Synopsis

Junior (1994) is Ivan Reitman's sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Geneticist Alex Hess agrees to a wild experiment: he will carry a baby himself.

Hess and his colleague Larry Arbogast have cooked up a fertility drug meant to prevent miscarriages, but the funding dries up before they can prove it works. So they implant a frozen, donated egg into Alex — just three months, strictly for the trial. The plan falls apart once the hormones kick in and Hess starts to bond with the child he was never supposed to keep. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the pregnant man, Danny DeVito the scheming obstetrician, and Emma Thompson the scatterbrained researcher Diana whose embryo it actually is.

Reitman, who had already paired Schwarzenegger and DeVito in Twins, turns a one-joke premise into a warm story about the fear of becoming a parent. Stream Junior (1994) online on iFILM.
