Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Michael_Elliott Junior (1994) ** (out of 4)Dr. Hesse (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Dr. Arbogast (Danny DeVito) are working on a new drug that will help a woman carrying a baby. There's only one way to test it and that's to try it on Hesse.When JUNIOR was announced people were very excited to hear that the TWINS co-stars were making another film together and with the plot being about a pregnant Schwarzenegger it seemed like a sure hit. Sadly, the film didn't turn out to be a hit and it really became one of the more disappointing comedies of the decade.So, what went wrong with the film? It's actually pretty easy and that's the screenplay. The screenplay really didn't doo many original things and in fact the majority of it just felt really lame and unoriginal. The entire film is based around the idea of the tough Schwarzenegger being pregnant and it really does seem as if the filmmakers thought that idea would be good enough to make the film work.Sadly that didn't happen as we get really bad scenes of the big actor doing various "pregnant woman" things but they all just seem so forced and they're certainly not funny. DeVito doesn't get much to do except of playing the ing husband bit and poor Emma Thompson is just wasted in the role of the wife. JUNIOR should have been much better considering the talent involved but sadly the end result was just too laugh-less to work.
Amy Adler Dr Alex (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a button-downed scientist without a life away from the lab. He has ed forces with a leading LA gynecologist, Dr. Larry (Danny Devito) to develop a new and useful fertility drug. Its very promising. However, a heavy from the FDA (Frank Langella) refuses to give approval for experimentation on humans. What a disappointment! This leaves Larry with a lucrative practice but Alex is going to have to vacate his lab. That is, until Dr Diana (Emma Thompson) literally comes rolling into the same lab on top of a freezer holding her donor eggs. Falling on top of Alex, it is agreed they will share the nice space. Then, Larry gets an even zanier idea. Why not fertilize one of Diana's donor eggs with Alex's sperm and implant the embryo in Dr. Alex, all the while using their new pregnancy-enhancing drug? What, a pregnant male? Never mind that he doesn't have a womb, the baby will just grow in his abdomen for a little while. But, once Alex is pregnant, he starts having morning sickness, emotional swings, and a growing belly. Larry wants to end the pregnancy, as their drug has proved effective. But, hold on. Alex wants his baby! Also pregnant is Larry's ex wife (Pamela Reed), who demands Larry be her doctor. Then, too, Diana and Alex, both devoted scientists, end up falling in love with each other, while Alex tries to hide his ballooning frame. The FDA man comes snooping into the whole affair. Will Alex deliver a baby from the first ever male pregnancy? This sweet darling film is just the kind Hollywood doesn't deliver any more. Its a romcom with a twist as Alex becomes the first male to REALLY LEARN how pregnancy is a wonderful and difficult time. Schwarzenegger has never been more attractive and funny while Thompson, Devito, Langella, Reed, and all of the others do great work, too. The sets, costumes (you should see Arnold dressed up as a giantess to conceal his identity), script and direction combine for one comedic film. Listen, romantic comedy lovers. You may have to seek out films from long ago to satisfy your hunger for funny love tales. Hollywood has thrown the romcom into the X file.
Eric Stevenson I was interested in seeing this movie if only because Mike Nelson of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" said this was the second worst comedy of all time. I'll be the first to it this movie is bad. It's very boring with no laughs. But really, the second worst comedy of all time? This was worse than Carrot Top making a backpack so you can stick things up your butt and vomit in a suit? Uh, no it isn't. Carrot Top is much worse. He claims this movie causes constant vomiting. Please don't tell him about "Disaster Movie" which was ranked as the worst movie of all time here at one point. I know it was made long after the list, but there's no way it couldn't be #1.It had a guy smearing poop on his face and a pregnant girl getting eaten alive by Alvin and the Chipmunks with her fetus being used as a weapon. I could barely count any bodily fluids in this movie at all. The movie is definitely bad because it doesn't function as a comedy. Honestly, maybe if it had been done as a straightforward drama, it could have worked. The actors aren't really bad or anything, they're just dull. Sure, there's not much going on, but it's not much bad going on with the lack of good as well. This is a film you can definitely skip, but it's in no way one of the worst films ever. Roger Ebert gave this three and a half stars so I'm thinking a lot less of one of these two guys.**
OllieSuave-007 Twins actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito team up again, this time as Doctors Alex Hesse and Larry Arbogast, who are working on a new drug which will reduce the chances of a woman having a miscarriage. When their research funding and human experimentation are declined, they decide to test the drug on Hesse, which unintentionally causes him to become pregnant.This is really a silly movie with some light-hearted and slapstick humor that one might find amusing. Arnold is fun to watch on screen as always, with his thick Austrian accent, his one-liners and his good chemistry with the female leads (Emma Thompson and Pamela Reed). Danny DeVito, on the other hand, was a little annoying to watch and was too overzealous in his role.Ivan Reitman kept the plot simple and focused on the character development. It was funny seeing Arnold's character hide his pregnancy from the people around him, and the lengths he goes through to disguise himself as a woman.It's not one of the better Arnold films, as I would like to see a little more intrigue and suspense, but it's OK overall.Grade B-
