* AllStarCast: The movie stars Creator/DanielDayLewis, Creator/MarionCotillard, Creator/PenelopeCruz, Creator/JudiDench, Creator/NicoleKidman, Creator/SophiaLoren, Creator/KateHudson and... Stacy Ferguson of the Music/BlackEyedPeas (aka Fergie). The first six are Oscar winners. Didn't stop most critics from panning it.

Not to be confused with the film ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Nine}} 9]]'', which came out three months before Nine's film version was released.

* AllStarCast: The movie stars [[DanielDayLewis Daniel Day-Lewis]], MarionCotillard, PenelopeCruz, JudiDench, NicoleKidman, SophiaLoren, KateHudson and... Stacy Ferguson of the {{Black Eyed Peas}} (aka Fergie). The first six are Oscar winners. Didn't stop most critics from panning it.

* {{Casanova}}: Deconstructed (although Guido is definitely more in the LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces category) and lampshaded with Guido's film, a filmed opera version about the TropeNamer starring Guido himself that resembles Gudio's own life a little too closely.

A 1982 musical adaptation of Federico Fellini's classic ''Film/EightAndAHalf''. ''Nine'' was conceived by librettists Arthur Kopit and Mario Fratti, and songwriter Maury Yeston. The story is that of world-famous film writer/director Guido Contini, a man who's facing a midlife crisis on many fronts as he turns forty. On one hand, he can't come up with a script for his latest film. On another hand, his marriage to his wife Luisa is on shaky ground. Factor in the ''other women'' in his life, including his mistress, his confidant and costume designer, his film star muse, and his mother, and Guido's [[ManChild got]] [[{{Casanova}} some]] issues.

* AgeLift: For the film version, Guido's age was changed to fifty.

* AllStarCast: The movie stars [[DanielDayLewis Daniel Day-Lewis]], MarionCotillard, PenelopeCruz, JudiDench, NicoleKidman, SophiaLoren, KateHudson and... Stacy Ferguson of the {{Black Eyed Peas}} (aka Fergie). The first six are Oscar winners. Didn't stop it from sucking, according to most critics.

* TroubledProduction: The production of Guido's future masterpiece ''Italia'' is, to put it very mildly, a living hell: no script, no cast, outrageous sets and costumes, and one crazy director.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Guido has been, at various times, [[TheAddamsFamily Gomez Addams]], [[TheMaskOfZorro Zorro]], and [[ThereWillBeBlood Daniel Plainview]].

* AdaptationDisplacement: Surprisingly many people have heard of either the original film ''8 1/2'' '''or''' the stage musical ''Nine''. Relatively few know about both.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: "Getting Tall"

* EarWorm: [[TwoWordsObviousTrope "Be Italian"]].
** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx7eQ-3_fvA holy crap "Cinema Italiano"]].

* HypeBacklash: The movie went into the 2009 awards season as one of a handful of "guaranteed" contenders based on its OscarBait nature, and easily picked up nominations from the Critics Choice and Golden Globes precursor ceremonies. But neither critics nor audiences were easily swayed: the negative reviews ranged in tone from severe disappointment to vicious, while it [[FollowUpFailure failed to match Rob Marshall's earlier]] ''[[{{Chicago}} Chicago's]]'' runaway success. In Spades.

* "TheReasonYouSuck"Speech: Luisa delivers one very powerful one imbetween lines of her song "Take it All" [[spoiler:Thank you...for reminding me I'm not special. You don't even see what you do. Even the moments I think are ours, it's just you working to get what you want... You're just an appetite, and if you stop being greedy you die. You take everything and I'm empty. You know, I'm glad I came. I can see now it's hopeless.]]

* CharacterDerailment: TheMovie turning Stephanie into a bright, perky Guido fan-girl is a pretty solid case.

* AdaptationDecay: TheMovie (YourMileageMayVary).
