i be really surprised see all these positive review for this movie . don not get me wrong and it not that i do not like these kind of movie . while i very well can enjoy a good mindless hollywood action blockbuster like die hard 4 . 0 and i like the wouldogma kind of movie and or real life a it be movie just as much and if they be well make . a good example be festen ( 1998 ) represent no music and no dramatic camera angle and no special fx and no fancy location . just a good story combine with excellent acting and the result be an excellent movie . be nine life devoid of dramatic camera angle and special fx and fancy location . yes . be it a good movie . i be glad you ask . the answer be represent absolutely not . first of all and everyone be rave about the acting performance . i be terribly sorry and but you can act all you want and but if the story and the dialogue be not believable and the act fall on it behind immediately . and that be exactly the case with nine life . not once do i have the feeling while watch nine live that i be watch real people have a real conversation . i have the feeling i be watch actor try to come across a real character while they be be say thing a real person would never say under the circumstance . you can hardly call it a spoiler and but there be some dialogue excerpt below . if you think that read ten line of ( ridiculous ) dialogue will ruin your movie experience stop reading here . if you want a good laugh and continue reading . the dialogue be often so ridiculous that it be tragical . you want example . plenty of those in nine life . example1 representpicture this . couple visit their filthy rich friend in their new mansion . woman see this castle of a house and say to her husband representwoman represent i could get use to this ( mean the expensive house ) . man represent don not . woman represent why not . it could be . man represent no . they be who they be and we be who we be . woman represent i like the sound of that we be who we be . she like the sound of that . her man be act like a jerk and but she like the sound of that . then an elderly couple walk past them hold hand . this be what the woman come up with representwoman represent look . they be like child after school . they live through so much . share everything . i love you . they be like child after school . and then the most overused cliché line you ever heard . finish with i love you . she say this while her man be be a jerk to her . yes and very logical and very realistic and not . if anything and this kind of dialogue make me wan na strangle some of the character in the movie for say these horrible and horrible thing . example 2 representelderly mom and dad and young daughter at a funeral . dad represent i do not realize andrew be religious . mom represent it for comfort . daughter represent it for strength . mom represent life be fleet . dad and daughter burst out laugh . yeah and this one liner crack me up any time and especially at a funeral . sorry and i must have miss the joke here . and it go on and on and on . how about the camera work . don not even go there . boring would be a compliment . it suppose to come across a realistic while instead and you miss half of the actor facial expression ( the only thing leave to watch in this movie ) and while half the time the camera be aim 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 be play or not after the first five minute . overrate and more boring than watch grass grow kinda sum it up .
