Good night, you filthy whore!

The Nines (2007)

Chosen by Victoria Charvill who had this to say: 'I've given Dave this one because Koala's control the weather. That and I love the concept of this film, as well as Reynolds and McCarthy. A witty script and good direction. It should appeal to the geek in you.'

A funny, mostly interesting but ultimately frustrating film.
It's hard to resolve a mystery like this satisfactorily and The Nines attempts at, well, I'm not entirely sure what it's trying to say in the end but it veers close to the recent Adjustment Bureau in dealing with a higher power.
That aside, there's some terrific stuff here. Hope Davis is as great as ever and Melissa McCarthy is wonderful, a sexy confidant performance that smooths over the cracks in the ending.
