Nine Lives is a Disney-like film that reminded me a bit of Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Since I review movies quite a bit, I pay attention to the critics. Since they were not kind to this film, I let it leave theaters. My 9-year-old daughter asked me to watch it with her tonight and I was amazed at how funny and well made it was. This is another reminder to not always trust the critics.
The cat they got to play in this film is great. He's very hairy which makes you want to hug him. Unfortunately, I could never have a cat that hairy because it sheds and makes my nose itch. But this cat does great on the screen. I had feared there wouldn't be enough cat stuff for my daughter after reading the premise of the film. I'm happy to say there is enough cat-on-screen time to satisfy the kids' curiosity.
