Junior

Two scientists, Alex Hesse and Larry Arbogast, are working on a groundbreaking fertility treatment. When their funding is cut and their project shut down, they decide to take a drastic measure to continue their research. Alex agrees to be the first man to carry a child, implanting himself with an egg fertilized by his colleague's experiment.

Junior received a mixed to negative reception from critics, who often found its premise absurd and underdeveloped. While the performances of Schwarzenegger, DeVito, and Thompson were sometimes praised, the film struggled to land its comedic and scientific elements effectively.

• The film's outlandish premise of male pregnancy is largely seen as a failed comedic experiment.

• Performances from the lead actors, particularly Emma Thompson, are often cited as a highlight, though not enough to save the film.

• Critics found the plot to be nonsensical and lacking in genuine humor or emotional depth.

Google audience: Audiences were divided, with some finding the concept amusing and the performances entertaining, while others considered the plot too bizarre and not funny enough.

Emma Thompson was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's prosthetic belly for the film weighed 30 pounds and featured a fully functional, albeit small, artificial womb.
