Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

A lot of actors can hold big machineguns and stand convincingly in front of special effects and explosions. Not many can stand in front of a camera and be nine months pregnant, and actually make us care. Read full review

Susan Wloszczyna

No need to say hasta la vista to this baby. It's a keeper. [23 Nov 1994, p.1D]

Jay Boyar

By putting Thompson together with Schwarzenegger, DeVito and the others, Reitman creates abundant opportunities for comedy. The situation is ripe with possibilities. [23 Nov 1994, p.E1]

Empire Jeff Dawson

A daft movie, but one not without its moments of healthy radiance, spurred on by some bristling gags and a welcome comic return by Emma Thompson as a gauche fellow doctor caught in a romantic sub-plot. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Junior is passable entertainment, but it could hardly be called fully developed. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Let’s just say that, for the right audience, Junior may deliver. But there’s a whole lot of pregnancy to go through first. Read full review

James Berardinelli

The new Ivan Reitman/Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy is a one-joke affair, and it takes surprisingly little time for the potential humor in the situation to wear thin. Read full review

This film has been my favorite film for 26 years and I have not been able to watch anything since. This movie does all the things that make you laugh and cry. There's also some great transgender representation from Arnold! Although there are some transphobic bits I still believe this is a masterpiece of cinema that will never be paralleled by even the biggest and best studios out there.… Expand
