Synopsis

To carry out the trial, he has an embryo implant, believing that he will only carry the baby for three months – hardly expecting to face the prospect of giving birth.

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
athenensnike Carry means to continue or tote . Pregnant means the vague time before birth when womb buids a fetus, it is being developed. She is the hand, pottery wheel and clay. The agent.Narcissistic misogyny wants to reduce everything into something he can control ,he only one with power or ability.This lacks imagination , from a person who has to rearrange and make a mess when he has nothing new to contribute.
ddt_eagleeye By now we have seen Arnold as a ruthless barbarian, nearly indestructible cyborg, bad-ass soldier, caring brother and as an action hero. So what is missing next on the list... well, let's see... how about becoming a mother? Really? Yes, really, Arnold is getting pregnant in this movie as a part of a scientific fertility project. The manliest man on earth is about to have a bun in the oven.The premise sounds fun, again we have Ivan Reitman and DeVito on board to hopefully deliver another classic like Twins. However, Junior just falls flat. It is a very mixed bag, leaving the viewer somewhere between shock and awe. It tries to be funny sometimes but just comes out as cheesy and cringe-worthy. Schwarzenegger and DeVito are not to blame for it, again they have a good on screen chemistry, but are too hindered by a restrictive script. So, while Arnold's other movies delivered on action and Twins delivered on comedy, this one doesn't really deliver on either of them. It's a movie that doesn't know what it wants to be, forcefully trying to squeeze Mr. Schwarzenegger into a character we would have least expected him to see in. Is it a good laugh for a one-time viewing? Yes, probably because of Arnold's performance. Is it a must-have for Schwarzenegger fans? Yes and no. Yes, if you're a collector of his films. No, if you're an action or comedy fan. Is it actually a good movie? Not really. It's a strange viewing experience, prepare to be mildly entertained at best.
richieandsam JUNIORI am a big Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, but this is one of his worst movies... but not as bad as Raw Deal!The movie is about 2 scientists who decide, after their funding has been declined, to impregnate a male.It is a comedy that Arnie made in the 90s, but the problem is, it just doesn't work as well as Twins.I did like it... I just didn't love it.The acting is not that good. Arnold at the beginning of the movie is so stiff and terrible that I thought that this was even worst acting than Mr. Freeze in Batman and Robin.The movie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito and Emma Thompson. Danny does a good job. I like Danny a lot. He has made a lot of great films. This is one of Emmas worst performances that I can remember though. Arnie was not bad all the way through though. His acting did improve and he was even really funny in places. It has a lot of classic quotes that I use regularly.The comedy was quite weak most of the movie. There were some funny moments and some even made me laugh out loud, but a lot of the time I didn't find it very funny.The story was entertaining and I didn't hate this movie... I just thought it could have been a lot better.I will give this movie 6 out of 10."My nipples are very sensitive."For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
wes-connors In an incredibly stupid opening, body-building gynecologist Arnold Schwarzenegger (as Alexander "Alex" Hess) caries a urinating baby around the library. Thankfully, this is only a wet dream and the film gets better; it helps to lower expectations... When their fertility drug "Expectane" is rejected by the FDA (the US regulatory Food and Drug Administration), Mr. Schwarzenegger and doctoral pal Danny DeVito (as Lawrence "Larry" Arbogast) decide to continue testing. This becomes difficult as Schwarzenegger is replaced at work by klutzy doctor Emma Thompson (as Diana Reddin). She's single and attractive, though. Due to the loss of laboratory chimps, Schwarzenegger is selected to become pregnant. The muscularly masculine doctor is implanted with a fertilized egg, which both Schwarzenegger and Mr. DeVito expect will be temporary. However, Schwarzenegger starts to develop motherly feelings for his baby...In a somewhat parallel plot, Mr. DeVito's ex-wife Pamela Reed (as Angela) has just been impregnated by an "Aerosmith" band member or associate..."Junior" cleverly skirts scientific implausibility. It throws out medical terms here and there, without really explaining anything. Although a "test tube" would be preferable, they plot to plant a fertilized human egg into a man's body. Unexplained is how this experiment will help a female pregnancy – but, perhaps a rising tide lifts all boats. The drug may even be able to prevent the fetus from killing its male host body. Even without a womb, Schwarzenegger is a tough guy. By being vague, this script works. The situation comedy is carried mostly by Schwarzenegger's predicament, with producer-director Ivan Reitman and his crew delivering the goods. However, the story always only goes for the most obvious humor; when it approaches any sort of depth, "Junior" stops short. It's skillfully produced, but steadfastly refuses to take any real chances with the material. In featured roles, Frank Langella and Judy Collins are employed well.****** Junior (11/23/94) Ivan Reitman ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, Emma Thompson, Pamela Reed
