Nine Lives[5] is a 2016 English-language French fantasy comedy film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, written by Gwyn Lurie, Matt R. Allen, Caleb Wilson, Dan Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin, and starring Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Garner, Robbie Amell, Cheryl Hines, Malina Weissman and Christopher Walken.

[6] Tom Brand is a major business tycoon in NYC whose workaholic attitude ruined his first marriage with Madison, and his adult son David now works for him and strives for his approval.

They now live with their second wife and stepmother Lara, who is a little more tolerant of the fact that Tom is never at home, and their daughter and half-sister Rebecca.

Tom’s eponymous company FireBrand is nearing completion on its greatest achievement to date: the tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere that will be the new headquarters.

Tom is blown off the building along with the cat, and without any effort from Ian to save him, he plummets off the side of the skyscraper, but his leg gets snagged on some stray equipment and gets flung back inside through a window as he passes out.

Felix warns him to reevaluate his priorities, connect with his family, and avoid past mistakes within one week or else remain as a cat forever.

When Lara and Rebecca take Mr. Fuzzypants home, he acts in an odd and stubborn way to try to convince his wife and daughter that he is actually Tom.

He also learns that Ian is trying to make the company public with the help of the board of directors to take power from Tom, even though David is trying to stop him.

Rebecca asks the cat to prove he is really Tom, but remembering that Felix said love is about sacrifice, decides to save David instead, sacrificing his only chance at regaining his humanity.

He lands in the middle of the party, presents the company's articles of incorporation, and announces that he now controls his father's 51% of the stock.

"[24] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 11 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".

[27] David Palmer of The Reel Deal gave the film 3/10, writing, "The only reason this 'comedy' won't derail Kevin Spacey's career is no one will ever watch this outside of military interrogation rooms".

[29] The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on 1 November 2016, by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment in the United States.
