Being the enormous Daniel Day-Lewis fan that I am, I really looked forward to seeing Nine in theaters. This is the first Day-Lewis film I've had the pleasure of seeing in theaters, and I loved it.
The songs were original, relevant, strong, and beautifully delivered. I especially enjoyed Fergie's performance.
Even Judi Dench had a fantastic solo that put her in a different light than I'm used to seeing her in...
Maybe the only performance I wasn't impressed with was Kate Hudson's. She looked and acted like Brittany Spears (the Brittany Spears of 2008 not 2001...), if Brit was an entertainment news reporter...
