Junior

Two scientists, Alex Hesse and Danny DeVito, are rejected for a grant to develop a male pregnancy program. Undeterred, Alex volunteers himself as the first human test subject, undergoing experimental procedures to carry a child. As his pregnancy progresses, he grapples with the physical and emotional changes, while also navigating a burgeoning romance with his colleague, Dr. Diana Reddin.

Junior was met with mixed reviews from critics. While the premise and the performances of Schwarzenegger and DeVito were sometimes praised for their comedic potential, the film was largely criticized for its underdeveloped plot, questionable scientific concepts, and an uneven tone that struggled to balance its comedic and dramatic elements.

• Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance as a pregnant man is a novelty that doesn't quite sustain the film's comedic ambitions.

• The film's attempts at exploring themes of gender and family are often overshadowed by a convoluted plot and weak scientific premise.

• Despite a few humorous moments, the overall execution is seen as uneven and ultimately disappointing.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a divided reception, with some appreciating the unique comedic premise and Schwarzenegger's unusual role, while others found the plot to be far-fetched and the humor to be hit-or-miss.

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

Arnold Schwarzenegger gained approximately 25 pounds for his role as the heavily pregnant Dr. Alex Hesse, while also wearing a prosthetic "pregnancy suit" that was inflated to simulate the later stages of gestation.
