Nine Months
As reviewed by Miguel Cervics Kesey
I think the first time I watched this film, I never finished, because I got bored of Hugh Grant's constant boring nonsense...but, hey, it also stars Jeff Goldblum, so I had to watch it right through eventually.
It's about a couple, Hugh Grant and err...his girlfriend who're relatively rich, but, more importantly (or so they say) happy. However, something is lacking in his girlfriend's life; she wants a baby. So, suddenly she's pregnant, because in movies, "want" is "action".
Hugh doesn't want this though...he's "uhh...well, I...uhh...I...uhh...didn't...uhh, no, sorry...uhh...what?...uhh...pardon?...uhh 400 dollars for a blowjob...uhh..." happy being a bachelor, with no attachments; and so is his artist friend, Jeff Goldblum. But anyway, the whole story is about Hugh not wanting the baby, and then eventually wanting it...
So, this film is a relatively humerous comedy, and probably would be a lot better if it weren't for Hugh Grant's presence.
But, look out for some great performances by Tom Arnold, who beats up a guy in a dinosaur costume, Robin Williams, who plays a foreign doctor, and Marlon Brando, who should be in this film, but, sadly isn't because he had to goto a funeral that day...his own.
The only truly funny part of this otherwise mediocre comedy is the hospital scene in which Tom Arnold and Hugh Grant's wives are forced to have their children in the same room at the hands of Robin Williams. Fantastic stuff.
Boom.
