 Definition: 

Junior
What happens when Arnold Schwarzenegger gets pregnant? The hilarious answer is delivered in this delightful comedy from Ivan Reitman, the director of Ghostbusters and Twins. Co-starring Danny DeVito and Academy Award winner Emma Thompson, it?s a radiant, laugh-inducing farce that touches the heart as deftly as it tickles the funnybone. Schwarzenegger portrays Dr. Alex Hesse, who with his associate, Dr. Larry Arbogast (DeVito), has developed a wondrous new drug to ensure healthy pregnancies. But when the government forbids further testing of their creation, Alex and Larry secretly move forward with a daring plan. To succeed, they must cope with a snooping, villainous research administrator (Frank Langella) and the brilliant, beautiful-but-klutzy scientist, Dr. Diana Reddin (Thompson). The seeds are sown for a hysterical, high-spirited whirlwind of humor, romance and tender insights into the magnificent power of maternal love.
