Would you want to watch if Arnold filmed a bout of stomach flu... ?

... No? Then WHY gather round if he's up the duff????! There's nothing' in this idea besides the obvious novelty - and just because something is 'new', doesn't make it funny. Did you find Robin Williams in drag funny? If yes, you might improbably enjoy it; if not, stay away!! They did the best they could with a stupid idea. Making this a dramatic fantasy rather than a comedy would've been their best avenue if the idea HAD to be extrapolated at all; since if you ponder it closely you'll realise that there's only a limited amount of fun be had at the expense of the travails of childbirth before it ceases to be amusing and just becomes cruelly smug.

As they often say where medical matters are concerned; the prevention of not being in a position to watch this film AT ALL would be more agreeable than the 'cure' of having to make excuses in defense, now that it's here for better or worse... On the same subject, if there was EVER an effective method of 'birth control', it's the deeply unsettling sight of Arnie 'with child'!! Perhaps the thought of 'Der Governator' going through all the 'joys' of morning sickness will help scores of young men from all over the world formulate a more effective plan when it comes to such crucial elements as keeping the wolf from the door... !! It'd certainly put ME off my stride, a bit, that's for sure!!
