Larry Arbogast), Emma Thompson (Dr. Diana Reddin), Frank Langella (Dr. Noah Banes), Pamela Reed (Angela)
One-joke comedy built around the concept that Arnold
Schwarzenegger (playing a doctor) becoming pregnant would be hilarious. It really isn't, but isn't atrociously terrible either, though it's the lines which Emma Thompson delivers which provide
the film's finer points.
An average Hollywood time-waster which is far from a bundle of
joy.
5/10
