Critic Reviews

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    A happy, healthy, bouncing baby of a movie.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    The plot is a more fertile ground for comedy than the 'sperm milkshake' that made Schwarzenegger and Danny De Vito brothers in Reitman's Twins.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    It's goofy and ridiculous and preposterous, and yet it makes you feel good, and there is something oddly heartwarming about the sight of this macho guy melting with feelings of protectiveness and maternal concern.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    As a comedy, Junior has its share of laughs -- but no more than its share.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    Junior demands more range from its leading man than he's capable of giving. The predictable result is a big-budget mess more likely to elicit groans than laughter.

    Can you really blame me for taking an interest with the events of the past couple of weeks? Looking over the criteria, why wouldn't this be a home run? The director is Ivan Reitman, who makes decent comedies, the cast includes Oscar winner Emma Thompson and always versatile Danny… More

    Another idiotic pregnant man movie, with some big stars who probably just did this movie for the fun of it. This comedy is stupid and unfunny, and I didn't care for it.
