Customer Reviews of Nine Months

Looking for a goodtime but don't want to leave your couch. Here's the answer for you.."Nine Months". Directed by Chris Columbus(Harry Potter/Home Alone) starring Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore,Robin Williams, Tom Arnold, Joan Cusak and Jeff Goldblum. These are names that really know how to entertain and will have you laughing out loud the entire length of the film."Nine Months" is a hysterical look at the fears, joys and anticipation of becoming a parent and the waiting period that goes along with it.

Samuel and Rebecca have a relationship to be envied. Samuel is a successful child psychiatrist, the beautiful Rebecca is a graceful dance instructor,they have a cool apartment and car and five years of UNwedded bliss...don't fix it if it ain't broken...right? Well they are in for a big change in their lives. When Rebecca utters those wonderful words..."Samuel...I'm pregnant", the very cool and level headed Samuel practically kills them when he runs the car off the road. And so the fun begins. He discovers he has some growing up to do and it's easier said then done.

Included in the fun are their new "friends", Marty and Gail Dwyer a very pushy but well meaning couple played by Tom Arnold and Joan Cusak. They are old pros at the pregnancy game, as they are working on their fourth. Arnold's one liners are non stop and delivered with his usual brand of boisterious humor, and you never knew how funny delivering a baby could be until you have seen Cusak's brillantly comical turn in the labor room. Jeff Goldblum, is Samuel's single friend, his link to his youth,and turns in a great performance.Then, of course there's the obstetrician. Who else can make having a baby such a riotious romp other than Robin Williams. He's just absolutely zany as the Russian Dr. Kosevitch, about to atttempt his first delivery, human delivery that is!

So prepare to laugh out loud as Samuel and Marty go fist to cuffs with "Arnie the Dinosaur",Dr. Kosevich butchers the English language, it's Murphy's Law on the way to the hospital, and Rebecca and Gail make impending motherhood a delight for all.

You can't go wrong with the film or with the DVD. It's a beautiful picture in anamorphic widescreen(Aspect Ratio 2.35:1), and the audio in Dolby Dig 5.1(or Surround) is outstanding. The soundtrack including "The Time of Your Life"(Steve Van Zandt) and scoring by Hans Zimmer is perfect for this film. There are subtitles in English and Spanish and may be viewed in French. There are trailers but no other special features included. It's a quality transfer with at an exceptionally good price.

It's it's a great ride, and one you will want to go on again...have fun...Laurie

"You have a girl. Unless I cut the wrong cord"
There are many other hilarious quotes in this movie, mainly from Robin Williams, in a fantastically Russian role. But most of them are way too rude, and Amazon would be no doubt getting their red pen out. And I'm not having that happen to my review.

This movie is typically predictable, of this sort of chick-flick, women only film. With a lot of actors (Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, Tom Arnold, Joan Cusack and Jeff Goldblum, the latter playing their usual kooky parts), you feel swamped by the stars, but yet, who is the true main star? Robin Williams. He is hilarious, as soon as he appears. The movie is worth watching for him alone, and you fill be in fits of laughter, by the finale, the double-labour scene.

For a guy who dumps his girlfriend, and then decides he wants her BACK, Samuel (Hugh Grant) doesn't seem to try to hard! But then again, neither does Rebecca. But then, I'd let Samuel do all the chasing personally! Jeff Goldblum plays his 'best friend', and manages to throw in any of his old nonsense (that makes sense to him, but to no one else) and it works in the script. I don't think so. He didn't have much to do in the movie, one minute he's telling Samuel to be with Rebecca, embrace fatherhood, and then he's telling him that he dumped his girlfriend because she wanted his "essence". Uh-huh. (Not necessarily in that order, but you know what I mean)

Tom Arnold plays a very over-the-top role, alongside his baby-making machine, played by Joan Cusack. Oh, I'm sorry, you mean that's his wife?! Could've fooled me! As Samuel so rightly says, you need a licence to drive a car, but anyone can become a parent, and sometimes a very lousy one. I'm not saying that Tom & Joan's character are lousy parents (there's not much interaction between them and the kids), it's just - she must have spent half her married life being pregnant!

Why was Hugh Grant given the main billing for this movie? To me, this will always be a Robin Williams. He's so funny, especially when he gets his words muddled, or says the completely wrong thing, and still manages a big cheesy grin. And the Russian accent never falters!

There's nothing in the way of extras, except a trailer. For once, I watched the trailer AFTER the movie (nyah nyah) - I've seen this movie so often, the trailer didn't particularly appeal to me. But then I noticed scenes that were obviously cut from the movie, IN the trailer! If you're gonna cut scenes from the movie people, take them OUT of the trailer too! It just ruins it. You see what could have been a potentially funny scene, but it's no longer there.

This is a terrific movie, although as one reviewer said, it's enough to put any guy over to the other side! But no film will put women off giving birth, because it's not real! Although it's hilariously funny!

9 Mos is cute and fun, but also annoying and unrealistic.
I like Hugh Grant. His facial expressions and exasperated Englishman's blathering is hilarious. I also adore Joan Cusack and Tom Arnold is a riot in this movie. Robin Williams is a bit over the top as the OB/GYN, but when isn't Robin over the top?!

The birth scene at the end irritates the heck out of me just because it's so silly and so unrealistic. The race to the hospital scene is just as ridiculous, but it does offer some laughs. Overall this is definitely a must see.
