Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Dr. Alex Hesse, who with his associate, Dr. Larry Arbogast, has developed a wonderous new drug to ensure healthy pregnancies. But when the government forbids further testing of their creation, Alex and Larry secretly move forward with a daring plan. To succeed, they must cope with a snooping, villainous research administrator and the brilliant, beautiful-but-klutzy scientist, Dr. Diana Reddin. The seeds are sown for a hysterical, high-spirited whirlwind of humor, romance and tender insights into the magnificent power of maternal love. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

CRITICAL COMMENTS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alex Hesse: Luck is for the ill-prepared. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"This politically correct farce boasts enthusiastic performances from its three stars, and precious few laughs after the initial joke is presented. Instead, Arnold becomes a better man by experiencing childbearing like a woman." -- Leonard Maltin | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alex Hesse: I never realized how lonely I was. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

"The most unexpected thing about the movie is not that it's funny, which we expect, but that it's sweet. It's one of those films you sit through with an almost continual smile." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"The funniest film of the year!" -- Patrick Stoner, FLICKS/PBS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"The predictable result is a big-budget mess more likely to elicit gorans than laughter." -- James Berardinelli | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Junior delivers big, big, laughs!" -- Joel Siegel, Good Morning America |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Let's just say that, for the right audience, Junior may deliver. But there's a whole lot of pregnancy to go through first." -- Desson Howe, Washington Post | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Two Thumbs Up!" -- Siskel & Ebert | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
