Junior

1994 · 110 min

A goofy, warm-hearted comedy that plays its absurd premise straight, mixing slapstick with gentle sentiment about parenthood.

Tagline: Nothing is inconceivable.
Overview: A research scientist becomes the world's first pregnant man in order to test a drug he and a colleague have designed for expectant women. 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.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, warm and absurd. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Parenthood, science, love, identity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
