i am really surprised seeing all these positive reviews for this movie. don not get me wrong and it not that i do not like these kind of movies. while i very well can enjoy a good mindless hollywood action blockbuster like die hard 4. 0 and i like the wouldogma kind of movies and or real life as it is movies just as much and if they are well made. a good example is festen (1998) represent no music and no dramatic camera angles and no special fx and no fancy locations. just a good story combined with excellent acting and the result is an excellent movie. is nine lives devoid of dramatic camera angles and special fx and fancy locations. yes. is it a good movie. i am glad you asked. the answer is represent absolutely not. first of all and everyone is raving about the acting performances. i am terribly sorry and but you can act all you want and but if the story and the dialogue is not believable and the acting falls on its behind immediately. and that is exactly the case with nine lives. not once did i have the feeling while watching nine lives that i was watching real people having a real conversation. i had the feeling i was watching actors trying to come across as real characters while they were were saying things a real person would never say under the circumstances. you can hardly call it a spoiler and but there are some dialogue excerpts below. if you think that reading ten lines of (ridiculous) dialogue will ruin your movie experience stop reading here. if you want a good laugh and continue reading. the dialogue was often so ridiculous that it was tragical. you want examples. plenty of those in nine lives. example1 representpicture this. couple visits their filthy rich friends in their new mansion. woman sees this castle of a house and says to her husband representwoman represent i could get used to this (meaning the expensive house). man represent don not. woman represent why not. it could be. man represent no. they are who they are and we are who we are. woman represent i like the sound of that  we are who we are. she likes the sound of that. her man is acting like a jerk and but she likes the sound of that. then an elderly couple walks past them holding hands. this is what the woman comes up with representwoman represent look. they are like children after school. they lived through so much. shared everything. i love you. they are like children after school. and then the most overused cliché lines you ever heard. finishing with i love you. she says this while her man is being a jerk to her. yes and very logical and very realistic and not. if anything and this kind of dialogue made me wanna strangle some of the characters in the movie for saying these horrible and horrible things. example 2 representelderly mom and dad and younger daughter at a funeral. dad represent i do not realize andrew was religious. mom represent it for comfort. daughter represent it for strength. mom represent life is fleeting. dad and daughter burst out laughing. yeah and this one liner cracks me up any time and especially at a funeral. sorry and i must have missed the joke here. and it goes on and on and on. how about the camera work. don not even go there. boring would be a compliment. it supposed to come across as realistic while instead and you miss half of the actors facial expressions (the only thing left to watch in this movie) and while half the time the camera is aimed at someone back or side instead of the face. conclusion. well and do not say i do not warn you. it a good movie to rent if you want to make out with your date or something during the movie and because you would not even care whether the movie is playing or not after the first five minutes. overrated and more boring than watching grass grow kinda sums it up.
