Nine Lives movie quotes tell the story of a busy father who is put inside the body of a cat in order to prove that he loves his family. The comedy movie was written by Gwyn Lurie, Matt R. Allen, Caleb Wilson, Daniel Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, Nine Lives opened in theaters on August 5, 2016.
In Nine Lives, Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is husband to Lara (Jennifer Garner) and father to David (Robbie Amell) and Rebecca (Malina Weissman). But most of all, Tom is a business tycoon and head of Firebrand. He often puts business before family, including when he misses daughter Rebecca's birthday party. To fulfill Rebecca's wish, Tom buys her a cat for her birthday.
But right after buying the cat from shopkeeper Felix (Christopher Walken), Tom finds himself trapped in that cat's body. As Felix explains, Tom needs to show his family that he loves them and if he doesn't do that within a week, he will be stuck inside the cat, Mr. Fuzzypants, forever. As Tom attempts to meet that goal, and learn how to cat, hilarity ensues.
Nine Lives joined theaters already showing other summer 2016 movies including Suicide Squad, Tallulah, Nerve and Bad Moms.
