Summary: Samuel and his girlfriend Rebecca's lives are turned upside down when they discover they're having a baby.

Samuel Faulkner's (Hugh Grant) fruitful, happy life completely falls apart when long-time girlfriend Rebecca (Julianne Moore) suddenly announces she's pregnant. The thought of fatherhood and responsibility terrifies Samuel--who just happens to be a child psychologist. Although he does try hard to get used to the idea, the months fly by without a change in his attitude--clearly, he still does not want a baby. So Rebecca, fed-up with his infantile behaviour, walks out on him. Miserable at the loss of his girlfriend, Samuel begins to reconsider his life, and eventually realises that his existence can only be complete if Rebecca-- and okay, their child--remain a part of it. Now Samuel must find a way to convince Rebecca that he's not only ready for fatherhood, but for (gulp) marriage as well...!

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 Monthswas 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
