Director Ivan Reitman and Arnold Schwarzenegger made three movies together. Twins was the best and Junior failed on delivery.
Arnie and Ivan reteam with Danny Devito but the magic from Twins is not replicated.
Arnie is Dr Alex Hesse, a research scientist from Austria. He is working with Dr Larry Arbogast (DeVito) a fertility expert. They are testing a new fertility drug, Expectane. However their funding is pulled in favour of a new project led by geneticist Dr Diana Reddin (Emma Thompson.)
Larry persuades Alex to continue with the research from another funding source. It involves Alex getting impregnated by an ovum codenamed 'Junior' that is stolen from Dr Reddin's lab.
The film follows Alex's pregnancy from getting morning sickness and then going into labour nine months later.
The comedy is forced with the only natural comedy coming from Thompson as her character is clumsy.
This was certainly a concept movie but it should had grown no further from there.
