This film represents Hugh Grant's first big bid at Hollywood stardom, on the heels of the success of Four Weddings and a Funeral. But he stumbled twice: first with this mundane comedy, then by being arrested after soliciting a prostitute near downtown Hollywood, the week before the film opened. Directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire), Nine Months was a weak reworking of a French film about an aging bachelor (Grant) who can't decide whether to commit to the woman he loves (Julianne Moore). When she becomes pregnant, he still can't make up his mind and winds up blowing hot and cold on the subject of fatherhood, which causes tension in the relationship. There's a lot of low comedy involving Grant's best friend; Tom Arnold plays this ultra-married and child-ridden suburbanite, who makes fatherhood look like a living hell. Robin Williams has a funny cameo as a foreign doctor, but in the end, the sentiment is ladled on and Grant doesn't have nearly enough funny material to work with. --Marshall Fine
Description
Sam (Hugh Grant) has it all - a wonderful girlfriend, a successful child psychology practice and a red Porsche. But he's faced with having something he never wanted when he learns his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) is expecting. The news sends the unflappable psychologist into a panic. Torn between advise given by a well-meaning but over-bearing couple, (Tom Arnold and Joan Cusack), and by his confirmed bachelor buddy (Jeff Goldblum), Sam's in serious danger of losing his mind and his girlfriend. He's got just nine months - give or take a week, according to their crazy Russian gynecologist (Robin Williams) - to grow up!

 question? June 1, 2009
Yaron Naor (Boston, MA USA)
I love this movie, I have seen it zillion times. Robin Williams is hilarious as a ob. Delivery part is totally wild. But the most I love the end of the movie when Huge Grant is dancing with his son. It is very touching. Now the question: Does anybody know what is the name of the song he is dancing and who is playing it. The song is so beautiful. Please help me. Thanks.

I purchased this movie because I like it, but it won't play in my DVD player. When I purchased it I was warned that it was region specific, however I thought it would play on Australian equipment. Very disappointed.

Here is a light, amusing movie about a long-time couple whose perfect life is turned topsy-turvy by a surprise preganancy.
Several reviewers have pointed out the Hugh Grant plays his familiar bumbling, but charming character. And, Tom Arnold plays the loud-mouth, annoying guy that he often plays. Robin Williams does his off the wall foreign act. Yes, it's typecasting, but so what. They are all quite funny. Yes, the storyline is predictable, you know how it will end, but so what? It is still really enjoyable. There is a lot of physical humor that had me laughing out loud. The scene in the toy store where there is a fist fight with a foul-mouthed Barneylike character is worth a chuckle. The delivery room scene is a hott, even if it is cliched.
This isn't going to make you think deep thoughts or change your life. It won't win an Oscar, but you will have a good time watching it.
 Nine months, a movie to fill a wonderful evening with laughter and joy December 16, 2008

I always saw the movie in parts through my whole adolescence until I decided to buy it two months ago.
It is very funny and I would recommend it to everyone who just wants to laugh.
Hugh Grant, this succesful young shrink, who is confronted with a kid who hates his parents, finds out that his beautiful girlfriend, Julianne Moore, is pregnant and sees himself uncapable of changing. He is so absorbed by his fear of being a horrible father and loosing his youth, that he almost looses the most important thing in his world...
Finally he realizes what everyone of us has to do, leave the past and enter new phases of life.
It is a beautiful romance.
 Sweet and Fun Movie With a Good Message November 16, 2008
Media Lover
Although this film is a little corny at parts, and the narrative is SO 90s... The plot, humor, cast, music and development win out and serve up an ultimately heart warming flick with a pro-life message.
