action
The film is about the child psychologist Samuel Faulkner, who absolutely doesn't want any children. When his friend Rebecca Taylor tells him that she is pregnant, he is not very enthusiastic, but does not want to go wrong.
Faulkner and Taylor visit Faulkner's friend Sean Fletcher, a painter. Even the single Fletcher doesn't want to have children. His sister Gail Dwyer and her husband Marty already have three daughters. There is a family quarrel at the table.
Marty wants a son now that his wife is pregnant again. He, his wife, Samuel, and Rebecca visit a toy supermarket where Marty purchases toys for the boys. Meanwhile, Rebecca reveals to Gail that she is afraid of having to raise the child alone. Samuel didn't even propose to her.
When Samuel forgets a doctor's appointment from Rebecca, she leaves him and moves in with Marty and Gail. He regrets his behavior and prepares for the birth with books. When Rebecca arrives at the hospital shortly before the birth, he finds out about it, drives to her and they reconcile.
There are still minor complications up to the simultaneous birth of the children of the two couples. Gail gives birth to a girl, Rebecca a boy. The two fathers get along.
criticism
“The staging, which is based on flat feeling and often tasteless slapstick, avoids dealing with existential questions and robs itself of any humor through its lack of imagination. The film is quite mendaciously singing a "song of praise" to the family. "
“Little remains of the cheeky joke of the French original" Nine Months ". Director Chris Columbus (...) relies on slapstick. "
Awards
Robin Williams and Joan Cusack were each nominated for an American Comedy Award for Funniest Supporting Actor, but neither could win it.
