Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore are a great duo in this comedy. I cannot believe that this movie is rated 5.3, I was laughing my head off. And I can name 10 people off right now that said they were dying of laughter from this film. Yes, it is a little silly at times, but if you enjoy slapstick, this is the movie for you.

Hugh Grant plays Samuel. A handsome and successful man who unexpectingly finds out that his girlfriend, Julian Moore, is having a baby. Of course he has his doubts about the baby while his girlfriend needs his support badly.

It's a great movie. The only thing I can say is that Robin needs a little work on the accent.

9/10

I did enjoy most of Nine Months, my favourite part was the ride to the hospital, that was hilarious, and Robin Williams was priceless. Nine Months was nice to watch, but some of it is uneven. Hugh Grant is dashing in the lead, and Julianna Moore as his love interest likewise. However there are other parts that didn't work quite as well. Jeff Goldblum is at least watchable, but the usually excellent Joan Cusack gives a fairly miserable performance as Gail Dwyer. The script has its ups and downs where the humour felt forced, likewise with the story, where some parts were overly sentimental and hurt the pace at times. Nine Months certainly isn't a terrible movie, it just didn't work as much as it had potential to have. 6/10 for a valiant effort. Bethany Cox

Child psychologist Samuel Faulkner (Hugh Grant) is in a perfect happy relationship with Rebecca Taylor (Julianne Moore). That is until she brings up the M word "Marriage". They are hounded by married couple Marty (Tom Arnold) and Gail Dwyer (Joan Cusack) with their rambunctious daughters. Rebecca tells Samuel that she's pregnant. Their friend Sean Fletcher (Jeff Goldblum) is perpetually single with a series of young girlfriends. Kosevich (Robin Williams) is a weird Russian doctor with bad English. Samuel keeps whining. Rebecca eventually leaves Samuel and moves in with the Dwyers.

I usually like Hugh Grant's hamming and hawing in his rom-coms. This commitment phobic version is much less endearing and rather annoying. For some reason, Tom Arnold keeps showing up like a bad rash. Jeff Goldblum's character is equally horrible. The whole movie is one annoying character after another. The broad comedy could have worked if I actually care about anybody in this movie. In a fight between Samuel and Marty, I root for a double knockout. I'd probably also throw in Robin Williams and Jeff Goldblum into the ring. Julianne Moore is rather bland but has a couple of funny moments. Director Chris Columbus is somehow tone deaf and the praying mantis is very creepy. The jokes keep falling flat.
