The Trailer

The Review

I’m not really into musical films but this one was kinda alright.

It wasn’t too Mary Poppins of sorts, but Nine was all about showmanship.

The plot was non-existent, but the songs, lights and dance was very entertaining and made up for it.

Anyway I’ve always have a thing for Judi Dench and Sofia Loren, who was in the ensemble cast, yes they’re both older women, but still sexy nonetheless.

It’s like as if I’m in a Broadway production, but much more grittier and dark.

The Good

• Excellent dialogues
• Impressive choreography

The Bad

• No plot
• Fergie was agonizing to watch
