Acid freakout + scenes of frightening Arnold baby + use of Animaniacs clips = a darn good review.

For years I've wondered why few people talk about this movie anymore, instead using titles like Eraser or Batman & Robin to describe the worst of Arnold's career. Is this movie so dull, so nauseating, so stupid an idea (it's not just pregnant Arnold... it's Arnold as a pregnant nerd) that people were actually able to block it from their memories? Well, I certainly hope I achieve that ability one day.

And it's a good thing to know that the Critic's finally tired of the Cookie remix. You'd think he'd learned his lesson after Nickelodeon Month about the overuse of theme songs.

Now I have three sequels. Ho ho ho.

A great review of a piece of crap movie starring Ah-nuld! I love those puke bits with the NC looking at infant-Arnold. I would love to see a famous I WAS FROZEN TODAY clip with infant-Arnold, but I digress.

So far the best NC review of 2010 :-)

The title card features the Critic holding a coathanger. You all know what that represents and I have to say, that was going just a bit too far.

I agree absolutely. I am pro-choice and I find the imagery disgusting.

Those who study history are doomed to watch others repeat it.

I really don't know what to think of this film. Actually, the NC review seemed kind of short and bland, but I still sat through it. The vomiting gag wasn't the least bit funny and kind of dragged out. And his "boring" music video pretty much summed up how bored I was with his review. I think the only funny part was his "Arnold the Librarian" bit and possibly the ending.

As for the film, well, the whole Arnold being pregnant seemed kind of ridiculous. He should just stick to action films. I can't imagine how a man could be pregnant and actually give birth (C-section perhaps?). And I suppose Danny DeVito agreed to be in the film since he was also in Twins with Arnold.

With a director like Ivan Reitman, I guess I was expecting more. He did a great job directing Ghostbusters, which is one of my favorite films, but did a horrible job with Junior. Hopefully the NC's Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer reviews will be better.

"he NC review seemed kind of short and bland"

It contained a psychedelic music video/nightmare sequence? How was it bland? I suppose it was bland as far as jokes about the movie go, but that was the point. As the critic pointed out, he had nothing to work with. THe movie was bland and boring, that's all he had to joke about. That's what made the movie worthy of his lampooning.

"The vomiting gag wasn't the least bit funny and kind of dragged out. "

It being dragged out was the point. That's the joke, he was THAT disgusted and horrified with what he had seen that he puked for THAT absurdly long. EVERYTHING with Arnold's nightmare baby was gutbustingly hilarious.

This review was fantastic.

As for Ivan Reitman, Ghostbusters is kinda his only great movie. He's never repeated that. Even Ghostbusters 2 doesn't come ANYWHERE close to capturing the magic and brilliance of the first. He really isn't that great of a director.
