This movie is full of funny switches -- it not only switched Hollywood's most macho man into a perfect pregnant mom, it also switched one of the most serious actresses into a great and silly comedienne! I don't think there is another actor in Hollywood who could carry off the role of a pregnant man with more panache than Arnold Schwartzenegger. I give him so much credit for taking this role, but he has always taken roles in which he makes fun of his own macho image -- that's what I like best about him. In fact, movies like this one and Twins and Jingle All the Way and Kindergarden Cop ("It's nod a tumah!") demonstrate that Arnold has been wasted on silly action films -- his true genius is for silly comedy! And who would have thought that classically-trained Emma Thompson, serious heroine of Jane Austen stories, could be such a fantastic slap-stick klutz comedienne! When her shoe flies across the room with the toilet paper stuck to it, I couldn't stop laughing. She definitely does not stand on her dignity in this movie! I really give her credit too for taking this role. And Danny DeVito is, of course, always great. He and Arnold are my favorite "opposite buddies" in movies, with the possible exception of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in the "Rush Hour" movies -- and, of course, Alan Arkin and Peter Falk in the original 1979 version of "The In-Laws"!
