Movie Reviews of Nine Months
Movie Review: British Comedy is Not Universal
Summary: 1 Stars
Has anybody noticed that different cultures find different things funny? My date and I went to see The Wiz back in '78, we were the only two white folks in the packed theater. At many points in the movie the audience was laughing very hard while we sat silently. Twice my date and I found something really funny and busted up while the silent audience looked at us like we were nuts.I always remember that date when I watch a Hugh Grant movie. Hugh's only Comedy Trick is to get his character in a painfully clumsy social situation and then stammer. It becomes really painful watching his movies in a theater, because not only is it embarassing to watch a grown man get into these situations, but the embarassment lingers since there is a two second pause in the movie... the pause where the filmmaker THINKS the audience will be LOL'ing.
Not only was Nine Months tiresome, but the ridiculous Robin Williams character and keystone cops chase scenes DON'T WORK in a comedy-drama.
Finally, the Big Theme of this movie is that a grown man chickens out and deserts his wife and unborn child and finally comes around to assume his responsibilities... Like, Horray, he's as good as an average guy. Yippee.
I don't see this movie having anything to offer an American audience.
Movie Review: Unfunny
Summary: 1 Stars
The story has all the elements of a funny movie, and there are lots of good actors around, but somehow it just doesn't come together. Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore are lovers? You've got to be kidding - there is absolutely nothing going on between those two. Grant hams it up desperately in an attempt to conceal the obvious, namely that he is not interested in anything going on around him. Jeff Goldblum wanders through the movie as if at a loss to remember what on earth got him there. And Tom Arnold is just unbelievably, unbearably bad. There are some cheap jokes that may make you chuckle and Robin Williams has a couple of good scenes, but even the slapstick is so poorly executed and overacted it's painful. A total, unmitigated disaster.Movie Review: Buy Notting Hill instead!

First time I saw this movie in cinema, I liked it. Then I made big mistake. I bought the movie on DVD when it was released and watched it again. After second viewing, I dislike it. Marty (Tom Arnold) is the one annoying me most. A man who is so insensitive and inconsiderate to others can suddenly be so sensitive when another man voices out his opinion about having children? Ridiculous! The only consolation is Robin Williams appearance, though it's not superb either. I give it one star or less if I could.Movie Review: Absolutely Appalling

I happened upon this film while watching TV.It was very much like viewing an accident,you want to turn away and not look but can't help your self.1 star is being kind.The acting is pretty bad.The writing is much worse.The dialogue is pathetic.I was embarrassed for the whole cast.A real mess.It doesn't even play as a-so-bad-it's good one.Stinkbomb of the highest order.Movie Review: Nine Months Too Long

Another sappy love story. Boy gets girl preggers, boy freaks out, girl leaves boy. Then montage, then they come together when baby born. Oh yeah, throw in British actor for comedy effect. Bam, another chick flick! The End!
