Summary: "I'm in love with my child"
Review: Nine Months is a brilliant movie all about pregnancy, parenthood and growing up. Hugh Grant plays Samuel, the guy who has it all, a great girlfriend (Julianne Moore) an amazing apartment and his job is "thriving". All is nearly close to perfection until Samuel finds out that his girlfriend, Rebecca, is pregnant. He takes it very calmly by very nearly killing them! Joan Cusack and Tom Arnold play the breeders, Gail and Marty Dwyer who have three girls and another one on the way. Then there is Samuels bachelor buddy played by Jeff Goldblum who has just been left by his girlfriend Christine. A hilarious comedy which you just HAVE to see.

Summary: One of my favorites!
Review: Nine months is an adorably funny movie seen through the eyes of a terrified father to be (Hugh Grant). Robin Williams is hilarious as the couple's Russian doctor. Joan Cusack and Tom Arnold are superb as the "breeder" couple that helps them through this changing time. Julianne Moore shines as the expectant mommy. An all around heartwarming and funny movie. The end will have you rolling on the floor holding your stomach with laughter.

Summary: Fantastic movie
Review: Outstanding movie, great for the family. Hugh Grant plays a self conceited man whos getting older and has to decide on whether he wants to make a comitment and be a father. He is in love with his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) and his like is near perfect until she announces her pregnancy. He has to decide whether he wants to be a father and give up his old life and is frightned. His friend (Tom Arnold) plays a father with 3 girls and a pregnant wife and this terrifies him. A great comdey and cute story in general, a nice film.

Summary: An Amusing Distraction
Review: The Question:
How can Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, Robin Williams, Tom Arnold, Jeff Goldbloom and Joan Cusack all be in the same movie and it is still not incredible? The Answer:
Predictable writing, easy puns, rehashed characters and less than inspired performances. I am a fan of Grant, Williams and Goldbloom, but in "Nine Months" I saw the same personalities they have in many movies. Grant was the same cute, surprised, humble and step-behind Brit. It is a great personality, and appropriate for the movie, but he was given so little good material to work with that I could barely muster a smile. His struggle with leaving youth behind to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood asks important questions, but the screenwriters used formulas rather than insight to create the conundrum's complexities. It felt as if no real fathers were involved in scripting. Unlike Danny Kaye, Robin Williams is unable to replay the naive foreign speaker with freshness every time we see him. His doctor sounded like a mix of Dr. Nick Riviera on the Simpsons and Williams as the Russian in "Moscow Over the Hudson." His lines were largely mispronunciations of female anatomy. The writers overdid the gag, and it grew tiresome by the movie's end. Goldbloom was the diehard bachelor who loves his independence. He is philosophical about in that Goldbloom way. It gives depth to the movie as he serves as a vehicle for Grant's conscience. Goldbloom is living and promoting the lifestyle Grant must leave to be a good father. Again, Goldbloom presents in a way that will remind viewers of him in "Jurassic Park" and "The Fly." Moore is shown as a stereotypical mom-to-be. The emotional mood swings are followed by lines heard in every movie involving childbirth. As a stronger part of her character, when considering abortion, she knows that she cannot after experiencing the life inside her. The writers didn't let it become a political or even moral dilemma, but let the story tell itself here. I liked the movie for its easiness. Despite the routine performances by otherwise incredible actors, and the flaccid writing and directing, it turns out to be a nice, pleasing movie. I would not buy "Nine Months," but I would rent it. I watched it while working on a puzzle and found it to be an amusing distraction. Anthony Trendl

Summary: Unfunny
Review: The story has all the elements of a funny movie, and there are lots of good actors around, but somehow it just doesn't come together. Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore are lovers? You've got to be kidding - there is absolutely nothing going on between those two. Grant hams it up desperately in an attempt to conceal the obvious, namely that he is not interested in anything going on around him. Jeff Goldblum wanders through the movie as if at a loss to remember what on earth got him there. And Tom Arnold is just unbelievably, unbearably bad. There are some cheap jokes that may make you chuckle and Robin Williams has a couple of good scenes, but even the slapstick is so poorly executed and overacted it's painful. A total, unmitigated disaster.

