This was a movie for children. Family friendly, meaning no foul language, no tittie shots, no genital groping, no dismemberment, no pets getting slaughtered.
Is this a great film? No, not at all. It is cute, slightly above average, a 6. Well made, with a strong cast who put in decent performances (ain’t no Oscar bait here).
This film is not made for hipsters. There is none of the mocking irony now de rigueur in our society, to belittle any artistic endeavor.
There is also a cat, however, and I realize there are males who truly hate and despise felines. Cats are not subordinate, let alone subservient underlings, and that often sticks in the craw of certain menfolk.
Do I recommend Nine Lives? More or less. For cat fans first, family viewing second. How many feature films are out there? 300,000? Plenty of alternatives.
Would I watch again? Never. Are there 3s, 4s, 5s I enjoy more? Yes!
Note - I like cats, though they are akin to being on a permanent bad date.
