Junior (DVD) ... DVD released 14 April, 2003 at Universal Pictures Video / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Full Screen, PAL / Arnold Schwarzenegger as a pregnant man? The Terminator with cramps and morning sickness? That was all the teasing audiences needed to flock to this 1994 farce, which reunited Arnold with his director and co-star from Twins, Ivan Reitman and Danny De Vito. Reitman had also directed the Austrian muscleman in Kindergarten Cop, and they brought the same breezy quality of those earlier films to this enjoyable fluff, in which Arnold plays a scientist who uses his own body to test a revolutionary new fertility drug. His colleague De Vito talks him into the experiment, which succeeds beyond their wildest expectations when Arnold begins a full-term pregnancy. Emma Thompson offers a wealth of comedic support as the biologist who moves into Schwarzenegger's lab while he's coping with his "maternal" condition, and Pamela Reed (who was also in Kindergarten Cop) adds to the fun as De Vito's pregnant ex-wife. What's surprising about this mainstream hit is not that it makes the most of its absurd premise, but that it's also sweetly heart-warming in its treatment of role reversal and the joys and pains of pregnancy. It's a good-natured vehicle for a different side of Schwarzenegger's star appeal, and the fact that it works at all is a tribute to Reitman and his cleverly talented cast. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

This film is rather silly, and to begin with i wasnt sure i was going to like it but it did grow on me, and by the end of the film i was quite intrigied by the story. Arnold schwarzeneggar was really funny, and played the role perfectly, he was hiliarious to watch pregnant, especially when he had to dress up as a woman. Em...more

Junior was released in 1994, and the film features some great cast, including arnold swazarzeneggar, emma thompson, danny devito. The film is all about a man, arnold swazegneer who is part of a medical research program, who are trying to develop a drug to prevent miscarriages from occuring. Danny devito playes a fertility doctor, who after the FDA decide to no longer allow funding for this new drug, convinces arnold schwarzeneggars character to test it on himself.

Arnold Schwarzeneggar Is Pregnant? (603 words)

Rating:

The first comedy I saw Arnold Schwarzeneggar turn his acting 'talents' to was Twins - I can't say I was that impressed. Well I say the first, I actually thought Conan The Barbarian was pretty funny, but I suppose it was never meant to be. Well, inexplicably Twins was something of a success, and Arnie stayed making comedies for a little while, coming out with the infinitely better Kindergarten Cop(where he has a straight role more or less) and this movie which sees him paired up again with Danny DeVito and director Ivan Reitman from the Twins movie - Emma Thompson comes along for the ride as well. Like I said, I wasn't that impressed with Twins, ... Read the complete review

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito scored a big hit with the movie TWINS, and so they followed it up with JUNIOR (directed by Ivan Reitman, who also directed the earlier movie). The storyline involves Schwarzenegger as the world’s first pregnant father, and therein lies the problem. Seeing Arnie attempting to ‘act’ as a pregnant man is more bizarre than funny, and the presence of Emma Thompson as a doctor does nothing to help the film. Thompson is a fine actress, as proven by her appearance in HOWARDS END, but even she can’t save trash like this. Arnie is so much better when he is playing an action hero, rather than when he ...
