Movie #422 "The Nines" is a strange one. A big plus is if you like Ryan Reynolds because he is in almost all the scenes. He plays three different guys --- one who is an actor who plays a cop, and the stress and fans are getting to him so he starts to do cocaine --- he is under house arrest and the house he is living in is owned by a writer (he plays the writer in the next scene, and in the third scene he plays the male lead in the t.v. show the writer is working on) -- if this sounds intriguing, it IS for a while, but the ending wasn't as satisfying as it could have been. Otherwise, well acted by Reynolds and Hope Davis and Melissa McCarthy (Mike and Molly on t.v.) and a very interesting film which could have had a better ending.
