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 supporting 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.

Carry means to continue or tote . Pregnant means the vague time before birth when womb buids a fetus, it is being developed. She is the hand, pottery wheel and clay. The agent.Narcissistic misogyny wants to reduce everything into something he can control ,he only one with power or ability.This lacks imagination , from a person who has to rearrange and make a mess when he has nothing new to contribute.

As part of a fertility research project, a male scientist agrees to carry a pregnancy in his own body. Junior over the years has got the same hate that Batman & Robin got and guess what it's a better movie than that hell it's a better film than the Ghostbusters Reboot and even Roger Ebert said that the weird thing is not that Schwarzenegger plays a Pregnant man but he plays a very good one. Arnold in this film is fantastic he brings new things in his acting career since he actually studied women giving birth to children in order to get into the role now Danny Devito in his last good role as Dr. Larry Arbogast who is hilarious and Emma Thompson as Dr. Diana Reddin who is this goofy, beautiful and smart woman and of course Frank Langella who Ivan Reitman directed one year before this in Dave a fantastic film he is basically the 'bad guy' of the film. Junior is goofy, disturbing sometimes but also a very touching movie in parts and the actors did a pretty good job this film was nominated for an Oscar for it's soundtrack which is very nice in my opinion and for a Golden Globe for Arnie's performance who like i said he nailed it as Dr. Alex Hesse. The first 20 minutes are pretty good and the opening credits reminded me of Ghostbusters another good film or classic for everyone directed by Reitman. Now this is nowhere near better than Kindergarten Cop, Twins, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II or even Draft Day but it's way better than other crappy films such as Battlefield Earth or Death to Smoochy a film that Devito directed and it was god awful. Like i said it's disturbing, it's dumb and goofy but that was definitely the point since the beginning if you didn't liked it i'm OK with it but in the end i have seen worse movies that got a 6.4 or 6.6 or even an 8 from IMDb and they were awful this one gets an 4.5 and gets remembered as Arnold is Pregnant sure is not his best movie but compare it next to Batman & Robin yeap way way better. I give Junior a 7.5 out of 10 and a B+

Alex Hesse and Larry Arbogast are working on a new drug which will reduce the chances of a woman's body rejecting an embryo and causing a miscarriage. When their funding is withdrawn, and human experimentation is denied to them, they decide to test the drug by briefly impregnating Hesse. Hesse however becomes attached to his unborn baby.A high concept idea 'Arnie gets pregnant', let's reunite him with Devito, and we have another Twins on our hands....But without a decent script and jokes, you don't and unfortunately the script is dire, and the novelty of Arnie being pregnant wears off, when you realise he does nothing but act camp for three quarters of the film.It was such a good idea though, and Reitman can do this sort of comedy in his sleep, but the magic just isn't there, and after the blow of Last Action Hero, Arnie must have thought he would be back as the king of the movies.How wrong everybody was.Thompson and Devito escape unscathed, but only just.A horrid waste of talent.
