Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
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 admit 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.**
By now we have seen Arnold as a ruthless barbarian, nearly indestructible cyborg, bad-ass soldier, caring brother and as an action hero. So what is missing next on the list... well, let's see... how about becoming a mother? Really? Yes, really, Arnold is getting pregnant in this movie as a part of a scientific fertility project. The manliest man on earth is about to have a bun in the oven.The premise sounds fun, again we have Ivan Reitman and DeVito on board to hopefully deliver another classic like Twins. However, Junior just falls flat. It is a very mixed bag, leaving the viewer somewhere between shock and awe. It tries to be funny sometimes but just comes out as cheesy and cringe-worthy. Schwarzenegger and DeVito are not to blame for it, again they have a good on screen chemistry, but are too hindered by a restrictive script. So, while Arnold's other movies delivered on action and Twins delivered on comedy, this one doesn't really deliver on either of them. It's a movie that doesn't know what it wants to be, forcefully trying to squeeze Mr. Schwarzenegger into a character we would have least expected him to see in. Is it a good laugh for a one-time viewing? Yes, probably because of Arnold's performance. Is it a must-have for Schwarzenegger fans? Yes and no. Yes, if you're a collector of his films. No, if you're an action or comedy fan. Is it actually a good movie? Not really. It's a strange viewing experience, prepare to be mildly entertained at best.

Wrentz, and Tom Dugan Directed By: Ivan Reitman Review NOTHING IS INCONCEIVABLE Hello Kiddies your pal the cupid critic here, you ever thought about what would happen if a guy was pregnant well imagine if that guy was Arnold Schwarzeneger pretty funny right? Wrong! As part of a fertility research project, a male scientist agrees to carry a pregnancy in his own body. Now let me explain to you how an Arnold Schwarzeneger movie is made, hey studio executive I have an idea for a movie. A movie or a poster, well a poster of course. I see Arnold Schwarzenager with a toy gun, baby, he's pregnant. Okay go on.He's got a huge belly and everything and he's like what? I'm pregnant.That doesn't happen. That is true that doesn't happen. And we can have that short guy from twins cause Arnold was in Twins, but it's not Twins. Of course not. And lets get a British female. The movie has one goal, be funny, which it is not and apparently this is a romance/drama film as to how I have no idea idea. But I honestly believe that its primary goal at the time was to be a cool poster. The story does sound interesting for a comedy but apparently their are moments were your suppose to take the situation seriously which baffles me, I mean come on its Arnold Schwarezneger with a baby I should be laughing my ass off. Can you guess what this movie is, boring. I mean its bad when I'm actually praying for it to be insensitive and insulting. Maybe we can get some humor across, I guess the actors are alright and Arnold doesn't come across as half bad in this but that's the problem, we want him to be bad in this. I'm giving Junior a half out of five.
9 reason to avoid this move:1.It is deeply disturbing. 2.It will give you nightmares for the rest of your life. 3.You'll never look at Arnold the same way again. 4.Your face may become permanently locked in a look of shocked disgust. 5.You may find yourself standing over your broken TV, wielding an ax you did not know you even owned. 6.You will need to see a psychiatrist at least once a week. 7.Your psychiatric bills will eventually make you poor.8.When you psychiatrist realizes you are hopeless you will be admitted to a mental facility where you will spend your remaining days. 9.You will eventually kill yourself.I know this, because it all happened to me.
