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.

Critics Consensus

Even with an abundance of talent behind and in front of the camera, Junior doesn't quite deliver enough laughs to nurse its zany high-concept idea.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Chicago Reader

The fact remains that patriarchal comedy is the operative mode here, and every gesture made to alter that is strictly salad dressing.

Rated: 1/4

The wait pays off. When the Big Guy starts showing, and begins to get that radiant glow, Junior hits its mellow, endearing comic stride.

...an appealingly high-concept premise that’s employed to mostly watchable yet entirely disposable effect...

Rated: 2.5/4

If there exists a sense of humor or intrigue among us as a species that causes the viewer of this film to garner even a modicum of enjoyment from said viewing, I ain't got it.
