Summary: Hilarious comedy!
Review: "Nine Months" deserves credit just for being a Columbus film. But there's more to it than that: It's outrageously funny, with the film indeed coasting on Hugh's antics and boyish charm, and Moore's radiant beauty.

An aging bachelor (Hugh Grant) is trying to make up his mind whether or not to commit to his girlfriend (Moore) for life. Then, she spills the beans that, oops, she's pregnant! Poor Hugh doesn't know what to do, and therefore starts a roller coaster of hilarious one-liners and silly gags.

The movie works because Moore and Hugh have definite sexual chemistry with a lot of snap, crackle, and pop. Plus add Robin Williams as an Russian obstretrician, Tom Arnold as Grant's doltish friend, and Joan Cusack as Moore's pregnant friend (one of her best roles since "Addams Family Values"). Add a frantic Columbus directing, and you have a charming, hilarious comedy that'll leave you breathless with laughter!

Rated PG-13 for frank sexual discussion, innueudo and for language.

Summary: WONDERFUL!
Review: An outstanding romantic comedy, Nine Months, brings to the screen exactly what the title implies: the story of a pregnancy with all the ups and downs that it entails!
It is a film about human relations, hope and second chances, but most importantly about trust, love, and inner strength.
Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, Robin Williams, Tom Arnold and the rest of the cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs, not to mention a few tears. The film is simple enough, but does a great job of describing people's every day lives and the problems they face. It just goes to show that simplicity is often far better than complexity, when trying to present issues of a human nature.
In short, Nine Months is a movie definitely worth watching!

Summary: Worst crap i have ever seen
Review: Bad acting, awful story ( even for Hollywoods standards).Can someone please give Robin Williams a decent role some of these days? This is an insult to intelligent moviegoers.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Buy Notting Hill instead!
Review: First time I saw this movie in cinema, I liked it. Then I made big mistake. I bought the movie on DVD when it was released and watched it again. After second viewing, I dislike it. Marty (Tom Arnold) is the one annoying me most. A man who is so insensitive and inconsiderate to others can suddenly be so sensitive when another man voices out his opinion about having children? Ridiculous! The only consolation is Robin Williams appearance, though it's not superb either. I give it one star or less if I could.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mediocore..
Review: Grant is just annoying in this film, Moore is wonderful, Tom is hilarious, but Wilams is hysterical. Buying this movie for his cameo alone is the only way I'd recommend it. You can skip through the rest of this slightly funny, but mainly annoying comedy.

Its a good idea...but it just doesn't work.

Summary: British Comedy is Not Universal
Review: Has anybody noticed that different cultures find different things funny? My date and I went to see The Wiz back in '78, we were the only two white folks in the packed theater. At many points in the movie the audience was laughing very hard while we sat silently. Twice my date and I found something really funny and busted up while the silent audience looked at us like we were nuts.

I always remember that date when I watch a Hugh Grant movie. Hugh's only Comedy Trick is to get his character in a painfully clumsy social situation and then stammer. It becomes really painful watching his movies in a theater, because not only is it embarassing to watch a grown man get into these situations, but the embarassment lingers since there is a two second pause in the movie... the pause where the filmmaker THINKS the audience will be LOL'ing.

Not only was Nine Months tiresome, but the ridiculous Robin Williams character and keystone cops chase scenes DON'T WORK in a comedy-drama.

Finally, the Big Theme of this movie is that a grown man chickens out and deserts his wife and unborn child and finally comes around to assume his responsibilities... Like, Horray, he's as good as an average guy. Yippee.

I don't see this movie having anything to offer an American audience.

Summary: Do real people act like this?
Review: Here is a 40 year old man who is having trouble making a decison about what to do with his 40 year live-in girl friend who is pregnant. The girl friend is of course all a man could ask for, and yet, this dunce, we are supposed to feel sorry for.

And how can the scene of the little girl in the bed doing something erotic to the hero can have passed as not being criminal in its implications. Thats not all, another little girl is found making aggressive moves towards the hero. One more asks him to come up for, not coffee, but sex. The guy is just an incredible charmer!

Bottom line, all females are portrayed as either prostitute-like, aggressive, and stupid. This is a horrible movie with no redeeming value.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hugh's Bumbling Englishman Bit Still Ain't Wearing Thin.
Review: Hugh Grant could Churn out Romantic Comedy after Romantic Comedy after Romantic Comedy, playing the Same Bumbling, Stammering Englishman in every one, and I'd still be laughing. I'll be laughing at "Mickey Blue Eyes 2", I'll be laughing at "Notting Hill 4". I will never tire of Hugh's brand of Comedy.

In "Nine Months" Hugh plays a Likeable Brit who is in a Great Relationship (with the Exceptional Julianne Moore) that he doesn't want to change. He is Completely Content until she utters the Immortal Words... "I'm Pregnant".

Hugh's world comes Crashing down faster than you can say Four Weddings and a Funeral. It's bad for him, but it's Great for us, as we watch Hugh deal with the prospects and trials of Fatherhood.

Hugh and Julianne are Wonderfully supported by the Terrific Supporting cast. Tom Arnold and Joan Cusack are Hysterical as fellow soon-to-be Parents (though they already have a pile of kids who make matters worse for Hugh). Jeff Goldblum is Good, but isn't given much screen time to Deliver many Memorable lines, or Develop into a Memorable Character. Robin Williams gives an Utterly Hilarious Cameo as a Foriegn doctor who has to deliver the baby.

Chris Columbus knows the Territory and he Mines the area for all Available Laughs. The One Week Link, and reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is Goldblum. His role is Under-written, Under-performed, and left Somewhat Pointless.
