History YMMV / NineLives2016

* {{Narm}}: Many, many scenes in the movie (like CG-Tom diving several stories onto an awning and bouncing back unscatched, or CG-Tom dancing on his legs with his daughter) though [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cctyPXD8THY the climax]] is especially noteworthy. Tom believes his son, David, is about to commit suicide (in a ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids kids' movie]]'', no less) so he follows him when he jumps off the roof of a tower. The audience is treated to the bizarre visual of an adult man and a CGI cat free-falling down a CGI building to their impending doom, and in the middle of what's supposed to be a tense scene, David turns and utters "Mr. Fuzzypants?" with an entirely straight face. Tom reminds David of his parachute and David pulls the ripcord, leaving Mr. Fuzzypants, the beloved family pet, to drop to his death with nary a care in the world. It all gets dissected [[https://www.joe.ie/index.php/movies-tv/breaking-worst-scene-worst-movie-netflix-591533 here]]. WebVideo/AniMat was in awe at the film during his reaction video, and Creator/ChrisStuckmann has even said that it felt like he was watching a future ''Film/TheRoom'' or a future ''Film/{{Birdemic}}'' (though the latter still considers the film to be DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible due to the fact that [[Creator/BarrySonnenfeld many]] [[Creator/KevinSpacey talented]] [[Creator/ChristopherWalken people]] were involved in the film).
* SnarkBait: The film is notable in that it had already become a piñata for jokes before it was officially released in cinemas for looking like another ClicheStorm talking pet movie, and has firmly remained so afterwards. The film has also been heavily criticized for [[UncertainAudience not knowing its audience]] (see WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids below).

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: This film is rated PG, even though most of its runtime consists of business meetings and other similar things that children wouldn't care about, and also includes a scene with two security guards who decide to taze a cat [[BlackComedyAnimalCruelty for laughs]] and a scene where a character decides to ''[[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]]''. Creator/ChrisStuckmann has even stated in his overwhelmingly-negative review of the film that it has no idea what its audience is, due to the aforementioned scenes.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Jokes about how this movie was "the worse thing to happen to Creator/KevinSpacey's career" after something far worse came out about Spacey that pretty much ruined his career.

* SoBadItsGood: At least to WebVideo/AndreTheBlackNerd.

* BrokenBase: Reception is split into two camps: Fun family film, or cliche-ridden mess?

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: This film is rated PG, even though most of its runtime consists of business meetings and other similar things that children wouldn't care about, and also includes a scene with two security guards who decide to tase a cat for laughs and a scene where a character decides to ''[[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]]''.
