What we get is a film that is close in story to Fellini's film, but which needed more time for its actresses and better music to make it all worthwhile.

Day-Lewis, over-egging the angst as well as the Eye-talian accent, is charmless and insufferable. But the person you really want to slap is Marshall, whose brash directing style simply doesn't suit Nine's more whimsical charms.

It has a lot to gnaw on, but it's worth gnawing on.

It's an over-the-top, eye-popping musical that doesn't completely satisfy, especially compared to it's original source classic.

It's a movie about a musical about a movie about a man's inner life -- surely we can eliminate some of the middle men.

A painfully formulaic message, trite dialogue, and a strangely episodic narrative structure that renders the whole thing exhausting.

Nine should have been called 4Â 1/2 because it doesn't come close to the work of the master who inspired it.

Largely, the numbers just sit on top of the dramatic action, adding little to our understanding of the characters and seldom contributing to the advancement of the story.

The film suffers from the simple fact that its songs aren't memorable.

There's a lot of high-powered star wattage in Nine, but it never generates much heat.

Nine is, if not a grand work, terrifically tasty eye and ear candy. Two numbers -- from somewhat unexpected quarters -- are worth the price of admission alone.
