“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

“Leap Year”

*** (out of 4)

Amy Adams and Matthew Goode have the charm to float a romantic comedy like “Leap Year.” Amy Adams has been dating a cardiologist for four years. He hasn’t proposed yet. She follows him to Ireland to propose and meets pub owner Matthew Goode. PG. 1 hour, 37 minutes. Roger Ebert “Tooth Fairy”

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Dwayne Johnson is nothing if not game. The wrestler-turned-actor dons tights and a baby-blue satin tunic in the slight family comedy “Tooth Fairy.” With Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews and Billy Crystal. 1 hour, 48 minutes. Lisa Kennedy
