    Arnold Schwarzenegger reunites here with the Twins team of Danny DeVito and director Ivan Reitman for another comedy romp designed to show the lighter side of the action-movie superstar. Schwarzenegger and DeVito play struggling medical researchers working on a new fertility drug. When they lose their grant, in desperation Schwarzenegger injects himself with the experimental solution and, lo and behold, ends up pregnant.

Only Emma Thompson as a fellow scientist and love interest looks out of place in an underwritten role.
