Résumés(1)
Tom Brand est un milliardaire qui a consacré sa vie à son travail et à sa réussite. Sa carrière trépidante l'a éloigné de sa femme Lara et de son adorable fille Rebecca. Pour l'anniversaire de cette dernière, Tom n'a d'autre choix que de lui offrir ce qu'il déteste par-dessus tout : un chat. En route pour la fête de Rebecca, Tom est victime d'un terrible accident et se retrouve mystérieusement coincé dans le corps du chat. Répondant désormais au doux nom de Monsieur Fuzzypants, il est adopté par sa propre famille qui peine à maîtriser ce chat maladroit et peu obéissant... Tom va devoir tant bien que mal se faire à sa nouvelle condition tout en portant un nouveau regard sur son entourage. Il devra comprendre pourquoi il s'est retrouvé dans cette situation et tout mettre en œuvre pour reconquérir son apparence humaine. (EuropaCorp Diffusion)

The film probably has a deservedly low rating for the fact that you basically already know what this is going to be about because of the title. Once Christopher Walken appears in a role similar to his character in the movie Click, you already know what to expect. It's clichéd, it's straightforward, but I still had a good time, and Kevin Spacey really got me even just with his voice. Plus, Jennifer Garner...

What can I say, the movie is really silly, but that cat is so beautiful that it's almost a shame being upset because of a dumb screenplay. Surely, Barry Sonnenfeld is no newbie; he knows how to make a family movie. And I have to admit, he succeeded. Don’t go looking for any cinematic qualities, but cat-lovers will surely be satisfied. Christopher Walken is one of them. It is just a pity that Kevin Spacey got to play such an annoying character. After the absurdity of #metoo, it doesn’t add to his reputation.

Nine Lives is a quirky film that presents the viewer with one of the most tactless themes ever – the main, severely egotistical character undergoes a predictable plot twist after a sudden intervention from "above" – while also offering an at times dodgy digital cat. So why three stars? Because Barry Sonnenfeld's film is so cringe-worthy in places that it's actually quite funny – but it's certainly not repeat viewing material. Anyway, if you want to see a cat indulging in ninja jumps and skydiving without a parachute is welcome to the screen.

Considering that this is a family film, which is primarily aimed at children, I was not that excited by it. I watched it mainly for the enticing cast. A rather foolish script and the digital cat gave me the creeps at times. The whole thing felt a bit cold and calculated, yet I had a good time at times. (50%)
