Box Office Pete Hammond Nine is simply sensational and is indeed a worthy successor to his Best Picture winner, Chicago in every way. | 15 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Nine is just plain adrift in its own lack of necessity. | 10 | |
eye Weekly Jason Anderson By making a screen version of a Broadway musical adaptation of 8½, Chicago director Rob Marshall has mostly succeeded in making a bad Fellini movie. | 5 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Rob Marshall's flawed but frequently dazzling Nine is a hot-blooded musical fantasia full of song, dance, raging emotion and simmering sexuality. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Throw out the one or two decent musical numbers, and the result is a lame offering that comes up considerably short of its titular number in terms of its artistic score. | 7 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer It has a game, great-looking cast, led by the always worthwhile Daniel Day-Lewis, but Rob Marshall's Nine is chaotic and curiously distant. | 7 | |
