Arnold Schwarzenegger as a pregnant man? The Terminator with cramps and morning sickness? That was  all the teasing audiences needed to flock to this 1994 farce, which reunited Arnold with his director and costar fromTwins, Ivan Reitman and Danny De Vito. Reitman had also directed the Austrian muscleman inKindergarten Cop, and they brought the same breezy quality of those earlier films to this enjoyable fluff, in  which Arnold plays a scientist who uses his own body to test a revolutionary new fertility drug. His colleague De Vito  talks him into the experiment, which succeeds beyond their wildest expectations when Arnold begins a full-term  pregnancy. Emma Thompson offers a wealth of comedic support as the biologist who moves into Schwarzenegger's lab  while he's coping with his "maternal" condition, and Pamela Reed (who was also inKindergarten Cop) adds to  the fun as De Vito's pregnant ex-wife. What's surprising about this mainstream hit is not that it makes the most of  its absurd premise, but that it's also sweetly heartwarming in its treatment of role reversal and the joys and pains of  pregnancy. It's a good-natured vehicle for a different side of Schwarzenegger's star appeal, and the fact that it works at  all is a tribute to Reitman and his cleverly talented cast.--Jeff Shannon
