Features: DVD
An all-star cast delivers a big bundle of joyful laughs in this hilarious comedy about pregnancy, parenthood and panic. Sam (Hugh Grant) has it all - a wonderful girlfriend, a successful child psychology practice and a red Porsche. But he's faced with having something he never wanted when he learns his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) is expecting. The news sends the unflappable psychologist into panic. Torn between advice given by a well-meaning but over-bearing couple, (Tom Arnold and Joan Cusack), and by his confirmed bachelor buddy (Jeff Goldblum), Sam's in serious danger of losing his mind and his girlfriend. He's got just nine months - give or take a week, according to their crazy Russian gynecologist (Robin Williams) - to grow up!
"The funniest all-out comedy since Mrs. Doubtfire." John Corcoran, KCAL-TV
"Delightful and irresistible!" Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview
Editor's Note
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 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 behavior, walks out on him. Miserable at the loss of his girlfriend, Samuel begins to reconsider his life, and eventually realizes that his existence can only be complete if Rebecca -- and 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 marriage as well...

"...Carried along by the personalities of its stars -- in particular, by Grant....[Moore is] supremely vibrant..." 07/21/1995 pp.44-5Variety
"...[A] funny, audience-pleasing comedy....Moore is winsome..." 07/10/1995 VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever 7 of 10
Happily single Samuel (Hugh Grant) gets his girlfriend Rebecca (Julianne Moore) pregnant and promptly wigs out. He makes amends to the lovely Rebecca, they marry...and...live happily ever after. Bachelor pal Sean (Jeff Goldblum) and an expectant couple (Tom Arnold and Joan Cusack) with three kids round out the cast, with Robin Williams offering his usual manic flair as a Russian obstetrician, improvising his scenes with glee. Grant's knack for clumsy befuddlement fits well with the warm, fuzzy style of [Director] Chris Columbus. Nine doesn't go out on any limbs, but is a pleasant diversion anyway.
