Wow how can so many talented people decide to be part of such a terrible film. Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Garner, and Barry Sonnenfeld must have got a big pay check. F

My kid literally complained about being bored and asked if we could leave before the movie was half way finished.

Every so often it seems like Hollywood feels the need to write the same tired, cliche filled, human-turned-animal movie. I can go all the way back to 1980 with these garbage movies, back when Chevy Chase was playing a reincarnated dog in "Oh Heavenly Dog". 36 years later and they're still just as terrible as they always are. Completely devoid of any redeeming qualities, there is zero reason to spend any money on this film. It might not even be worth watching when it inevitably shows up on a commercial cable channel.

(sarcasm) What Nine Lives is trying to do is live its nine lives as clichés everyone have seen before. Kids can easily see this and love it because they're just kids. They'll learn to know the movie's flaws once they grow up. In short, Nine Lives goes straight to the litter box. Expand

I kinda wanted to see this movie but like in 5 days I just thought it was just a washed down unoriginal cliche movie for money with poor acting. And I was correct!

This was written in the nineties known as "Look Who's Talking Meow".It was going to have Mr. Spacey as the lead roll, but decided to a little film known as Se7en. I Guess he found this script 20 years later?

A total bore, Nine Lives is downright awful, and is a cliche filled, unoriginal mess that left the youngest kids in the theater wishing they had never entered in the first place.

Why Kevin...Just Why? This is beneath you. It's one thing for a big name actor to help out an indie film to get traction by having a big name attached. But this garbage? This? WHY KEVIN WHY!?!?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. : Oh my, this film sucks so much!! It was astoundingly awful!!! I honestly thought the trailer was a joke, I could not believe this was the real movie. It’s 2016 guys, no one wants to see a film where Kevin Spacey plays a cat. I am actually going to spoil the plot of this one, that’s how much I disliked it and don’t want people to go and see it. The film is awful with Kevin Spacey playing a ‘Richard Branson’ type of business man, who doesn’t spend much time with his family and as a result gets turned into a cat by Christopher Walken. He is an awful villain who is completely one dimensional. The effects are amazingly rubbish, that it looks like it was made in the 90’s, the cat noises were so annoying that I didn’t want to see my own cats when I got home because I was so sick of the mewing. The writing is awful including one of the characters having a suicide sub plot, yes I am not joking, there is a suicide sub plot at the end of the movie, this is a kid’s film? Isn’t it? The comedy is not funny and any time that an audience member laughed I felt like strangling them because it is not funny, it’s not big, it’s not clever and you are just encouraging it!!! It was so unpleasant an experience. It was only on for 1hr 20mins but felt more like 2hrs. This deserves a 7% on rotten tomatoes, the critics can’t even be bothered to give it a 1 out of 10. AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS, IT IS NOT FUNNY. Expand

Perhaps one of the worst thing I've ever seen and perhaps the worst movie this year, Nine Lives is the textbook example of everything going wrong in a single movie. Nothing was funny, but everything was predictable in a horrendous scriptPerhaps one of the worst thing I've ever seen and perhaps the worst movie this year, Nine Lives is the textbook example of everything going wrong in a single movie. Nothing was funny, but everything was predictable in a horrendous script written by FIVE people! That is basically the most unprecedented achievement of atrocity of all time!
To add to this 90 minute garbage dump, the characters only existed as cut-outs and pawns in a movie about business written as if it must be a kids film. A pet-peeve of mine also shows its ugliness in this movie too: narration. While there are examples of narration done right, these are few and far between, and this movie is no exception. Furthermore, this project seems like an idea that someone wrote up to get the guiness world record for fastest scriptwriting time.
Just ignore this film and see Pete's Dragon. For all I know, Nine lives is the epitome of manipulation, cliches, and shoddiness, leaving me with no other choice but to grant it a seal of disavowal and condemn it to the ballot of the Golden Raspberry Awards.

Absolutely terrible. Kevin Spacey clearly was collecting a paycheck here. Everything about this movie wrong. This is also suppose to be a kids movie and there is a scene that involves suicide.

I admit I am nowhere near a rabid fan of film. In fact part of me completely despises this film. In truth, this film is actually an underrated gem. Everything about the movie is fine. Honestly my only gripe with the film is the product placement, which is seriously toned down in the film. Oh and the CGI. The CGI looks like something that crawled straight out of uncanny valley.

Why this film even exists is personally beyond me. Not only a truly awful film in all aspects but a complete waste of a talented cast, which makes it (in my opinion) the worst film of 2016. 100% AVOID "NINE LIVES".

But I was not yet awared that it was one of the worst decision I made by then. Don't think the whole movie will be as funny as the funny cat videos that are shown in the beginning of the movie. Probably, those videos will be the only things that you laugh at in the whole movie. The ultimate question about the movie that needs to be asked is: "What are Spacey and Walken aiming to do by taking part in this film?" Expand
