I am not sure why all the bad reviews by the critics. I liked the movie very much. The story is about Arnie self-experimenting to prove his scientific breakthrough. He gets pregnant as a result, and the rest of the movie is about how he delivers his baby. I thought it would be really horrible to see Arnold act soft. But I gotta say… he nailed it. You can't call it the greatest performance, but it will really shatter all expectations from Arnie. He can act too. Danny DeVito is hilarious. He is really a great selection. He has perfect chemistry with Arnie. Indeed a very credible performance from him. Very good acting by all others too. The story moves quiet well. It does not feel slack it any point. Kudos to the director. It is a fresh theme and well written movie. Very good watch on a Sunday afternoon. You wont regret renting it.

Well the 90's had every pearl. As a child I watched this movie in the greatest innocence. However as it matures my taste has changed according to my perceptions. A few months ago watching again, and I must say it was a joke. Everything in this movie doesn't pay from the story to the script. Man is not able to raise a child either here or in China. It would be possible if it were a transgenic woman becoming a man like in that documentary "The Pregnant Man. "The movie just makes you laugh at the absurdity of the situation.

I'm sure that any physician who has seen this movie is laughing at this movie, not because of the comedy but because of the medical part. The idea of this movie is fine but I dislike the fact that they 'just find' a got spot in a man's tummy to put a embryo, there's no medical explanation what so ever, like how does the baby gets the nourishment and so on. I laughed so much when I got to see Arnold behaving like a very sensitive and pregnant woman, this was probably the best thing about this movie. There are some fun scenes if you look away from the scientific part and this movie would be far worse if it didn't include these actors.

After the success of Twins in 1988, it was maybe inevitable they'd try to re-create that formula again. Here, Ivan Reitman again teams up with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito for another lite light comedy, and it's a fairly enjoyably little film. The problem is that, it's not really that funny. Sure there are comedic moments, and stuff that raises a smile, but compared to Twins (and it's impossible not to compare them) it just feels a little flat. For me, the star of the show was the wonderful Emma Thompson, who plays a sweet and bumbling doctor. Thomson's character is endearing and really watchable, plus her comedy timing is impeccable - which is no surprise considering that she was part of the University acting team which housed Steven Fry and Hugh Laurie back in the day. The only downside is that she's not in the film as much as one might like. Junior isn't a bad film by any means, but it's maybe just a little dull, and is FAR outshone by Twins and other comedies of this ilk.

Hell No. Even Stallone Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot was more fun to watch.

This film really scrapes the barrel and even then fails to provide anything of remote substance. The premise is absolutely ridiculous. Fine, you might say, but the film is just not funny, at any stage. Arnie is a screen legend, his action films generally hitting the spot and providing plenty of laughs. This so-called comedy falls terribly flat. The story sees Arnie become pregnant in the name of science. Cue some gender swapping traits etc and the sight of Arnie in a dress. But as I said, it just isn't funny. There are some nauseating scenes in this, with endless morals and moaning. Arnie by 1994 was worth trillions. He didn't need the cash, so I can only assume that his greed was at its peak when he signed the contract to star in this sorry mess. Junior should be deleted from memory.

The tagline is not good. Who wants to see a guy pregnant? This is a quietly not so amusing film which I enjoyed more than I expected. While Schwarzenegger is the "star" of the movie, this is really de Vito's film. He dominates every scene he is in, and maintains a manic character who actually shows some change as the film progresses without losing the basic energy of his persona. I'm not a big fan of pointless comedies. 4 hours in a casino = 6 months of passive smoking. At least that's true. While the plot is a little tenuous at times and there are only one or two real belly laughs I enjoyed the film, even on the small screen. Worth watching, but probably not worth buying.
