“Nine”
*** (out of 4)
Daniel Day-Lewis captures the creative angst of Italian film director Guido Contini in Rob Marshall’s raucous adaptation of Tony winner “Nine.” But his song and dance isn’t all one might hope. For unforgettable numbers look to Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson from the Black Eyed Peas (singing a tambourine shaking rendition of “Be Italian”) and a jaw-dropping Kate Hudson as a Vogue reporter belting and go-going to lyricist Maury Yeston’s new tune “Cinema Italiano.” The other muses inspiring our all-too-human Apollo are portrayed by Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren and Nicole Kidman. PG-13. 1 hour, 30 minutes. Lisa Kennedy

*** (out of 4)
