nothing special

'Nine Months' is a romantic comedy film starring Hugh Grant as a boyfriend to a girl who has learned that she has just become pregnant. Hugh Grant's character must now learn how to be a grown up and how to be a good father, and he does not like this one bit. Nothing about this film really stands out among all of the other films in the genre. It's pretty forgettable, but it was fairly enjoyable when first viewed. Do not expect anything other than a typical Hugh Grant romantic comedy. In my opinion, it's pretty dull, but it does have its moments. I give it an average 5/10. It's okay but not special, and it is pretty forgettable; doesn't do anything for the genre or film history.
