Junior: Directed by Ivan Reitman. With Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, Emma Thompson, Frank Langella. As part of a fertility research project, a male scientist agrees to carry a pregnancy in his own body.

“This is a very Clinton-era movie. Which is to say, if many conservatives believe that homosexuality is destroying the family unit or whatever I donu0026#39;t know what theyu0026#39;d think about this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs many people have said, overall this movie is just kind of creepy. I was expecting a stupid comedy where Arnold accidentally gets knocked-up and wacky hi-jinx ensue. Instead, I got a very touchy-feely movie about the ultimate way for a man to embrace his feminine side. With a smarter script and different casting, this could have actually worked, but instead the filmmakers try to make this subject standard box-office fare, which itu0026#39;s not. The result is the most unintentionally creepy romantic comedy ever. The scene where Arnold dreams of a baby with his face stands out in my mind as spectacularly nightmare-inducing. If that all sounds appealing to you, have fun!”
