In this comedy romp with a twist, Schwarzenegger is a struggling fertility scientist who indulges in self-experimentation with a new drug after he loses his research grant. The drug works and the hilariously feminised muscleman becomes a mother, supported by a surprisingly well-matched Thompson in the father role.
