Watch The Nine Lives of Christmas For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This story is about the insecurity and uncertainty of the two leads, Zach and Marilee. Neither of them is willing to admit that they have something that might be worth making a commitment. Beyond that, it is a pretty straightforward story. They meet by accident; they get thrown together; they spend time together; they love. They just won't admit that what they have is the lifetime kind of love.Brandon Routh and Kimberly Sustad fit so well together. Their characters are a joy to watch together and that is what makes this movie enjoyable. Add the humor factor of watching them be so clumsy around each other, sometimes physically and sometimes relationally. The story may be no big deal, but it is enjoyable to watch.

Holiday magic with kitties and a male lead (Superman Brandon Routh) who really seems to love cats! This is one of Hallmark's better Christmas offerings. Its full of sweetness and lovely romance.The only negative is that its supposed to be set in Portland, Oregon during the Christmas season. Winter in Portland is generally cool, cloudy and rainy. All of the outside scenes for this film are filled with brilliant green grass, trees with heavy foliage and bright sunlight. To be sure its late spring or summer somewhere. The filming took place in Canada; seems the scouts could have come up with a more 'Christmas-y' Canadian snow scape than the location chosen. Im still baffled as to why the film would advertise Portland in the first place.Kimberly Sustad as Merilee is just adorable as the kind hearted Vet student who isn't looking for love. She's smart, beautiful and loves animals. Brandon Routh as Zachary is sweet and certainly handsome, but never seems really enamored by Marilee. I appreciate that Hallmark let his character be a normal hard working guy, and not some fancy suit from the manor born. I notice that seems to be a trend in a lot of Hallmark productions, and this was refreshing.Still, the performances are thoughtfully executed, and both of the lead actors are lovely and talented and a real treat to watch. Gregory Harrison's small supporting role as the Fire Chief and Zachary's friend and mentor, is living proof that some men just get better and more handsome with age! Put this one on the must watch list for your Christmas movie lineup. Hallmark should take a tip from its own production and make more Christmas offerings like this. This cute film has Nine Lives and then some!

Zachary (Brandon Routh) is one busy firefighter. In addition to his heroic career, Zack buys fixer-upper houses and remodels them in his spare time, then moves on. Very handsome, he is also dating a beautiful model. But, as he tells his firehouse captain (Gregory Harrison) he is NOT about to go steady, get attached, get married. His reasoning is his parents had a miserable union. Meanwhile, Marilee (Kimberly Sustad) is also a lady on the go. In her last year of vet school, she also works at a pet supply store. Despite her landlady banning animals, Marilee also has a gorgeous cat, Duchess, in hiding at her place. Our Marilee makes it clear to her very successful real estate agent sister that she does NOT want any blind dates. One day, Zack finds a handsome stray cat, Ambrose, who he discovers has lost his owner. The firefighter is reluctant to let him in the house, but one day becomes two, becomes three, and becomes Ambrose can sleep on my bed and do anything he wants. Galpal doesn't like the feline at all. As one might guess, Zack and Marliee cross paths and, through a series of mishaps, Marliee ends up apartmentless and jobless. Zach comes to her rescue by offering her the separate rooms in his under-construction house. To his surprise, Marilee can paint and do home repairs, too. Could the gentleman who doesn't want a permanent connection and the lady too busy for love fall for each other? How about Duchess and Ambrose taking a shine to one another, too? This wonderful hallmark movie has charms for everyone. Cat lovers, of course, will especially love the two talented felines, but anyone who clamors for romcoms will love it and those who don't usually go for em will like it also. the cast is attractive and talented, the sets nice, the costumes great, the script a joy, and the direction surefooted. Dear movie makers, will take at least nine more romances with these great elements.

Here you have two nice, attractive people of the opposite gender bound for professional success. the problem is they're too busy for love and romance. The woman is a compassionate brunette pet store employee who's studying to become a veterinarian due to her love for animals. The man is a hunky and affable junior firefighter who upgrades and flips houses on the side. He does have a casual girlfriend, a glamorous but bitchy professional model who'll make the women viewers say, "Why can't he tell she's wrong for him?" Conveniently, he working on a beautiful Victorian dream house, while she's in a campus apartment that doesn't allow pets, and of course she loves cats and secretly keeps one. They live in a nice small town where most people know and are nice to each other. If you don't know how this story ends, than you've never watched Lifetime of the Hallmark Channel before. All that being said, it's completely painless to watch and it'll appeal to its target audience. The leads are likable, the supporting cast competent and the technical aspects are satisfactory. I enjoyed it enough and so will most people if the plot interests them.
