Junior (1994)
7/10
Has its problems, but I enjoyed it....

In summing up, this movie is good but it isn't great. It does have its faults, but I found it surprisingly enjoyable. Starting with its problems, the film is a little too long, Pamela Reed is very underused which is a shame as I like her a lot as an actress and comedienne and there are one or two predictable parts. On the plus side, it is very well made with great cinematography and scenery, and the music is very nice. The pacing and direction are both very slick, and while Junior is basically very one-joke, there were some funny moments and the script does well to convey this. The acting is what drove Junior though, as well as the great if rather ridiculous concept. Arnold Schwarznegger is surprisingly entertaining here in one of his more lighter roles, while Danny DeVito is even better and Emma Thompson is absolutely gorgeous as the clumsy scientist and love interest(though I will say as a fan of hers she has given better performances). Overall, I liked it, it wasn't great but it wasn't awful either. 7/10 Bethany Cox
