Nine falls short

By Michael Offeros​ky on January 14, 2010

Nine wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either and it definitely pales in comparison to Fellini’s 8 1/2 heavy on melodrama and not nearly as whimsical or magical as it could have been. Only two memorable songs in the bunch. Daniel Day Lewis is great as Guido but it’s not one of his best roles. Overly produced musical numbers which have the look and feel of a music video are clumsily fit into the movie and sometimes jar the audience out of the story. Fergie gets the best number and is fun as the prostitute on the beach.
