“Nine Lives” (**1/2 out of four) was a predictable but cute family comedy about a stern businessman (Kevin Spacey) who finds himself transported into the body of the family cat, where he tries to find out secrets regarding his business and also his relationship with his wife (Jennifer Garner). Spacey’s wisecracks are a good antidote for slow spots in the script. Nowhere near as bad as many reviews said but not nearly as deft as “The Richest Cat In The World” or “That Darn Cat.”
