Andrew Pelechaty Movies with cute animals are a guaranteed hit for families, as 'Nine Lives/Mr Fuzzypants' proves.Kevin Spacey - now a shadow of his former greatness after being dumped from "House of Cards" - plays businessman Tom Brand. Like most ruthless businessmen, Tom ignores his wife Lara (Jennifer Garner - a world away from her earlier action roles) daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman) and adult son David (Robbie Amell) to build the city's biggest skyscraper. Tom buys Rebecca a cat for her birthday and - through the wonders of movie magic - is transported into the cat's body after an accident, while his real body is in a coma.CGI-enhanced hijinks ensue as Tom tries to adjust to being Mr. Fuzzypants and win his family back so he can return to his body. It's silly stuff, but Mr. Fuzzypants is the adorable star and the only reason to watch this. Tom is represented with a Garfield-style internal voice and the only human who can understand him is cat whisperer Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken), so we're spared any silly taking-animal nonsense."Nine Lives" is an inoffensive family film, amusing without being that funny, and driven by the adorable cat.

Neil Welch Business tycoon Tom Brand is preoccupied with the imminent opening of his new skyscraper. But then, there's always some aspect of his business which occupies his every waking moment. That's why his first marriage failed (he is distanced from son David, who works for him), and his second is going the same way although he is, at least, prevailed upon to buy a cat for daughter Rebecca's birthday. Cat salesman Purrkins, however, is able to work a magical tweak to put Tom into the body of Mr Fuzzypants, there to remain until he learns his lesson or forever, whichever comes first. Factor the nefarious plans of executive Ian to take over the company in Tom's absence, and there are real problems ahead for Tom. Er, Mr Fuzzypants. Oh, whatever.This film, pitched at kids, is quite entertaining, but contains no surprises whatsoever for anyone who has watched this sort of film before. The story works well enough, but the script runs along tramlines. That said, the cat special effects are quite good (and the real life cats will be appealing to feliphiles), there are some decent jokes along the way, Christopher Walken as Purrkins is superb (playing straightfaced but with a twinkle in his eye) and young Malina Weissman as Rebecca is a delight. She is also the spitting image of Jennifer Warner, who plays her mother.Kevin Spacey disappoints: his reading of Mr Fuzzypants' lines could often have been improved upon (sez I, from the lofty heights of the Best Actor Oscar I haven't got).Purrkins joins a long string of god-machinery characters in juvenile fiction - Mary Poppins, Elliot in Pete's Dragon, Nanny McPhee - who spring from nowhere in order to provide magical resolutions for kids' problems. This is not a bad thing in a morality tale: children deserve magical solutions to problems. Because - note the key words from two paragraphs ago - "Pitched At Kids."

invisibleunicornninja Looking back at this movie, I realize that almost everything that I found funny about this movie isn't what it wanted me to find funny. While I was watching it, I was somehow under the impression that the bad cat CG and the bad child acting and the lack of logic was intentionally funny. Now that I'm thinking about it and looking back at this movie, it probably wasn't. This movie isn't that good if you're looking for a decent movie to watch, but if you're looking for a "so bad that its good" movie, then this movie is perfect. Its the perfect blend of nonsense and "actors" who couldn't care less that they're in a movie. I had a lot of fun watching this movie, but honestly its pretty bad.
