No, really. Arnold plays scientist Dr. Alex Hesse, who, with his partner Dr. Larry Arbogast (Danny DeVito), develops a drug that is supposed to help against miscarriages. After being denied research funding and a test subject, Arnold's character offers to carry the baby. Although it was initially to be a three-month test, he ends up carrying the baby to full term. |

No, really. He gives birth and everything. We get to see him all the way through the pregnancy. It's played mostly straight, but at least gives a somewhat interesting character development by breaking Hesse out of his shell. The baby also has a mother, Dr. Diana Reddin ([[Emma Thompson]]), who had donated the ovum. Hesse and Reddin start an unconventional family by the end. |

The movie was not terribly well-received by critics, although [[Roger Ebert]] in particular thought that it was very entertaining, and especially commended Arnold's role. The movie was a modest box office hit, earning $108,431,355 in the worldwide market. It was notably more successful in the international market than the American one, where it initially only gained $36,763,355 becoming the 39th most successful film of its year. |
