Nine Months
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 to 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 behaviour, walks out on him. Miserable at the loss of his girlfriend, Samuel begins to reconsider his life, and eventually realises that his existence can only be complete if Rebecca-- and okay, 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 (gulp) marriage as well...!

Just as Trois Hommes et un Couffin surpasses Three Men and a Baby, so this French comedy is infinitely superior to its Hollywood remake. Primarily, this is because it is less coy in its depiction of the sexual and gynaecological aspects of pregnancy than Chris Columbus's film. It is therefore able to develop its relationships and shifting attitudes on more than a superficially comic level. Similarly, Patrick Braoudé is less mannered than Hugh Grant and genuinely appears to be perturbed by the prospect of fatherhood, despite the advice of family and friends and the assurances of long-suffering wife, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu.

A still-born comedy, bereft of wit or style, in which Hugh Grant acts embarrassed for most of the time, as well he might.
