Nine (2009) *
Hopelessly boring musical based on Fellini's "8 1/2". A parade of gorgeous women (Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Sophia Loren), a pretentious Italian filmmaker, no story and no memorable songs. And no significant nudity, neither (although a more thorough examination on DVD might be necessary to settle that point). All style and no substance.
