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

, USA Today
Writer/director Chris Columbus delivers his usual slapstick and sap shtick, but the sitcom-slick results fall flat.
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.
Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
How could so many talented actors contribute their skills to such drek?

Columbus try make this film, a sucess comedy with aspect of sitcom. Grant, Moore and Williams as the neurotic Dr. Kosevich, which was to steal the scene, don't does Nine Months be a comedy for all family or a funny film, written by the creator of Home Alone. Summarize, Nine Months, is a bad movie, that could be fresh, but really not made right to recommend. Rotten.

This had some fun moments in it.

Fucking awful! If giving birth was this bad, the human race wouldn't exists anymore!

I thank this movie for warning me of the horrors of having a kid, Robin Williams, Hugh Grant and romantic comedies. In that order.

Chris Columbus should have stuck with this route.

This was so funny! I had to rewind three parts and watch them over and over again because it was so funny. Good movie.

This movie was the same as all the other Hugh Grant movies. It was funny and had a lot of quirky English humour (Grant style). This is a movie about pregnancy (obviously). This couple has been together for a long time and all of a sudden she is pregnant. When he gets the news he gets extremely nervous about these lifechanging news because he expects all the worse things. I personally don't believe that pregnancy would make this much trouble in a relationship but it was funny to see another side of the story.

Hugh Grant plays a psychologist whose life seems to be going very well until he gets the news that his girlfriend is pregnant. The film has plenty of supporting characters (Julianne Moore, Tom Arnold, Joan Cusack, Jeff Goldblum and Robin Williams who has a few comic relief scenes as the Russian obstetrician) The story is simple but this is a light hearted, funny film.
Sunil J

No surprises in this movie at all but it's funny.
Sarah B

You just want to slap all the characters round their faces and say, "JUST DEAL WITH IT!"
Erin C

This wasn't as good as I thought it would be (from reviews I've heard). There were some funny parts though, and the cast was a good one overall.
Lee K

Funny Hugh Grant film, that actually has a pretty good comedic performance coming from Tom Arnold.
