Yes, Nine Lives is dumb. Yes, it’s for very young kids. Yes, Lil Bub has a cameo. And yes, I giggled anyway. - 30
TheWrap
In addition to listless direction from Sonnenfeld, and an overall feeling of cheapness and carelessness, Nine Lives also suffers from incoherence. - 25
IndieWire
Cats may have nine lives, but you only get one, and it’s too precious to waste on this drivel. - 25
The A.V. Club
Boasting no less than five credited screenwriters, the film is like an exquisite-corpse exercise in kiddie-movie plotting. - 20
Variety
Nine Lives is a lot like a cat: It occasionally bestirs itself, and it would like to be stroked with love, but mostly it just sits there. It’s a pet farce so flat it makes you long for the Lubitsch touch of the “Alvin” comedies. - 16
Entertainment Weekly
Watching these videos of actual cats, all of whom have racked up countless views on YouTube, just serves to underscore how unfunny and neutered Nine Lives actually is. - 10
The Hollywood Reporter
This is a family movie about cats? Please, somebody tell the three separate teams of screenwriters credited with penning this thing. - 10
The New York Times
The film, derivative (see “The Shaggy Dog” of 2006) and devoid of wit, is about that tiredest of kid-movie clichés, the parent who is too busy for his children and must be taught a lesson.
