Some things I liked some I did not.

Excellent, a Must See

The first must-see film of the year.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Before "Knocked Up" came along (and I absolutely loathed that movie), there was this. The laughs are great and, as any parent will tell you, everything that happens during pregnancy is real, although we all know that no two pregnancies are ever the same. Granted everyone may not like this movie for whatever the reason, it still is quite funny. Nobody can tell a story the way that our friendly ensemble does. You cannot get any better than that. When you have someone like Chris Columbus do this, expect quite a few laughs. Mr. Columbus was the man who directed "Home Alone," of course, so I didn't doubt his work going into this. Then again, I was only about 9 or 10 when I first watched this, so I didn't really think much of it at the time. As I grew up, I got to enjoying this more and more. For a first-time parent (or even someone who doesn't have kids), sit down and watch this. You may like what you see.

this is my first review on here. i never know what to write! but i had to write one for this.It was hilarious, i have been watching a lot of films lately and sometimes i stop watching about 15 mins in cos its been so boring, but this one was funny from the very start. i don't usually like slapstick on TV but its different in films. Hugh grant generally always plays the same kind of character, although he is brilliant at what he does, and nearly always has amazing chemistry with his co-stars. He is a little different in this but not much. Samuel can be a bit unfair at the start but understandable. I disagreed with someone who said Rebbecca didn't give him a chance,she did. in the scene at her dance school she asks if he wanted it too and he said yes. I've not seen Robin Windsor in many films but he was hilarious too. the only silly thing i thought was when Gail shouted YEES - she does the same thing in runaway bride LOL!

What is right is to produce 4 of incredibly annoying, rude, out of control brats and become the kind of people everyone find annoying because they are nothing but parents anymore. At least this is the message of this movie.This movie is all about cliché gender stereotypes which are equally insulting to both men and women. Men are the ones who act like little babies staring fights in toy stores and be all terrified about pregnancy. And women are annoying bitches with a stick up their bum who don't like fun and are incredibly baby crazy. This is all they want, babies!!! And of course if you want to have a baby you have to "grow up". This means abandon your 16 year old cat. Very disgusting to see a movie promoting such thing, treating animals as objects that can be given away whenever you don't feel like it. I know some reading this will say: "But this is just a mooooooviiiiiieeee.". Well, yes it is, and i am aware that no cat was harmed while filming it. But at the same time: how many hysterical preggos got rid of their poor pets because they watched it and got scared about a "disease".When it comes to what i discussed before: gender stereotyping. Some comedies can get away with it, when they are funny. But this one can't even be qualified as a real comedy. Way too much cheese in it to be funny.And when they get funny sometimes they go way too far and become more than a comedy but some slapstick. Which doesn't have to be bad, actually my favorite part of this movie is the trip to the hospital. But a slapstick is good when it is a slapstick, and not mainly a child promoting, non-parents shaming melodrama.I think the actors are good, but this didn't help the fact that I hated the characters and all the movie. The only exception could be Robin Williams.Can't really give this movie a good rating. A good cast and 2 scenes which I liked can't make it up for the fact that the rest of the movie was very bad.

As a kid, after returning from School and wrapping up home-work, I remember watching 'Nine Months' a number of times. It was my favorite film then. Now when I look at this film, and when I think about the memories attached to it, I still kinda love it. Director Chris Columbus made my day as a kid.'Nine Months' was not a path-breaking, $300 million rich film, nor was it liked by the pseudo critics. It was a story that wanted an audience, which fortunately it got! The entire idea of a would-be-dad freaking out to his pregnant partner is an interesting thought for a romantic-comedy. Chris Columbus's direction was good. Another aspect that worked big time in here, were it's simply weird characters. Tom Arnold & Joan Cusack were the memorable characters and performers, while Hugh Grant & Julianne Moore managed as the lead performers. Jeff Goldblum did his part well, while Robin Williams was lovable and wild as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist.I love this film... I've got memories attached to it. But even otherwise, this is a good film, that deserves a watch.
