It is a mystery, though, why Barry Sonnenfeld (director of The Addams Family and Men In Black) and his cast were drawn to such skittish material.

Like a bargain-basement version of Freaky Friday crossed with a cat meme, the comedy here is inert, despite the efforts of a psychotically chipper musical score.

You watch it and just wonder how in the world did this get made? I want to see the documentary about the making of Nine Lives.

[Nine Lives] is a children's movie made by people who not only don't understand children, but may actively hate children. It is unfunny and condescending, a collective collection of paychecks.

Every once in a while, a movie comes along that makes you scratch your head and ask yourself, "What were they thinking?" Nine Lives is one of those movies.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I guess you have to be a cat-lover, or a father, or have had someone you love in a coma to appreciate this movie. I definitely love this movie, and I think you should disregard the low ratings, and check it out! It's a clean family movie, too.

It was cute and sentimental but it was just all over the place. Plus, the ending didn’t really make sense. At first I thought the cat had to die in order to have the guy wake up but then the cat showed back up at the end (thank god) but it doesn’t make sense..?

the film "Nine Lives" is my favorite American film. A touching plot that makes you cry. An incredibly sad, but very instructive story about the fact that a child will not be replaced by any gifts, except for those that are given from the bottom of the heart and those that remind of the parents. The script of the film unfolds very unexpectedly and unexpectedly. The whole film is kept intriguing, which makes it even more interesting. This film will be relevant for many years to come,and will always remain just as instructive. I tried not to write spoilers. I highly recommend this film to watch, after it your life will change dramatically and you will begin to appreciate everythingthat you have, because in one day you can lose everything
