Samuel Falkner (Hugh Grant) is a child psychiatrist who has no kids of his own and doesn't want any, which leaves him a bit shaken when his girlfriend of five years, Rebecca Taylor (Julianne Moore) announces that she's pregnant. Suddenly, Samuel is plagued by paranoid fantasies about how marriage and fatherhood will change his life, which are not at all soothed by frequent visits from Rebecca's chronically-pregnant friend Gail Dwyer (Joan Cusack) and her half-bright lummox of a husband, Marty (Tom Arnold). Too selfish to deal with Rebecca's needs, Samuel parts company with her and takes a last stab at playing the field, but when he sees an ultrasound of his soon-to-be-born son, he decides that it's time to face his responsibilities before it's too late. Nine Months also features Robin Williams in a small role as Dr. Kosevich, an ob-gyn with a weak grasp of the English language. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
The movie felt longer.
-
Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
Breezy, undemanding, and ultimately forgettable.
-
John Wirt, Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
Quickly forgettable romantic comedy. Not even the promising pairing of Grant and Moore can salvage it.
-
Nick Davis, Nick's Flick Picks
An execrable 'comedy,' an insult to Hugh Grant and a felony against Julianne Moore.
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Junk like this makes you wonder how Grant's career has survived.
