Junior
Nothing is inconceivable.
Directed by Ivan Reitman
Produced by Northern Lights Entertainment, Universal Pictures
A high-concept comedy that mines absurdist humor from the premise of male pregnancy while ultimately settling into a warm, hopeful story about unexpected parenthood and connection.
A research scientist becomes the world's first pregnant man in order to test a drug he and a colleague have designed for expectant women. To carry out the trial, he has an embryo implant, believing that he will only carry the baby for three months – hardly expecting to face the prospect of giving birth.
