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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

[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. Go to Full Review

Finn G Apr 28, 2019 What a horrible movie on display here. The plot was awful, the acting was awful, the messages were awful, the script was awful, everything in this soul crushing viewing experience was awful. How could all these great actors and director Barry Sonnenfeld agree to make this? One of the worst movies ever made. Overall rating: 0. See more
Jan 1, 2019 I thought it was cute! A film the whole family can see. Plus it's funny! Especially for animal lovers the cat is beautiful and happens to be a Norwegian Forest Cat. It really is a cute film. See more