Summary: The Gestation Period Seemed More Like Nine Years
Review: The term "uneven" comedy could have been coined to describe "Nine Months." The first two-thirds of the movie (with the exception of Robin Williams' scene in which he plays an unbelievably inept Russian OB/GYN doctor) is the typical romantic comedy stuff you'll find on any average or below-average sitcom. Hugh Grant fusses and frets about being a father and showing commitment when his lover Julianne Moore gets pregnant. She dumps him, and he tries to win her back, the result of which is a foregone conclusion. The last one-third of the movie, however, is energetic and is played for all-out farce as Hugh drives Julianne to the hospital for her delivery, creating havoc (and presumably enough lawsuits to bankrupt him into the 22nd Century, not that this is ever mentioned) along the way, but do the laughs generated excuse the first two-thirds of the film? I imagine certain women who enjoy sitcoms and pregnancy might find this movie heart-warming and "real", but the rest of us will be stuck with not overly convincing characterizations, despite an overall talented cast. Joan Cusack, as usual, rises above the material, and Robin Williams in a manic world all his own as the nutty doctor generates laughs. Jeff Goldblum gives an impeccable performance in what is generally a thankless role as Hugh's best friend. And between you and me, Tom Arnold (and NOT between you and I), please buy an English grammar book and learn the difference between objective and subjective case pronouns. (I don't entirely blame the screenwriter/director Columbus, who might buy one as well, since I've seen Mr. Arnold butcher English on talk shows.) As for Arnold's performance, he does the best he can do with a weak script that calls for him to be callous and obnoxious one moment and incredibly sensitive the next. Julianne Moore, one of our best actresses, tries heroically to bring emotional truth to her stereotypical role, and Hugh Grant relies on his stuttering boyish charm to breeze through the mishmash, but his tearful moments are less convincing, but how much can the poor guy do when he's working with a cardboard cutout?

Summary: "You have a girl. Unless I cut the wrong cord"
Review: There are many other hilarious quotes in this movie, mainly from Robin Williams, in a fantastically Russian role. But most of them are way too rude, and Amazon would be no doubt getting their red pen out. And I'm not having that happen to my review.
This movie is typically predictable, of this sort of chick-flick, women only film. With a lot of actors (Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, Tom Arnold, Joan Cusack and Jeff Goldblum, the latter playing their usual kooky parts), you feel swamped by the stars, but yet, who is the true main star? Robin Williams. He is hilarious, as soon as he appears. The movie is worth watching for him alone, and you fill be in fits of laughter, by the finale, the double-labour scene. For a guy who dumps his girlfriend, and then decides he wants her BACK, Samuel (Hugh Grant) doesn't seem to try to hard! But then again, neither does Rebecca. But then, I'd let Samuel do all the chasing personally! Jeff Goldblum plays his 'best friend', and manages to throw in any of his old nonsense (that makes sense to him, but to no one else) and it works in the script. I don't think so. He didn't have much to do in the movie, one minute he's telling Samuel to be with Rebecca, embrace fatherhood, and then he's telling him that he dumped his girlfriend because she wanted his "essence". Uh-huh. (Not necessarily in that order, but you know what I mean) Tom Arnold plays a very over-the-top role, alongside his baby-making machine, played by Joan Cusack. Oh, I'm sorry, you mean that's his wife?! Could've fooled me! As Samuel so rightly says, you need a licence to drive a car, but anyone can become a parent, and sometimes a very lousy one. I'm not saying that Tom & Joan's character are lousy parents (there's not much interaction between them and the kids), it's just - she must have spent half her married life being pregnant! Why was Hugh Grant given the main billing for this movie? To me, this will always be a Robin Williams. He's so funny, especially when he gets his words muddled, or says the completely wrong thing, and still manages a big cheesy grin. And the Russian accent never falters! There's nothing in the way of extras, except a trailer. For once, I watched the trailer AFTER the movie (nyah nyah) - I've seen this movie so often, the trailer didn't particularly appeal to me. But then I noticed scenes that were obviously cut from the movie, IN the trailer! If you're gonna cut scenes from the movie people, take them OUT of the trailer too! It just ruins it. You see what could have been a potentially funny scene, but it's no longer there. This is a terrific movie, although as one reviewer said, it's enough to put any guy over to the other side! But no film will put women off giving birth, because it's not real! Although it's hilariously funny!
