Nine (theatre)/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement: Surprisingly many people have heard of either the original film 8 1/2 or the stage musical Nine. Relatively few know about both.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: "Getting Tall"
 * Ear Worm: "Be Italian".
 * And holy crap "Cinema Italiano".
 * Hype Backlash: The movie went into the 2009 awards season as one of a handful of "guaranteed" contenders based on its Oscar Bait 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 failed to match Rob Marshall's earlier Chicago's runaway success. In Spades.
