Junior (1994)
A whimsical, broad comedy unfolds as a male scientist experiences the surreal journey of pregnancy.
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 intense is Junior?
Junior has no gore and no real violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is measured, and it is a comfort watch and a party watch. The humor runs broad and wholesome. Rated PG-13.
