When successful child psychologist and one-time playboy Samuel Faulkner (Hugh Grant) hears that his girlfriend, Rebecca (Julianne Moore), is pregnant, he panics. As Faulkner's crippling fear of commitment sets in, Rebecca decides to leave him. Realizing he wants to spend his life with her, Faulkner struggles to come to terms with the gravity of impending fatherhood -- a struggle helped in no way by the antics of Rebecca's bumbling obstetrician, Eastern-Bloc refugee Dr. Kosevich (Robin Williams).
Nine Months

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Nine Months finds writer-director Chris Columbus playing to his worst comedic instincts -- and relying far too heavily on the trademark tics of his miscast leading man.

Derek Malcolm Guardian Columbus pulls every shallow emotional string he can find to give the film its pro-family feelgood conclusion and directs in so slapdash a way that its faults seem to be constantly magnified. Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Geoff Brown The Times (UK) Any charm he might possess has been squeezed out by the Hollywood machine, and the little shots of Hugh rollerblading, or Hugh getting his ears pierced, are scarcely enough to create new endearments. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times [Grant's] mannerisms were endearing in Four Weddings And A Funeral. They are more of an endurance now. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Quentin Falk Sunday Mirror (UK) It would be good to report that this frantic farce is so brilliant that it puts all those blazing headlines in the shade but frankly the real-life story of Hugh's drive-by is a lot funnier than this contrived comedy. Rated: 2/5 Aug 19, 2025 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a somewhat erratic yet mostly entertaining comedy... Rated: 3/4 Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) The script is straight drivel... Dec 9, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
