To carry out the trial, he has an embryo implant, believing that he will only carry the baby for three months - hardly expecting to face the prospect of giving birth.

Critics Consensus

Even with an abundance of talent behind and in front of the camera, Junior doesn't quite deliver enough laughs to nurse its zany high-concept idea.

1/4

The fact remains that patriarchal comedy is the operative mode here, and every gesture made to alter that is strictly salad dressing.

The wait pays off. When the Big Guy starts showing, and begins to get that radiant glow, Junior hits its mellow, endearing comic stride.

A happy, healthy, bouncing baby of a movie.

...an appealingly high-concept premise that’s employed to mostly watchable yet entirely disposable effect...

Unusual science fiction set in contemporary times rather than the future.

Filme muito ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são ruins, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Honestly I can see how this isn't for everyone. If you can't handle the topic of Male pregnancy then this really isn't for you. If you do like Romance, comedy, and Male pregnancy, then this is the perfect movie. once he got his glow and I realized Diana was the love interest, I absolutely fell in love with this movie.

When we hear a movie about a man having a baby we already have low expectations. But Arnold Schwartzanegger having a flipping baby is on another level. This movie was an extreme waste of my time, the comedic elements felt deeply disturbing and made me want the sofa to eat me up. Cursed, slow and even more disappointing than I expected. Some movies are so bad that they are good. This was definitely, most certainly NOT one of those times. What the heck. This is in my nightmares...

Went into it expecting “a so bad it’s good” kind of movie and was pleasantly surprised with more than that. Not every movie has to be a high brow masterpiece, some can just be wacky and fun, and this one definitely was a lot of fun to watch!

The concept of this movie sounds weird, but it's actually quite wholesome, definitely watch!
