Amazon.co.uk Review
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 and 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 ageing 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

Any expecting couple should enjoy this film, but even if a baby is not in the cards, you'll have fun with this one. Hugh is his clumsily-charming self, which makes you root for him, despite of himself. It deals with the male jitters of becoming a dad, and with hilarious scenes with a life-size Barney and the out-of-this world performance by Robin Williams as a Russian vet gone obgyn, all ends well, as a feel-good movie should. So, if you're a Hugh fan, or just like well-made comedies, you'll enjoy Nine Months for sure.

Yes it's cheezy, yes it's feel good, but if you're just looking for a film to wash over you and for you to enjoy snuggled up with someone or a night in with a good cup of tea this is it.
The jokes are cheezy and a bit predictable but they do make the movie what it is. If you're a pregnant couple you should definetly watch this!
To summarise the plot Sam (Hugh Grant) doesn't want kids, even though he is a child psychotherapist. He then finds that his girlfriend is pregnant and the film basically revolves around him trying to except it. I won't spoil the ending!
You don't need to work on this film to watch it. But if you just want a film to make you smile this is it.
Robin Williams character of a russian obstetric doctor is brilliant. and as a student nurse myself I just really enjoyed this film.
