The embryo, fertilized, is implanted in the abdomen of Dr.... Upon losing their grant to develop a fertility potion, two male scientists steal an embryo in an attempt to prove their theories correct. The embryo, fertilized, is implanted in the abdomen of Dr. Hesse, who intends to abort it after the first trimester. Instead, the somber Dr. Alexander Hesse starts developing an array of new emotions and insists on carrying the baby to full term. To aid the two doctors in their research, although she does not know what they are really up to, Dr. Diana Reddin helps the two men gain access to the laboratory. In the process, Hess and Reddin fall in love, and Hesse confesses that he is pregnant and with her child. After some initial protest she becomes very supportive. Mayhem follows when Hesse is forced to hide out in a maternity clinic disguised as a woman while being pursued by his former boss. [More]

Reutman's comedy is to this year's holiday season what Mrs. Doubtfire was to last year's, a funny but utterly conventional and obvious farce about genre and maternity.

A história é absurda, mas esta é uma daquelas comédias leves que servem como bom passatempo.

A pregnant Schwarznegger? Whose brainchild was this? A repugnantly lame and unfunny comedy.

Obviously not one of the films that cause some people to call Reitman the "king of comedy"
