt Reynolds charisma and a bunch of fun cameos make this predictable low budget movie a decent watch.

I didn't expect much and I didn't get much, it's a mediocre Burt Reynolds comedy with a couple of other noteworthy names thrown in for good measure.

Mr. Dresen and his actors create an atmosphere of reckless vulnerability that(TM)s immediately compelling and artistically intriguing. We want to explore this relationship further.

When it comes to matters of the heart, we are never old or ugly, just helpless, and Cloud 9 lays that simple reality on the line.

Jam! Movies

As always, Dresen has turned his camera on ordinary people leading ordinary lives, but as the tiny details build into a complete, three-dimensional portrait, one is, finally, loath to leave their company.

A volleyball "comedy" that has just as many laughs as a gall bladder operation.

Fantastica Daily

A lame, formula sports comedy so tame and lazily executed that it doesn't even succeed on an exploitation level. Burt Reynolds deserves better, much better.
