Junior

A brilliant but insecure scientist, Dr. Alex Hesse, and his more flamboyant partner, Dr. Larry Arbogast, are developing a revolutionary new drug called 'Expecting' that can enable men to carry a baby to term. When funding is cut and their research is threatened, Alex volunteers to be the first human test subject. He becomes pregnant with twins and must navigate the challenges of pregnancy, societal judgment, and protecting his unborn children from corporate interests.

Junior received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the unique premise and the comedic performances of its lead actors, particularly Arnold Schwarzenegger's surprising turn in a dramatic, albeit comedic, pregnancy role. However, many found the script to be underdeveloped and the overall execution less successful than the ambitious concept might have suggested.

• Praised for its audacious premise and Schwarzenegger's committed performance.

• Criticized for a weak script and often unfunny execution.

• Seen as an interesting but ultimately flawed comedic experiment.

Google audience: Audience reviews suggest a mixed reception, with many finding the concept amusing and Schwarzenegger's performance a highlight, while others felt the humor didn't always land and the plot became too convoluted.

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for 'Look What Love Has Done'. Emma Thompson was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.
