The Nines (2007)
7/10
If at first you don't like the film...wait till the end.

Ryan Reynolds is a complete surprise! It's funny, back when he first appeared I would never have guessed his full potential. I penned him as a nice looking action hero/comedian. But at every turn he tries something different and succeeds each time.

The Nines gives Reynolds the chance to show his chops as a dramatic and comedic actor. Melissa McCarthy is adorable as always, but, gets to play out a dimension of her acting we haven't seen yet either.

It's is a good film, but, it does have flaws. At times it can be too quirky and mellow dramatic, but, in the end it helps more than it hurts.

The acting is solid. The story is interesting (strange as it may be at times). But, the end is what seals the deal, it changes everything in a good way. That said, don't quit half way. In a Hollywood that packs too many twists into there movies, this is one film in which they work.
